Only one. I have a Mercury dime in a slab that says it's a Doubled Die. I have never been able to see where or how it's doubled so I just left it in the slab.

How about "Bitcoins" you can't even see these let alone touch them

I keep my bitcoin collection right between my twin Panama-Pacific $50 pieces and my Eucratides 20-stater.

Most of my bullion coins go untouched (at least by me). I like to keep that beautiful silver or golden shine. :)

You mean you have enough Bitcoins to count? You know how much they are, right?

Do BU rolls of pennies count? Gosh, we are thinking, without pennies maybe 20%, and with maybe more like 60%. So hard, coins all over the place..

That's actually a good point about BU rolls. I have almost a whole box of 2009 LP-1 and LP-2 that I haven't opened, because the thrill of not knowing if there are DDRs in there.

To be honest I think that there is not a single coin in my collection that I haven't touched. :D

I only took a guess, 25 to 50% ...
It's just to late to do any math

For some of the coins I moved from the dealer's 2x2 to an air-tite, I still haven't touched them. I carefully slide it from the 2x2 into the air-tite and use my squeeze blower thing to clean it off. Even to flip it, I put the opposite half over and flip the whole air-tite.

I'm guessing the majority of my collection has not been touched by my hands yet, nor will some of them ever. When I do handle my coins directly, I make sure to wash my hands before.
