it's a question I wondered a few nights ago. I was taking a break from reading or posting here and it occurred to me that I don't personally know even 1 other coin collector. seriously, I have no one here (in key west) to swap with or even just talk about coins with. no one. all my friends must get tired of listening to me bring them coin news. i can't be the only one, but I'm sure most of you personally know at least one or two other collectors. you know, other people who collect coins and that you see regularly or swap with at least infrequently. so, how many other collectors do you personally know? I'm just curious.  |

Not counting the Coin Shop and the people that I met through here, I know of 4 other collectors. Counting the people here its a lot more.

Aside from this site... I'm at....nada...nill...the big 0 Maybe because I'm always suspicious when another customer at my LCSs starts-up a conversation with me... Most my shops are 5 to 15 minutes away...and my drive home takes around 30 to 45 minutes....just saying...  Edited by Greasy Fingers

Three people excluding anyone here or on Numista.
Two of them collect stamps as well and that is how I met them and they told they do coins as well years ago. Basically they are why I collect coins again.
Another one is a guy I met tonight who is related to a coin dealer.
The coin club I am in has about 12 members, but I don't really know them that well yet as I have only been going for 4 months and Covid 19 has meant no meetings since March.
All are much older than me.

I know one guy (kind of a putz) that does, but I can't see myself going to a coin show in Pittsburgh (about 1.5 hour drive) with him.

Locally only a handful. Mostly I view online forums as the place to talk numismatics.

I don't know any personally, but I just found out there's a coin club that meets monthly at a library about 3 or four miles from where I live, so when this covid thing calms down I think I'll check it out.

None. No one around me wants to admit to having even a dollar. Even at coin shows people all say they are just passing through.
