How many issuers do you have?

90 posts

» Quick access to the last post

With currently 1316 issuers in the catalog I was wondering how many issuers do our members have. Before we had the 300 country club, what used to be a big accomplishment. How many issuers is know possible for an average collector?

I currently have 271 issuers in my collection.
​Mine has 304 ...

Just 1, unless you count the coins that I have for sale at the moment
What? Me Worry
253 Issuers here, 160 countries.
335 issuers, 238 countries.........
316 issuers and 216 countries.
70 issuers, 53 countries (only Europe!)

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
324 issuers, and 238 countries. Did have over 300 countries, but that will not happen again.

455 issuers

I used to have over 300 countries, but now only 267.

207 countries; 290 issuers. :)
139 countries; 152 issuers.

One of my first goals when I started collecting was One From Every Country (OFEC). I found Numista looking for a good country list and set 300 as my "finally done" goal. Before the reorganization I went over 300, but cannot remember exactly how many. What is important one day is a foggy memory the next.
I am currently at 245 countries and 504 issuers.
228 issuers and 196 countries. I still have many many cheap (under €5) coins to go. Only problem is that one seller have usually just one or few new issuers for me so postages may be as much as the coin itself. A decade ago I bought one coin from 200 countries (or close, I dont remember) UNC set for €60 so got many modern issuers that way.

Now I have organized my coins by continents, but have thinked it would be nicer to put medieval and ancient coins in separate binders. There's quite a contrast between modern unc €2 and ancient Greek coins.

Countries 164, Issuers 195

I've not uploaded everything yet though, including my notgeld collection, which i imagine will boost the issuers :) Also i don't bother uploading my ancient coins here.

Also not interested in non-circulating coins, so that limits the issuers i can get dramatically.

Between 18th May and 12th July, I still have 324 issuers, but lost a country. No idea why from 238 to 237.

Not that many to be honest.

I guess with me, its more areas of numismatics that interest me and quality vs the quantity

252 Countries and 466 Issuers, not paid over £30 for a coin and lots of German and Indian states to go at, which will get me closer to 500 Issuers!

I'm going to struggle to get any higher in modern countries
I am a light weight compared to most of you guys. I have 213 countries and 273 issuers. Lately I have been making an effort to collect silver and rarer coins from around the world even when I have a coin from that country. Still lots of great coins to hunt for.
259 countries and 434 issuers now. It is becaming difficult to increase the numbers.

63 issuers and 59 countries.
Silver coins were among the first coins ever used, thousands of years ago. The silver standard was used for centuries in many places of the world. And the use of silver for coins, instead of other materials, has many reasons.
165 issuers and 144 countries. Not much but the zeal for improving these numbers is alive and kicking.

They say "Pecunia non olet", but I know better...
252 Countries and 493 Issuers, with another 8 in the post so should have 501 Issuers.

I think getting to 600 will be a bit harder :-)
280 countries and 460 issuers.

I was trying to focus more on "countries", but it will get almost impossible to move further soon. At some point, I will start getting more issuers.
iiruig well done on that number of Countries, I will sruggle to get many more, especially with no coins shows happening.

German Notgeld is a good way to get some cheap issuers :-)

​Thanks!

Yeah, those German & French notgelds, German states and Princely States are the worlds of their own.
Target achieved of 500 issuers, cutting it fine, 3 just came in the post!

Might set a smaller challenge for next year :-)
Happy Xmas all!

355 issuers. Latest additions are the Swiss Canton of Appenzell-Ausserrhoden and the German Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel.

I don't have any German notgeld. Never got to it

​At the end of 2020 ... just got in about 10 new issuers (French and German notgeld), so ending 2020 with 56 countries (an erroneous Jamaican coin had sneaked in last time!) and exactly 100 issuers ...

Just hate how countries outside European mainland (including the islands on the continental flat, not letting go of UK/Eire) get coloured with my European coins ;(

Starting the new year with 571.
Not sure if I will expand this year, actually thinking about reducing and being more focused.
Have been acquiring German notgeld almost exclusively his past year and may continue that trend.

It is fun to watch it change, but I do like the issuer count better than the bogus country count.

237 countries and 470 issuers for me.
now 498 issuers and some expected in the mail which will it be that makes 500?

Wouldn't it be better if just the modern UN countries was counted as countries, and all "Non-Self-Governing Territories", unrecognised territories, and former countries, empires, colonies was counted as issuers? Then there wouldn't be any "what's a country", and "why is this a country and that an issuer" arguments. Then we would just have 195 countries, and everybody can agree that that's fair.

I feel I am cheating by going for German Notgelds 😁

​I feel I am cheating by going for German Notgelds 😁
​We all do "cheat" with some German notgelds. The bigger problem is when you have both French and German notgelds:D.
I don't have any French ones, at least at the moment.
I got my first Algerian notgeld the other day, didn't know they existed.

Nice and cheap on fleabay😁

​Omg, I did not know they exist either. There is a whole Universe of notgelds out there apparently that I am not even aware of, just started scratching the surface.

​They added/split several new issuers in the last 2-3 weeks. Though I don't know which ones. I also got +3-4 during these days.
It would be nice to have a log of such changes or if it could appear on the list of changes to each person's collections, but there seems to be no interest in this I guess.
There was an attempt to track changes on this post, but it seems to have died in the underworld of old posts ...X-D

Just make 500 Issuers, 210 Countries last week. Been collecting for about 5 years now. Coin shows, coin clubs, coin shops, swapping on Numista, and having a small monthly club meeting with some friends helped me make it to 500 issuers.
