Does anyone know a site that lists how many coins are in each series? I counted through my folders and I got some approximate numbers, but I wanted to know if there was a way to confirm my counts (lost count a few times  ). Anyways, here's what I got: Nickels (Monticello + Westward Journey) = 168 Halves (Kennedy - Clad) = 56 Dimes (Clad) = 93 Pennies (Wheat) = 140 (Memorial + Shield) = 123 Quarters (Clad up to '98) = 63 (Statehood) = 112.... this one is for sure :P I'm just looking into new ways of storing my coins and the numbers could play a factor in my decision. |

It appears your not counting proofs, are you only considering business strikes/circulated coins?

For storage purposes I count the territories with the states.
Fuzzy: I'm only doing circulated/business strikes. Hmmm... the folders I use only list separate varieties for the 1982 coins. Could that be the difference?

Why not just purchase a Red Book and count them? |

Or you can create an Excel file and list all of them. That way you won't forget any and you can include just want you want to collect?

I must concur, the Red Book is an essential tool when it comes to coins in my opinion. |
