    Get the dimes completed, and get started on upgrades (or a mix of both).

    I will buy only fantastic coins pedigreed to famous collections. At least that way I know where they've been.

    Get the rest of my coins photgraphed so all can see them. It is time to get these coins out of hiding.

    I promise a real treat in 2004 including some great Canadian coins for the darksiders.

    1) Work on getting my collection scanned and posted.
    2) Send in raw coins to be holdered.
    3) Locate more AU55-58 Barber Halves. ( Missing 1901-S especially).
    4) Find the elusive 1927-S SLQ with a decent strike without FH designation...MS 64-66.
    5) Last, but not least, locate a very choice AU 1901-S quarter ( AU53-58) to complete my set.

    1. Continue to help YN's gain knowledge about coins and their history, care and correct preservation while helping them grow their collections.

    2. Do the same with some "oldtimers" that are tired of buying coins and finding out that they got hosed.

    3. Continue my education for my own benefit as well as those that I can help.

    4. Expand and upgrade my own sets/collection - no specific goals here - as opportunity and funding allow.



    Those of you that can, keep sharing your knowledge here. It goes farther than many of you may realize.

    1) Complete my Whitman set of Franklins and 41 thru 74 Lincolns
    2) Add a few more pieces to my slabbed set of MS/Circ Peace Dollar and PR69DCAM Ike set ( as money allows since it looks to be a money tight year for me coming up ).

    Those are my two primary goals. image

    To finish selling off almost all of my collection to buy 2 or 3 high end coins, for which I blame some of you here. Had I not seen some of the pics here, I may have never gotten the bug. Not sure what I'll get, but I love the look of end-roll toning, and MS and proof Indians.

    1. Watch more Coin Vault and practice huckster selling with a deep Tennessee accent.
    2. To help the US Mint unload overpriced rolls with fancy wrappers.
    3. Learn how to bake coins inside potatoes for that special toning.
    4. Figure out the difference between MS 67 and MS68.
    5. Avoid buying raw coins on the Baye of Eeee no matter how good they look.
    6. Buy every B. Max Mehl catalog for each year he was in business and learn how to properly forge his signature.
    7. Study every post on this forum to increase my numismatic acumen.
    8. Learn how to grade old gold.
    9. Discover a shipwreck with a humongous trunk filled with previously believed rare, rare, rare double eagles, not tell anybody, and sell one a year for the next 50 years.
    10. Live to be 104 so I can do #9.

    It sure was, Andy. In fact, it was (apparently) inevitable that someone would ask early.image

    Work more on my dansco 7070 type set and complete my Peace dollar set. I'd also like to get my first gold coin that isn't bullion or darkside of which I have a couple. Of course when I get that gold coin I'll have to buy the supplement gold page for the 7070, luckily one of the local shops has that page for $2.
