I had a great 2024 added way more coins than expected and now hoping 2025 will be a much slower year would be happy with 6-8 new coins. I do not have a big budget I am a small time coin collector so a slower year would great after going past budget in 2024.

    2 or 3 big ones depending on cash and who knows what else depending on availability.

    If I can even muster up an ounce of self control it will be 0️⃣

  • goldengolden Posts: 9,646 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If I can find 6 it would be great. The problem is finding them.

  • Mr_SpudMr_Spud Posts: 5,459 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Probably 3-5 big ones, and about 100 or so little ones

    Trying to put together an early dollar set so maybe 2. Just got one to close the year out.

    I don't really know, I'm kind of drawing a blank right now. I have an IHC set to finish but it's been on the back burner for about a year already. A few things pop into my head from day to day but I haven't felt a strong pull towards any one of them more than the others.

    If i could find any of the coins I am needing for my sets in 2025 I would be thrilled.

    I’m hoping 2025 reinvigorates my interest again. The second half of this year has really been void of anything coin related. Sold off all of my non-gold coins. Just keeping my pre-33 gold, some premium silver bars and my Dansco 7070 to work on when/if I get the itch again.

    I'd be happy with between 5 and 10 for my CBH collection if they were the right ones. Maybe a few others and a few pieces of currency too.

    Probably five or less, about what I did this year. I’m getting very picky in my old age.

    So far, I've added one or two (depending on how you count, since one of those two was purchased on December 30, and received this year; also, I don't count US MInt offerings that I buy to be "coins" like I consider the two that I'm counting to be "coins"). I may buy no more coins, or perhaps as many as two more coins, during this calendar year.

    I expect next year to be similar.

    More than I should and less than I want

    According to my better half the answer would be zero. Good thing she doesn’t really know what I am doing. 🙂

    Some items on my hit list:
    1795 flowing hair dollar (straight grade)
    Cc, c, d, gold pieces

    Given my current project - about 20-25. That will get me 2/3 the way to completeion.

    Exactly two. My coin collecting presently is filling the latest blue Whitman cent folder. I will find a nice 2025 and 2025D. My entire coin budget for 2025 will then be exhausted.

  • bestmrbestmr Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭

    I’d like 6 to finish my set and then work on something else but more than likely it’ll be 2-3.

    Optimism doesn't really cost anything, but availability and budget play their part. I will be very hopeful and say 10 or more. James

  • mirabelamirabela Posts: 5,028 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't know. There are eleven things still on my list. I started 2024 thinking I had the budget for one but some 90% I could dump advantageously if I wanted more. I wound up buying three great-for-me coins this year.

    I think 2025 will probably be about the same -- I expect I'll have the budget to spend outright for one, but if good opportunities present I could shed some bullion-related things to fund one or two more.

    My hope is that it’s more than what I sell. My wife thinks i should sell it all and go have fun.

    Let me add: it’s threads like this which make me miss actual “ collecting”.

  • ShurkeShurke Posts: 394 ✭✭✭✭

    So far I’ve added 7 coins this year.

    1 Indian quarter eagle.
    2 proof mercs.
    4 merc doubled die varieties.

    I’ll be looking for more of the same in 2025, so I would guess the next year’s newps will number somewhere in that same ballpark.

    I'd settle just to find the last 2 coins I need to finish my "Complete Dansco 7070 Modified Type Set (1796-Date)".

    Liberty Seated Half Dime Arrows (1853-55)
    Liberty Seated Quarter No Motto (1838-65)

    Finding the coins is not the problem as they are not rare. The problem is finding them in the right condition and looking the way I want them to look.

    Good eye, Donato. I acquired a Bay Bridge after I took that photo. And Ian is working on locating a Connecticut so it may actually be down to eight by 2025. Fingers crossed!

    Two:

    One to upgrade a brown Indian cent to a Red & Brown that’s mostly Red.

    The other is a below-the-radar 19th Century coin which is just plain rare in Mint State.

    Finding either in 2025 would make me a happy collector!

    It all depends on what shows up for sale. It's entirely unpredictable. I've bought 14 this year, but several are duplicates though not necessarily upgrades.

    None is all ways a goal. I have achieved that a few random years since 1979. But most every year something unexpected crosses my path.

    My annual goal really is NONE.

    There are many more important things for me to buy instead of coins. But item/items might pop up and I then may think I need it/them so I close the offer:
    Or Not, and then regret it or not when it goes elsewhere...

    That actually depends on who in our family is doing the coin shopping 😂
