Can I make another post if I end up finding a larger hoard? Of course only the largest hoard I post would count.
It's just that I'm pretty sure I have several sorted hoards of 300+ identical 10 kopek coins, but I hadn't seen them in many years - I thought they were the two huge bags of 10 kopek coins under my desk, but those turned out to actually be mixed dates (...I should probably spend them, come to think of it).
OTOH, I can find a hoard of several dozen duplicates quickly, but I know that it couldn't possibly be my largest...

About six months too late for me. All my senseless coin hoarding (33k+ wheat cents, 10k Memorial cents, 23 rolls 1963P LMCs, five Jeff nickel folders...etc.) all sold off. May have 5 or more rolls of 1960D LD cents around.

I have about 300 1964 and 1964-D quarters as part of my silver stack. These were taken from circulation around 1965-1970. Unfortunately, I don't have a group picture of them.

@crazy, coin hoarding is not senseless. It is obsessive-a big difference.  |

@Oriole,  WE ALL must truly be OCD or as myself, adult on-set ADD or any one of the obsessive/possessive/regressive or compulsive disorders to do this stuff! Intelligence alone cannot account for it! I was left alone by visiting Aliens BECAUSE they sought intelligent life here on earth... |

Good idea for this round @finn. It's gonna make me think what I have lots of...

Since my collection is so small, it doesn't take too long to figure out. When I got some cent rolls a while back, I ran across a BU BWR of 2016-Ds and, for whatever reason, decided to keep them.
So my biggest redundancy is 50 2016-D cents. I can provide a pic if need be.

I do not own many duplicates of coins (excluding pocket change), but there is one type of coin I cannot seem to stop myself from buying:  Those are 1 schilling pieces from the Free City of Riga, all made in 1577. I love these things! (It is not just that one date I have accumulated though; I believe I have 24 of these things total, but I do not have a group photo of them all. 1577 is the date I have the most of, though.) |

While I don't have pics of my quarters, I do have pics of each gold coin in my stack. I should be able to post a composite pic of my most numerous date. This will be a rather small hoard (numerically).
I can't take a single group photo, since the coins are locked up in the bank vault. However, I can create a mosaic out of existing photos taken before the coins were placed in the vault.

Nice, Joseph! I have one of those, too... they are cool little coins! I'm surprised we haven't gotten any more photos yet, but I guess it takes time to dig out the old hoards. |

My small hoard of 1908 $20 gold:  I suppose I should point out that this hoard is equivalent to 160 rolls of cents. Note that the 1st coin (upper left) was obtained in the 1960s, for about $60.00 (3x face value). Edited by pepactonius
