Well under $10,000 - to me, that borders on an unimaginably huge amount of money.
Let's put it that way: if someone offered me $9,000 for as much of my collection as I can find (there are coins that I've lost so long ago I've no idea where to start searching, so I'd have to exclude them), I'd probably jump at the offer. And then spend $1,000 on acquiring many of the same again (though I'll probably never find such a great lowball Peace dollar, but I'd be just fine with a XF one), $1,000 on some large silver and small gold because they're just a bit too expensive for me currently, and leave the rest for further spending

Sure, it's priceless... unless you throw enough money. And $10,000 - or even a little less - is more than enough money.

Note to those overly interested in my collection.

My collection is not really worth anything - It wouldn't even be worth the petrol needed to drive it away. If fact it's tainted with a horrible disease enducing chemical so it's probably worth a minus value plus all your medicial bills.

Nothing to see here ..... move along .....

Considering how many of our members are either relatively new to the hobby or or simply "for fun" collectors, I would bet that most members' collections would be worth far less than the lowest option. Still, not something most would consider posting on a forum thread.


Srcliff.....that was funny!

To be honest this thread is kinda pointless since posting the value of your collection online honestly is not safe and anyone smart will either write an incorrect answer or not answer at all.

Same thoughts here. I just can't see advertising on line anything that could end up being a problem.
I too would think that many replies are either just fakes or not necessarily honest.

If I sold it to Richard Lobel at Coincraft and he offered me half the prices he sells coins for, I reckon my collection would be worth over £100,000... But somehow I don't think he'd pay me £17.25 for a date set of average circulated George V pennies (no H's or KN's and no 1926 Modified Effigy)

Seriously ........ just a fun little thread for those of us not overly paranoid about our collections, to compare (and brag) about our collections
So if you're not going to participate fine, but why comment then ?

So if you don't want to participate, like Bacchus said,

Yea as a new person here, it's kind of discouraging seeing all these people unnecessarily posting. First, if you don't want to post your collections value( for god knows what reason) DONT POST IN HERE. It's quite ignorant.

There is no way shape or form that saying how much silver you have stacked on this public forum would result in any foul play. It's pretty ridiculous some of you all's responses, all you have done is ruin a perfectly fun thread.

Now, to be ON TOPIC, and not a spamming troll. I would say my silver collection isn't anywhere over $500 :( I'm working on it though!

I'd say under $10,000 as most of the coins I own are copper or silver. I own less than a dozen gold coins and none with a face value greater than $5 (no eagles, double eagles, or bullion)

Even though I have spent 6 figures on my collection. Right now its worth absolutely nothing in dollar terms. The only time it will be worth something, IMHO, is the day I sell it!

Of course since there is no way to link the posting of a specific person to a specific collection value no one will know what YOUR collection is worth unless you then post the amount in the thread with your name attached. Which basically none of us are doing. I answered the poll (honestly I think), but can anyone prove what value level I chose?

I was more interested in seeing how CCF was diversified as a whole. The poll is anonymous. Thanks for voting. Sorry I didn't make options for $5000, $2500, and under $1000. My Bust!
