    I guess I'll buy the MS W Plat in 1/4 ounce. I was going to wait but with metels going up I don't want it to be revised like the gold was.

    My goal is to obtain the King of Siam set.

    I set high goals and never fret when they don't come to be, but it's always fun to dream.

    I'm trying to get rid of a hoard . image and some of these silver pieces are really decent coins , but they're widgets image

    What is a roll of AU/BU 1949 D Roosevelt dimes worth ? I haven't opened them, it just says that on the outside roll.

    Wow, I usually do not have a "numismatic goal of the week", but this will be a big week for me.

    I am presenting a coin seminar on PL and DMPL Morgans for my coin club tomorrow. After nearly 3 years, it will be my last coin meeting with the Frederick coin club because I am moving to South Carolina. It will be the last time I preside as president for the club. It is sad to be leaving, but I must move for a new job. The good new is the club will be in good hands with the new president Rick who is also on the PCGS message board.

    My goal this week is to get out detecting for the first time since spring, and hopefully dig an Indian cent or Barber dime again. Or some early Wheaties, even. Heck, anything moderately interesting, numismatic or not.

    I accomplished part of my goals last week.
    I spent the latter part of the week opening some rolls and picking out some better widgets to put in 2"x2" cardboard flips. (Roosevelt dimes)
    Then I listed some stuff on ebay , even opened a store. ... for next week, I hope to submit 8 coins to PCGS and a couple of "mechanical errors" that I'm sure PCGS will happily fix, and am hoping to add a Gold coin to my registry set. (when it arrives, I'll post it here)...
    So what are your Numismatic goals for the week of September 24th, 2007 ?

    Find another half dollar.
  • The week of the 17th is nearly over.

    At midweek I took every coin I own to a local dealer for the purpose of selling my collection.

    So now I am just sitting and waiting for an offer. He said he'd be in touch by Friday the 28th.

    If his offer is acceptable I can pick up the check the same day or come get the coins the next day.
    GO AHEAD! I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU TO RATE ME A 1!

    You are getting rid of all of them ? I didn't see mention of what you're selling, but I can't keep up with everyone.

    Finish my periodic re-examination and re-evaluation of my Lincoln set, and updating the inventory list as needed. I made a bunch of low-dollar ($2-20) acquisitions a few months ago to upgrade the 34-58 short set and haven't had the chance to add them in or take a good long look at the whole set since.

    Kookaburras! That's a fun set to build. I was trying to get all of the kangaroos but was getting frusterated 'cause I didn't want to deal with sellers in Australia.
