What is your coin collecting goal in 2004?

jcping · December 12, 2003 8:22AM

I would like to finish my seated liberty coins that are needed for my 1792-1964 type set.

DAM · December 12, 2003 8:46AM

Not to spend as much money as I did the past 2 years.

My Registry goals:

To improve on my Circ Type Sets and work on a couple of new sets. For one, I started a Proof Kennedy Short Set to stay in Russ's good graces.

I may also add a Washington Quarter 32-64 set across the street. I've already got a few in their holders and don't feel like playing the cross game to add it here.

There are going to be a few new Type Sets added to the Registry. I'll probably dabble in those too.

My collecting goals:

Collect as I have in the past and look for the coin that soots my eyes and needs. Coin shops, local auctions, local coin shows, and what ever else pops up.

Russ · December 12, 2003 8:55AM

I really, really want to find some DCAM SMS coins for my Proof Kennedy Short Set.
Would like to finish my Two Cent Piece set, but more likely it'll be all but the 1872.

My other goal is a secret.

Russ, NCNE

Fairlaneman · December 12, 2003 9:03AM

Same as last year and this year.....get a 21P or 21D Merc Dime in atleast MS63. Two chances were had this year but I guess a cheap son of a gun never gets the coin.

A couple of upgrades would work out nicely also.

Nice toned raw Roosies and Washingtons will be purchased if they can be found.

1. Try to make a pop-1 MS67FB Roosevelt dime.....there are still 3 dates for which a silver MS67FB doesn't exist: 57P, 58P, and 63P.

2. Work on my 1792-1964 type set and get it 50% complete. Continue to learn more about US coinage.

Wondo · December 12, 2003 9:08AM

Complete my 20th century Liberty Double Eagle Set.

Whitewashqtr · December 12, 2003 11:15AM

Finally complete my Washington silver set. One coin to go!! I would be complete from 1932-1998!!

dpoole · December 12, 2003 11:24AM

Catch my breath. And then figure out what I want to do next.

Bubblehead · December 12, 2003 12:53PM

I would like to find a $50 Oct Pan-Pac that I can afford.
Guess what?
Oh well, there's always 2005....6,...7,...

lazeroo · December 12, 2003 12:58PM

to get out of collecting coins,

and into collecting um? money?

LincolnCentMan · December 12, 2003 1:21PM

I'd like to complete my MS Lincoln Set. I've still got about 20% to go. I do have the 14-D and SVDB knocked out, though.

David

FrattLaw · December 12, 2003 1:50PM

Complete my toned Peace $ set! I need the 26-D, 27-D, 28 and 34-S (MS only) PM me if you got one!

And finally buy a digital camera that I can take some nice pics with!

Michael

jacktheknife · December 12, 2003 2:27PM

Just keep hammering on the Lincolns. I figure I've got about three more years before my set will be complete.

RELLA · December 12, 2003 2:35PM

To stop making it harder (well maybe not harder but more frustrating) for JTK to realize his goal.

Guess that's not a collecting goal, at least not for me. For me...to add at least one coin to my collection. Think I can manage?

RELLA

Cocoinut · December 12, 2003 2:54PM

I want to find 5 of the 6 Mercs I need to complete my set, leaving only the '16-D for 2005(?). I also want to add to my 1933-1947 Walker set, and buy a couple type coins.

Like Russ, I have a "secret set" that I hope to unveil early in 2004, but I need one coin to complete it.

Jim

coolkarma · December 12, 2003 4:09PM

Add or upgrade one coin for each of my major sets (uncirculated Mercs, Buffalos; proof wheat ear Lincolns, Jeffersons, and Walkers).
Sell some of my duplicates (triplicates, quads...).
Focus my coin collecting better.
Like FrattLaw, buy and learn to use a digital camera to take nice coin pictures.

This sounds too much like New Year's resolutions

egsantos · December 13, 2003 12:24AM

I need find a 2000 Kennedy Proof Clad PR70DCAM and convince EBL III to sell his 1969.
Easy?

Edson

coincollector1989 · December 13, 2003 12:40AM

I would like to finish my Kennedy Set and start a Franklin Set.

Wingsrule · December 13, 2003 12:41AM

Complete the goals I set in 2003 that I haven't accomplished yet!

CarlWohlforth · December 13, 2003 12:44AM

I would like to add two coins to my type set. If I find the right 1866 nickel with rays I will have all the nickel types. I recently completed all the small cent types. So I guess I will join jcping in looking for a seated type coin.

Typetone · December 13, 2003 1:14AM

Continue to selectively build and improve my type, proof Franklin, and liberty 5c sets.

Greg

Stooge · December 13, 2003 4:28AM

I'm going to continue on my Silver and Clad Roosie sets in FB's and also try and add to my 1968-date Prrof set.

Merry X-mas,
Paul B. Gunsallus

USMC_6115 · December 13, 2003 4:39AM

To move up at least two notches on my Eisenhower Registry Set

and,

To finish my Gold Type Set

and,

To spend a WHOLE lot less than this year!

khayse · December 13, 2003 4:50AM

Same as last year: 1929-S Walker in MS64, 1916-S Walker in 63 or 64.

-Khayse

cosmicdebris · December 13, 2003 5:06AM

Get David Lawrence to start selling Darkside stuff.

oreville · December 13, 2003 7:22AM

Find that MS-67 1907 HR St Gaudens that I have had on my wish list since 1960. Of course then it was called extrordinary Uncirculated.

But dang, they are hard to find........in circulation.

RELLA · December 13, 2003 7:26AM

oreville,

A handy tip: don't just strick to the change you receive. Also check the take-a-penny leave-a-penny and look on the floor in front of the counter.

RELLA

oreville · December 13, 2003 7:31AM

Rella: Thanks!

My second goal is to convince this chap to take up coin collecting!

tradedollarnut · December 13, 2003 7:43AM

To buy at least one really cool coin......

itsnotjustme · December 13, 2003 8:05AM

Purchase 12 coins for my 1792-1964 CNS Type Set
Sell coins to offset my purchases
Reduce the bulk of my collection by selling off raw coins and coins not needed in my sets
Slab high grade examples of both new nickels

Nic · December 13, 2003 8:28AM

To be as lucky as I was this year ... 5 keepers for my collection. K

GRANDAM · December 13, 2003 11:43AM

I would like to move up at least one spot in the IKE Dollar Varieties Set. I am currently #5.

shirohniichan · December 13, 2003 4:51PM

I want to double the size of my Newfoundland 50 cent registry.

Mistercoinman · December 14, 2003 9:02AM

I would like to complete the entire Roosey set 1946-2003 and try to get into the top ten combined set. Thats in Full Bands of course. I would also like to make a Pop 1 coin myself!!!

XpipedreamR · December 14, 2003 9:11AM

The same as one of my goals in the rest of my life...to actually learn from my mistakes

mdwoods · December 14, 2003 11:08AM

To learn about Condor tokens.

segoja · December 15, 2003 10:08AM

JC,

Great Thread.

My goal is to stay a coin or two ahead of you in the Ike set!!!!

Like to make at least one MS69 Ike (Silver) and add two MS67 clads to the set!

fcloud · December 15, 2003 10:38AM

It would be nice to be able to complete the Mercury Dimes.

I still need 1919-s, 1924-s, 1925-d, 1925-s, and 1927-s. Then I would like to upgrade the 1916-d, 1921, and 1921-d.

I would like to upgrade the Kennedy 1964-1970-S proof and SMS short set, too.

jcping · December 15, 2003 11:21AM

> My goal is to stay a coin or two ahead of you in the Ike set!!!!

James, you are three coins ahead of me now. You are very safe

segoja · December 15, 2003 11:47AM

JC,

You never know. I'll only be safe when I have all the clads in highest grade. I know you and I won't ever be after the MS69 silver at today's numbers.

wondercoin · December 15, 2003 11:51AM

The 72(s) Ike in PCGS-MS69 appears in the Heritage FUN sale - it will be interesting to see what that does, considering the 74(s) commanded nearly $10,000 when it sold earlier this year at Heritage.

Wondercoin.

segoja · December 15, 2003 12:54PM

Mitch,

Post us a link!

Is that your coin????

Thanks!

James

wondercoin · December 15, 2003 12:57PM

No interest in posting a link - just wanted to mention the coin. I also understand there is another example for sale at DLRC, unless it has sold already.

Finally, I completed my 2004 goal though it is 9 months late

Did you fulfill your 2004 goal???

GRANDAM · September 22, 2005 7:23PM

<< Did you fulfill your 2004 goal??? >>

"My Goal was"

<< I would like to move up at least one spot in the IKE Dollar Varieties Set. I am currently #5. >>

Well, I did for a short time. Then was bumped down and then moved back up again. Currently tied for #5. I hope to move up a spot real soon!!!!!

garsmith · September 22, 2005 11:52PM

To get or make a 1934-S Peace Dollar in MS62 or higher grade.

To get an 1981-S Type II SBA Dollar in PR70.

and to keep adding to and upgrding my various registry sets.

Russ · September 23, 2005 3:34AM

Cool blast from the past!

<< Did you fulfill your 2004 goal??? >>

My goals were:

<< I really, really want to find some DCAM SMS coins for my Proof Kennedy Short Set.
Would like to finish my Two Cent Piece set, but more likely it'll be all but the 1872. >>

I was able to nail two of the three SMS coins in DCAM. Still trying to hunt down the 1965. Sold the Two Cent Piece set.

lordmarcovan · September 23, 2005 6:19AM

<< To learn about Condor tokens. >>

Hopefully Woodie learned how to spell the word, at least.

(Condor= a carrion eating bird. Conder= the tokens.)

What is your coin collecting goal in 2004?
