putsmassor

Putsmassor is a term sometimes used in the context of coin collecting and numismatics, particularly within online collecting communities. It generally refers to a collection of coins that are not of particularly high grade or rarity, but are instead acquired in bulk, often for their sheer quantity or as a means to fill in gaps in a collection. The term itself is a colloquialism and not a formal numismatic designation.

The acquisition of putsmassor can occur through various channels, such as purchasing large lots from estate sales, auctions, or from other collectors. Individuals might seek out these collections to find a few overlooked gems, to obtain common date coins for circulation finds, or simply to have a large number of coins to sort and organize. The value of a putsmassor is typically determined by the aggregate face value of the coins, with any additional premium being highly dependent on the potential for finding rarer items or coins in better condition than anticipated. It is important for collectors to approach such purchases with realistic expectations, as the majority of coins in a putsmassor are usually common and not of significant monetary value on their own.
