Just 6 hours before it's 2007 here, what are you goals for next year?

Dennis88 · December 31, 2006 2:03AM

Hello everyone,

It's 6 PM here right now, so....I wish all you people the best for the upcoming year, and hopefully will it be a succesfull one in both "normal" life

and coins

So what are your coin collecting goals for 2007. Although I haven't bought much coins this year, the 2 in my sig line are actually the only good ones, but off course I'm still collecting them. I have to admit that I don't post here that often anylonger, and somehow I feel very sorry about that

My main goal for this year is to finally add a pattern to my collection, and I hope that will be possible within a few months

. Offcourse, I've said it before, but hopefully I'm now more serious then ever.... Well at least since that spring of 2004, when patterns caught my eye, and they have remained my favourite part of US numsmatics to study ever since.

And offcourse, there are all other goals in live. I started a accountancy study this Septermber, and my goal is to completely finish the year before July. Not sure if that's possible, as it's the most difficult economics study there is, but I'm working very hard to make it, as it's my dream to get some work in the US and live there.

For you people who like to read my articles, there will be another (long) article published in the following few months. I've been working on that one for more then a year, and I hope all my hard work over the last year will be worth it

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Dennis

my collecting goals will be to get a "honest" 1807 and 1815 capped bust half.
the 1807 I have now has been messed with.

Dennis88 · December 31, 2006 2:20AM

Oh, and off course I have to add that I would finally visit the US to get to a coin show

Dennis

Swampboy · December 31, 2006 2:33AM

Happy New Year Dennis88,

Good luck with your goals for '07.
My goal is to get to a big coin show. Never been to one.

Russ · December 31, 2006 3:46AM

I have the same goals for 2007 that I had in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, and 2002. To nail a 1965 SMS Kennedy in DCAM. That's the goal, the fantasy is also the same - to nail an Accented Hair in PR69DCAM.

Russ, NCNE

stockergreen · December 31, 2006 3:47AM

I want some gold,some platinum,and a few carson city morgans.

seemyauction · December 31, 2006 3:49AM

I'm thinking this is the year I pony up and get nice unc examples of at least one or two of the major variety early Jeffersons -- the 39 ddr, the 43/2P, 49D/S, 54S/D, 55 D/S.

TwoSides2aCoin · December 31, 2006 5:19AM

Always the same:
To find a Boldly Detailed Tail Feathered 2001 P Sacagawea in a bank roll of small dollars. I'll let you know when I am successful.

fcloud · December 31, 2006 5:21AM

To just keep upgrading those dimes.

MrEureka · December 31, 2006 5:23AM

Simplify my life, narrow my collection, and resist the never-ending temptations to do just the opposite.

Midus1 · December 31, 2006 5:50AM

My goal is to get my Wheat Collection up to 80% without finding a 2nd job. Man, the early years are expensive!

53BKid · December 31, 2006 6:19AM

I hope to be able to afford a 1905 Lewis & Clark in 64.

halfnut · December 31, 2006 6:35AM

WOW 2007 already jezzzz I'm still getting over Y2K

, That being said My goal is to stay in the top 20 with my Circ Kennedy set with a few upgrades and add a coin or 2 to my Type set. I have sold off most everything else so not allot to add to except whats listed above. Good luck to everyone in your goals and have a safe New Year.

Dan

Baley · December 31, 2006 6:42AM

I have 2 big coins on my list (both pre-1807 type coins, one in silver, another in gold)
and maybe half a dozen upgrades of coins I'm not crazy about

Newcomp103 · December 31, 2006 7:10AM

Try to trade more coins to keep my collection "new" to me...and hopefully spend less money out of pocket than I did in 2006!

AnkurJ · December 31, 2006 8:12AM

Spend less with the US mint

And buy 1 ounce of gold every month (at least)
Ankur

granpagraf · December 31, 2006 8:27AM

My goal is to buy more Gold and have more Gold Graded and Slabbed!

coinmickey · December 31, 2006 8:50AM

My plan is to buy absoutely ZERO new coins and sell most of what I have....

Whether I am successful in either endeavor remains to be seen...

nankraut · December 31, 2006 9:46AM

My goal is to make it to next year. Many people won't, with only a few hr to go.

rcmlgm89 · December 31, 2006 9:55AM

To upgrade a few coins and to sell ALL of my extra slabs.
Happy New Year to everyone.

Ron

kryptonitecomics · December 31, 2006 9:59AM

To get through my divorce with my kids as unharmed as possible and then begin to build my new life without my soulmate............I don't know what the plan will be as far as coins since all that I own will be sold at the FUN show so I will be starting over with those as well.

CHEESEBURGER · December 31, 2006 11:48AM

my goal for 2007 is to complete my platinum proof collection and if there is a 10th anniversary platinum set to stockpile those.

MrEureka · December 23, 2007 5:37AM

So, how did we do?

I'll start.

Simplify my life, narrow my collection, and resist the never-ending temptations to do just the opposite.

Progress made, but not completely. I am once again a one man enterprise, and my collection has halved in size (but not value).

bidask · December 23, 2007 5:44AM

enjoy coins more, enjoy money less

lkenefic · December 23, 2007 5:50AM

well... I didn't finish either Lincolns or IHCs but I did get a decent start on a Dansco 7070...Leo

LanLord · December 23, 2007 5:55AM

I don't do new years resolutions, I find that there is so much wrong with me that I can find crap to work on every day of the year.

I have done a lot of personal, physical and spiritual rebuilding during the year. Lots of hiking, cycling, becoming one with nature and photography.

If there's one thing I enjoy more than coin collecting, it's nature photography. I never seem to have the ebbs and flows with photography.

Newcomp103 · December 23, 2007 5:57AM

<< Try to trade more coins to keep my collection "new" to me...and hopefully spend less money out of pocket than I did in 2006! >>

Well...I sold several certified coins and my entire raw Buffalo partially completed set....and when it is all said and done...I did spend less out of pocket....but I became a whole lot more picky and my "new to me" collection is super small at the moment!

fcloud · December 23, 2007 6:07AM

Upgraded two semi key dates on those Mercury Dimes, so I made the changes. Now, my set of Mercury Dimes are MS63 or higher with the only exception being the 1916-D which is AU50 and I am happy with that.

1926-S upgraded from MS61 to MS63FB
1927-D upgraded from MS61FB to MS65
1944 upgraded from MS65FB to MS66FB

Next year? I don't know if I have any plans...

Swampboy · December 23, 2007 6:17AM

I did not make it to a major coin show.

I was lucky enough to make it to 5 small shows; one of those was on the opposite coast.

I brought two of my YNs to a show and that was a fun experience I didn't even anticipate last year at this time.

BECOKA · December 23, 2007 6:36AM

Sold every coin but one that meant anything to me and started over. Also added two new series to what I collect.

Any regrets? Yep
Amy still happy? Yep

Half the fun is in the hunt anyway.

I finally did it!

So there is nothing left to look forward to in 2008.

Russ · December 23, 2007 7:16AM

I can still hunt upgrades, but the odds are rather long. Okay, now I'm depressed.

Well it took 6 years for your last goal. Just widen the range a bit. Maybe 10 years.

Russ · December 23, 2007 7:33AM

Or, I could win the Lotto between now and the Heritage FUN signature auction.
