Hello everyone, what's your coin collecting status since the start of pandemic? (which occurred in March 11, 2020)
As a collector, I haven't collected as much as before pandemic because I can't go outside to buy coins or banknotes. But four people helped me to add more by sending me without going outside. They are three Filipinos and one Hungarian.
Look at my collection history, it is just like flattened the curve, but it will back to normal if community quarantine or pandemic ends.

I joined the community just before the outbreak of this madness, but didn't let it disrupt my exchanges with similarily minded members. Of course, with flights almost at shutdown, postal services around the globe became slow but - they still were operating. Going to the post office was one of the rare "outings", most businesses being closed.
To conclude: collectors who really want to trade should not be put off by what's happening, as long as they can find an operating post office!
Stay safe!
I 100% agree with the above comments.
As the only coin shop in my area has been virtually close throughout the recent problems, my only way of increasing my collection is to exchange with you people out there.
Obviously, this has also been difficult, mainly due to flights not going as often as normal. I still kept any swaps that had been started open, so that they could be finalized when possible, and I have to say, that this worked very well and all of these exchanges were completed.
I still have a few open, and they will be concluded when possible.
I have been very happy with these exchanges, even though they may have taken longer to sort out than usual.
I am always looking for new swap partners, although they do not always work out for a variety of reasons.
I have not acquired any coins since the pandemic began. I am in the USA, where lots of people are not very safe.
I have a feeling that there may be a lot of nice coins available for good prices when this is over, simply because a lot of people are going to die, and some of them will of course be collectors.
