I guess you would have to basically start here, but the number in total probably is not correct, since some makers have no known coin addresses etc.

Edit - sounds like a daunting task - GL!

[Kazkaz27]

Thank you! very helpful link 

[minerjones]

Looking at the list, there are definitely a few more makers missing.
A good resource that may take a little time is to just start at the earliest Collectibles threads and go page by page....
There have been quite a few notable and infamous makers over the years who are not on your list.
Will hopefully have time to update this next week.

If you don't have a copy of the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins, it is a good place to start

Thank you MJ. I appreciate the support. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy. This will be a work in progress for some time.

Wow! That's awesome. Ill put it to good use

You can see a list of all the makers I've added to the coin wiki here: https://wiki.coin.community/Category:Maker

It's not a complete list by far, but it will have some you're missing.

[wheelz1200]

You quite possibly will never get the true estimate.  Lots of makers have made prototypes or weren't for public release and unknown as to how many of a certain coin has been made.  I applaud your effort and would be interested in seeing the depth of coins from some makers.  I can try to tally up how many I've made over the years.

I agree. I'll attempt to get as true of an estimate as I can here. It will take some time and some doing but It will be a good guide into the future if completed and maintained. I appreciate all your help  

[Steeley]

I have a spreadsheet of all makers, their data, and sales for the past three years. If I count using this data then the answer is approximately 561,670.

However, there are a lot of holes which include: 1. the creators actually do not know how many they made or they do not want to publish the data. 2. Creators that did not set a mintage but just mint on demand. 3. What is actually qualified as a physical bitcoin (for example, do you count Coined Bits, Anonymous Mint, Silver Shields - they may mint unlimited amounts of these rounds forever)?

For the NastyFans Minted Seats you should probably use the source data instead of linking to a 3rd party website.  Here's the actual source data link if you wanted it: https://nastyfans.org/mint.json

Relatively recent maker Doblebit missing from your list:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5435923.0

Created these Freedom DIY's as well as some really cool mask collectables with keys.

[seavodin]

Mopar, you have coins? Any link to them so i can take a look?

Mopar, you have coins? Any link to them so i can take a look?

they were poker chips actually. 100 sets of 5 chips and then 100 sets of 2 chips (error colors from the set of 5)
and then I made the pepe flyer coins as a commission for minerjones

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284106.0 - for the set of 5

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403370.0 - for the set of 2

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472634.0 - for the pepe flyer coins

I do need to do some more and do something creative. The fiat job consumes too much of my time - need that 1 million USD BTC then I can walk away lol

[seavodin]

Thats awesome! I'm a big fan of the poker chip style myself
You need to grab a high power laser like Mojo and start engraving some coins, that would be a fun endeavor.
Hopefully we reach that 1 million mark in the next couple of cycles-
I'm currently working two engineering jobs and would love to focus on some passion projects.

I have 3 lasers atm but none are strong enough to engrave metal - mark em, sure - cut em, nah.

[minerjones]

A good resource for different makers and address lists are my master maker thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2022902.0
Should have time this week to check your list and hopefully add something new
