This is a little game I thought up. :`
So essentially, how many of the (seemingly randomly picked) coin types featured in the Numista header do you currently own in your collection?
I've tried to ID them here from left to right, but feel free to correct me if you notice any faults:

1. Argentina 1 Peso:

(same coin as No.2)

Not going to bother with the big pile of coins on the far right for obvious reasons. 8)
I myself currently own Numbers 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 (and possibly number 7).

Would be pretty cool to see someone who owns all of them to line them up and photograph them as they are positioned in the header.... though the biggest obstacle is probably that ancient Athenian coin.
I don't own 4, 6, 13, 14 and 16. But the nickel version of 16 I do own
I have a few Mercury dimes, and hundreds of Lincoln cents, but nothing else on that list.

I have 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17.
I have 3, 7, 9, 10, and 11
Ha! Not worth to brag at all :8D
I have 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15 Not even half! I guess I have some work to do (8

just 1, 5, 8, 9, and 10
Have them all except 6,13,16
So.... absolutely no one has 6? x.

By the way, for coins where the exact denomination or type is ambiguous (e.g. the East German coin, No.12, where we don't know the denomination), having any of the possible options (a GDR 1pf, or 5pf, etc.) counts. ;)
I have 6, as does I imagine most people who have any sort of Greek collection. It's pretty much the Iconic and most popular coin of the era.
I have 9 of them

​Those things seem to start around $1000, and go up from there. That might explain why they're not as common as Lincoln Cents (for example).

​​Those things seem to start around $1000, and go up from there. That might explain why they're not as common as Lincoln Cents (for example).
​I know next to nothing about ancient Greek coins, so I just believed when I was told above that anyone who had any sort of Greek collection has one.

But then again I also kind of assumed that they were rare, since it's so iconic and I've heard people say that "X coin is probably the closest I'll get to owning an Athenian owl coin". :.
Have and added to my Numista collection: 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 (I linked the last one because it's not the exact type listed in the OP)
Definitely have but apparently not in my Numista collection: 4, 8
Probably have, but not very sure: 1, 7
Probably don't have, but not very sure: 2, 17
Definitely don't have (and unlikely to get anytime soon): 6, 14

13 is tricky - I have a 1/2 franc, but I'm not sure if it counts as the same design.
3, 5, 7, 10, possibly 12 and 15. Also, 4 is on my so called smaller wishlist.
I have 7!
I honestly expected less
