I mainly collect penny's and cent , the smallest value coins. It is sad to think most are gone or will be gone . But for some reason they make the most cents.
Mine is around 500 but not entered here yet, I only add them if I come across a coin I need to search for to get specs of a coin, then add it. My collection was reset a while ago just before my dear friend hamster went on a vacation.

It's not about quantity but quality. I could have a collection in the thousands...in fact at one stage I did have a collection in the thousands. But when I realised that the flips were worth more than many of the coins they contained, I decided to focus my collection, now I have 600, but they are all coins that are meaningful to me, rather than just collecting anything and everything that comes my way.
Now I'm refining even further by concentrating on upgrading all the coins that are below VF rather than getting new coins. I have about 110 to upgrade.
190 for me last year it was double that or so but my collection still got better for me
