Same here. I collect by type, however Numista doesn’t distinguish between varieties which it classifies as the same type. So I use the “coins” filter which is a little more than the “type” filter when I tally it up.
I think I should have made my listing a bit clearer, as to what I meant by variants.
For example.
Russia includes, USSR, Russian Empire and Russia
I do not actually collect varieties of the same coin, such as different mints.
I collect by KM#, so only have one coin of any KM# as listed in Krause. If variants are list as Km#100.1, 100.2 & 100.3, then I do collect each coin. If the coin is listed as KM#100, but with three different mints, then I do not collect then.
According to my Numista listing, I have 15,370 coins and 15,370 different coins. This must confirm above explanation, I hope.
Just realised after checking my list again, but missed Germany.
If I add all country name variants under the German flag, I total 496, which puts it in second place.
GDR, Notgeld, Germany 1871-1948, GFR & Saar.

Ah OK, in my case, Russia only refers to Pre and post USSR as per Numista (else I have an additional 105 USSR coins)
By varieties, I do mean KM100.1, 100.2, 100.3 etc. Like you, I don't consider mint marks/dates as varieties. However, having said that, I get 9262 Coins, 9248 Different coins and 9062 Different types. I'm not sure what to make of that; ideally, the coins and different coins should align, while i can understand that different types may mean KM regardless whether its 100.1 or 100.2
I remember when I asked the question on why these two numbers were different, even though I only collect by type.
I eventually had to troll through my collection to remove the coins I had listed incorrectly as being type, but we're not. Like you I did now have many, so it took me a while. I will see if I can find the question I placed on the forum.

I just pulled out the excel spreadsheet of my collection. I wanted to check under the Qty column if it happened that I entered more than 1. It was the case for a north korean coin which i mistakenly put as 5.
But, there are 9706 rows (2 tokens included). Now I'm completely baffled. And whats more, whereever I have indicated coins to exchange, the Qty column for the collection shows as 0. However, I looked up the coin on numista and it all seems ok with the collection and exchange fields.
I'll have to eventually manually check my collection against the spreadsheet. As of now, online, numista says I have just under 9262 coins, but the spreadsheet shows me 9706 rows!
On Numista, one variety = one line on the coin pages.
The number of coins you own doesn't appear on this list : it's the total of the "Coins" (the ones in your collection) and "Coins to swap" fields.
The number of lines that appears on the excel spreadsheet includes coins you have in your collection AND coins you have in your swap list.
This information doesn't appear on the listing showing above.

I rechecked and indeed, there were 424 duplicate rows which pertain to the coins in my swap list. So 9702 less 424 comes to about 9278. Still a discrepancy from the 9258 that shows in my collection. Have to figure these 20 coins, but don’t know how to find it easily
I have an issue similar to ashlobo's. The discrepancy between "Coins" and "Different coins" is exactly one (1) although ideally, there should be no discrepancy at all.
So I exported my entire collection into Excel and sorted the Quantity column in descending order but there is no value greater than 1. Which means that I don't have any 2 or more coins in the same line. So where does the difference come from? I'm completely baffled.

I'll update here after I hit the coin stores later today, but for now could someone change the word "countrys" to "countries" in the title please? It's a really small thing but it's bugging me a bit.
Looks like I forgot to update it a month ago, so here I'll do it now.
Not much changed for me between May and December except India moved from No. 10 to No. 8, and I swapped a lot of my British and Chinese duplicates for Russian and German coins. The UK and China are still in spots No. 1 and 2, though.
But France will also probably overtake China and the US soon, as I'm about to purge my US collection of modern, circulating coins for cash.
By "country": 1. United Kingdom, 245 (UK 231, England 12, Scotland 1, BWI 1) (-60) 2. China, 181 (PRC 14, Empire 36, Rep 34, JPS 18, HK 60, Macau 13, KC 1, Tibet 5) (-44) 3. United States, 176 (USA 175, Hawai'i 1) (+1) 4. France, 172 (France 149, Kingdom 10, Réunion 2, SPM 2, FG 2, FC 4, Martinique 2, FN 1) (+14) 5.

India, 93 (British 64, IPS 23, Danish 1, Portuguese 4, India 1)(+16) 9. Italy, 91 (Italy 69, Italian states 22) (+10)

And just a couple of days later, I exchanged $19 worth- most of my modern, non-silver US coins, with a friend headed to Canada and the States; so now my count of US coins is down from 175 (excluding Hawai'i) to 129 (-46).
That means the USA with 130 coins total is now in 5th place on my list, and France and Germany are now 3rd and 4th respectively.
Verweis : "pcarey2003"As suggested by Daryl who started the original list here I thought I would get the ball rolling on a new forum
well, ar least you could've corrected to the correct plural form of "country"..consudering the majority don't have english as their native language, it would me much helpful if those who have would spell the words correctly..so, "The top 10 countries you have coins from (2)"
Ok, just shipped off a some 150+ circulating coins to a Numista member, and after removing all of them from my collection:
1. United Kingdom, 245 (UK 231, England 12, Scotland 1, BWI 1)
2. France, 172 (France 149, Kingdom 10, Réunion 2, SPM 2, FG 2, FC 4, MQ 2, FN 1)

8. Italy, 91 (Italy 69, Italian states 22)
9. Belgium, 78 (Belgium 78)
9. Russia, 78 (Russia 4, USSR 51, Empire 23)
France is now in second place, a few dozen coins behind the UK, still in number one; China has slipped to third, while Russia slipped to ninth; Canada has slipped out of the top 10 altogether, and Belgium of all countries, is now ninth (joint with Russia)!

Zero movement over the last month for my top ten countries. Not a coincidence since I've slowed down my coin spending over the last month
Some small movement to my top ten list over the last month. I've gone into somewhat of a pause as I've had some big expenses in general and expecting the coin budget to take a couple knocks as well in the next couple months with some big ticket coin sets

Mostly downsizing (swapping out doubles and common circulating coins) my top 10 countries, China and the UK in particular, but Russia (+40) and the Netherlands (+20) have grown massively; the former because I'm getting into Russian Imperial silver and finishing my Soviet circulating type set, while the latter because my Dutch friend got me into Dutch coins, which propels the Netherlands into 9th place on my list! Italy has also grown a fair bit, and meanwhile the USA has dropped out entirely.

So, Russia have taken my list by storm and shot up to 5th place thanks to a few recent excellent swaps. Australia have been dropped from the top 10 list once more.

Pretty good start to 2020!
The pandemic pretty much kaiboshed any swaps or new purchases this year. However that did give me the fillip I needed to validate my numista collection with coins in my albums and in coincards/casettes/capsules etc. Its taken me 5 months and i still can't say my collection is fully validated as i have some 1000 coins of my collection sitting in my parents home which is in another country.
Anyways, my top ten list should be correct as I know I have these countries with me in one place

My collection now stands around 10,100 (by type). After adding and removing coins in the validation process, I ended up with net +350 coins approximately! I was quite surprised by that

I concentrate my collecting on 4 main groups - Australia, United Kingdom, USA & Euros
This is what I have of each
Australia 2561 different coins, 5667 to swap
USA 1320 different coins, 759 to swap
United Kingdom 943 different coins, 1051 to swap
Euros 2738 different coins, 2771 to swap
It is a moving target as I am always adding to it.
I do have other country coins but they are mainly only for swapping.
Cheers Mike

Well, it's been a long time since I posted here, and I haven't swapped anything since my last post. I have though started to clean out my collection, so my swap list is full with new entries.
After this cleanout the numbers has, of course, changed a bit. So here it goes:

I too enjoy seeing counts of types, and don't care about duplicate counts.
I'd be interested in seeing Numista-wide aggregates of the most-collected countries by type.
I still just use a spreadsheet for my own collection, so my list is inflated compared to what Numista would count, since I am going by spreadsheet rows which count subtypes (eg, .1 and .2) as types, unlike Numista.
1. India. 260
2. Canada. 234
3. Egypt. 224
4. Great Britain. 207
5. United States. 203
6. Russia. 171
7. Israel. 163
8. Mexico 163
9. Portugal 155
10 Turkey. 154

Hardly any progress in general for my collection as I haven’t swapped with anyone since the last time I updated this. Also, my employment situation was somewhat uncertain going into the new year, so I held on to the purse strings. However, things seem to be settling down, so I might resume buying coins, albeit modestly going forward each month

7) Italy (9)
8) Netherlands (8)
8) Trinidad & Tobago (8, all in one proof set)
10) Ireland (7)
Recent orders, when they arrive, will bolster Canada, and get Australia and South Africa onto the list - sorry Ireland!

I finally received just under 50 euro coins that were sitting across the pond with a friend. Its been nice to put some coins in flips after such a long time
Verweis : "SRV5490"Are duplicates included in these totals.
Do you mean in general? I suppose everyone has their own yardstick whether to include Mintmark/Date/Variety/KM number/error etc. I would imagine most if not all are not counting duplicates meant for swaps or not part of the core collection
In my case, I collect by KM type including variety if I can find them. I should add it also includes NCLT. However, they do not include Mint mark/dates/errors/duplicates

Final numbers for 2021. Eliminated some duplicate years, so many of these numbers went down. Few additions the last two and a half years until new car is paid off. The few purchases I did make were mostly focused on some missing US years. US would clearly be first just from wheat pennies alone so they're not included here.

Starting the year with a big bump up for my UK collection!
I appear to be a real slacker compared to all you guys...
1. Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth - 124 (30%)
2. Kingdom of Poland - 94 (22%)

4. France Feudal - 40 (9%)
5. Italian States - 33 (8%)
6. German States - 23 (5%)
7. Bohemia - 18 (4%)
I'm embarrassed that I can't even get up to a list of top 10 without starting to giggle becuse of the very small numbers. It might help if I entered my U.S. coins into Numista, but they would probably only come in around #4, and I still wouldn't make it to a top 10.
