    2. Become a Lieutenant of my Police Explorer Post (#32).

    3. Make myself known in the hobby and hopefully snag another internship.

  • Unfortuneately, spend alot less on coins. But the upside is I will buy some more books and hopefully acquire more knowledge.

    Hey! Let's try to keep it clean here! image

    I'm going to keep filling the voids in my proof Kennedy set, and keep buying other coins that catch my eye (which slows down my efforts to fill the voids in my proof Kennedy set).

  • LucyBop, what whould this place be like if you became very shy, timid, and soft spoken? i don't think i would have any reason to come and post here anymore.
  • ...write something so funny, so gut-busting, so chuckle inducing, that even The Most Serious Numismatist In The World... will have the corner of his mouth twitch, just a little.

    No, Clank. You only get a moderate grunt for approval. A slightly higher pitched grunt for genuine appreciation. image


  • << <i>You only get a moderate grunt for approval. A slightly higher pitched grunt for genuine appreciation. >>



    By God, I think you've hit on something here, Neil. A whole new grading system based on "gruntage." MS-63 will equal "moderate grunt of approval, 65- "slightly higher pitched grunt, and 67 & up- "major gruntage/ultimate grunt."

    I award your idea a major grunt.

    1. Finish my thesis and get a job (underlying motive here is I can spend more money on coins then).
    2. Attend a coin show.
    3. Buy a 1931-S Lincoln for my set.
    4. Buy both 1932-D and 1932-S Washington quarters to complete that set finally.

    5. Spend less time sitting at the computer surfing through auctions, reading meaningless threads.
  • 09sVDB09sVDB Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭
    Complete my Washington Quarter set(about five dates left) and get 10/20 of mt most wanted list. This could be tough though because as some of you have mentioned, every coin I buy cost double because I have to justify iy to the wife!
