I apologise if this has been done before...

Not for a long time, and not as a direct poll, that I could find. Go for it.

As for me, I voted on about what I thought my collection was valued at... and then went to my coin database to find out the grand total of what I've actually paid for my coins. My records only go back to the mid-1990's, but prior to that (as a YN, teenager, uni student and then a young unemployed) I wouldn't have spent too much anyway.

The number my database spat back out at me was way, way more than my estimate.

According to my spreadsheet, which I only started less than a year ago, I've spent about $516 and the RedBook value of these coins is about $624. This doesn't include everything I had before I started the spreadsheet, plus all the circulation stuff, etc etc. That's only coins I have actually purchased from the shop or a show. Actual total spent would probably be $700-$800 just guessing.

Priceless to me, but probably worth around $4K if I sold everything.
Rest in Peace

I voted for over 50,000 dollars ... unless you discount the 180,000,000,000.00 + in Zimbabwe dollars or the 4,000,000.00+ in Turkish Lira, Then it is probably in the $5,000.00 range

And as many might think, being 17 years old it would seem this is my parent's money buying the collection, but every single penny has been earned by me

With a value of $25-35K you have a heck of a collection. Inquiring minds want to know.....Do you have a good job, or did you amass the collection by buying/selling coins. Either way it's pretty impressive.
