+Team Luvbassn Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I just started collection geocoins less than a year ago and my wife has now put me on a budget. I only have about 100 and was wondering how many you have? Also how do you store or display your coins? I have a zippered binder with coin pages that are getting very heavy. Just wanted to know.

+Panther&Pine Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have 23 unactivated coins and 8 activated coins. Right now they live in a box. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I guess the best answer is this... NOT ENOUGH! Quote Link to comment
+Mekle Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I guess the best answer is this... NOT ENOUGH! You know, my first reaction was "EXACTLY!" but then I realized that might not be complete enough for me. So, my answer has to be: "Some would say TOO MANY, but I say NOT ENOUGH!" And... I plead the 5th on the actual count. Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 2206. But I promise I keep trying to thin it out And they're all in cardboard coin holders in zippered binders. . . TMA Quote Link to comment
+slowdownracer Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have a zippered binder with coin pages that are getting very heavy. Just wanted to know. Yep! I just started my 4th zippered binder. The other 3 binders are 10 pages, 12 coins each page, and are very heavy. I feel your pain. Both carrying them and the one in your wallet. I also have 1 and 1/2 binders full of geocaching wooden nickels and poker chips, 10 pages, 20 coins each page, and they aren't that heavy. Quote Link to comment
+ice13-333 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have about 300 coins in my collection and 100 traders at the moment Quote Link to comment
+fuzziebear3 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Counting would only depress me (and my wallet). I have a nice collection -- in a binder, it is very heavy. Probably more than 100 but less than 200. And I also have a few more out in the world as well. Quote Link to comment
+drneal Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I finally did some looking...probably somewhere around 2800 coins, and 2 binders completely filled with sig items and wooden nickels...25 binders. ILYK Quote Link to comment
+JackHoe Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 At this moment I have 926 activated coins in my collection. A few non trackable and 29 in my trade box. I have 12 binders, a few coins on stands on different places in the room and since two weeks I have this one: Quote Link to comment
+G & C Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have about 150 activated coins in my current collection, not counting the couple dozen I have out and about traveling. The coins in my collection are in coin flips, which are in coin pages, which are in one of those CD binders. Works pretty well, and it zips up nicely. I'm going to need to start a new one soon here, as I'm definitely running out of room. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 At one point I had over 10,000 coins (including traders)... now I am down to a much more manageable 500 (give or take a handful)! Quote Link to comment

I thought you gave up collecting. I can't imagine having that many I have 215 not including traders. I am lucky enough to have some of the rarest including Moun10bike ver 1, 2 and 3 Edited June 30, 2011 by blazerfan Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 At one point my collection was nearing 4000, counting multiple versions/metals of the same design. I'm now down to under 100 keepers. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 TOO MANY!! 8 books, 12 Binders and a few drawers full and a couple of trader boxes to boot, I need to thin out. Maybe it's time to join the re-sellers and cull the herd. Quote Link to comment
+Serchnsoul Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 :::sigh:::: I only started last month so I only have 6 that I have purchased so far. 4 regular sized and 2 micro coins. I had one more but gave it to my son and his fiancé to start their collection when I found out they had been geocaching when they lived in Alaska . So far they are kept in a small lock n lock box.

+fox-and-the-hound Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 more than 10! ILYK (wiping away my tears of laughter right now!!) Quote Link to comment

I was lucky enough to have some of the rarest including Moun10bike ver 1, 2 and 3 I did gave up collecting. But I still buy a few club coins, memorial coins and trade personals with people. And accept gifts! Most of my newer coins are my own designs. That's why I have 1/20th of what I did have. Quote Link to comment
+mamoreb Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I have 43 keepers in a drawer, one on my office desk, and one in my caching bag (mileage tracker). Should find a better system than the drawer, they deserve better... Quote Link to comment

Its a good reason to come and drink a cup of your very well tasting coffee soon and admire al your new and beautiful displayed coins I have a little over 600 geocoins in my collection, which is far to many.(About 60 are traveling) I'm trying to cut back for over a year now, but I keep discovering al those awesome new coins. Never mind, increasing bills will help me cut down soon I think. Until then, I'm hooked.... I keep my coins in small home painted wooden boxes (painted by my artistic niece). I keep some special coins in a beautiful frame, the pingos made for me and I bought a small display cabinet, that I still have to hang on the wall.
