I think my largest swap is in the works. So far my largest swap has been about 15 coins.

 the great thing about bulk coins like that is you can give some away free!

 My most coins went to the same Allred who bought all those Finland pennies, I sent him over 7 pounds of coins or so. I also packed in several hundred UK pennies free because they are worthless (I couldn't get anything for them) but I knew he would love them, so it was a lot of coins as far as numbers go.
 But my best swap was with a Russian member for a Thaler, 1769. not sure I got the best end of the deal, I swapped $130 worth of coins, but it is my best coin in my collection, I am happy with it. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14906.html
 I need pre 1783 coins from Mexico city, or Spanish empire, I have lots of good coins not in my swap list for anyone who has one, VF or better.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

no man, sadly my luck ran dry in 2013. I only have about two pounds of excess, but I am still looking for coins to buy.  If I find a big lot, I will let you know.

It was a bit over 100 coins.

However usually my swaps are between 15-20 coins, few times have been just one or two coins also.

Previous one was a "Currency swap" with a US collector, US dollars/quarters for UK £1/£2 coins, so 16 UK for 48 US coins.

Current "low value coin" swap with a fellow UK collector is for about 60-70 coins which is my biggest to date.

I once did an 800-1 swap!!!  :o Well, it wasn't really a swap. I traded my Russian tin token from 1770's for a bulk lot of 8 pounds.
