Numismatic New Year's Resolutions!!! What's yours?

TonedPeaceNut

Okay -- I know we haven't even got past Christmas yet, but that's no reason not to consider what you will or won't do numismatically in 2005.

So I'll start --

In 2005 I resolve to photograph my entire collection and build a website to display all of the pics.

I resolve to hunt deep cameo early date Kennedy Halves.

PS: And, pick them off cheap.

Now that I've got a digital camera and pics on the computer, learn to get them to the forum and really become part of the group.

Russ and Marty have both gone nuts !

As for me ?

No more 4th tier slabs !

No more EBAY coins in the RAW (unless they look like rips,ala, Marty and Russ)

Hit more shows !

"Hit more shows" here too. Buy more high quality coins.

Sell off some coins that don't fit into my collection and buy ones that do. And to take more time in finding the right coins to fit what I'm trying to do. And that is to build a nice quality (but economically feasible) non-gold type set of US coins.

since at work i give 110% maybe this year ill try for 120%. i can normally do the work of my position and the asst. manager's job at the same time. my store manager thinks im nuts but i think its multi tasking. anyway since dad came back home from the hospital i think im gonna resolute to do more aroudn the house and help out even more than i have in the past. he isnt getting younger so maybe its a good time to do what i can to make his life a little easier. and finally this year now that i ahve my new girlfriend i think its only fair that i work even harder this year to make her the happiest girl in the world. and keep her parents happy with me

To hone my grading skills and my ability to detect and identify problem coins.
To buy more coins, while still remaining cautious. (don't know if that's possible)

Mistercoinman

To streamline my collection by refining my goals, and buying higher graded coins.

Upgrade at least 3 coins in my Morgan set.

To find as many of these "fugly, coffee stained, nasty and sickly looking" 1938-1942 Jeffersons as I can find (I call them fully original undipped cello toned, and I don't see many around). Like the one below - everyone hated it and said so quite verbally - except for a very few PM's (1 from a guy who has a TOP Jeff Proof 5c set) that said "follow your course and don't listen to the white/dipped crowd" or words to that effect. I love my 5c ....and all my 10c too.


Comments: Sharply struck Brilliant Gem Proof 65. Displays deeply mirrored surfaces, few very minor scattered light hairlines and multi-colored heavy toning from long term storage in original cellophane packaging. Mintage 18,720 Pop 537/522 Designer: Felix Schlag. Purchased from David Lawrence Rare Coins.

Best,
Billy

Get to 85% on my Kennedy set, upgrade the 3 Kennedys in 65 to 66, add a few coins to my type set. Take my oldest son to a major show ( he's older then you think), looking to go to the spring Baltimore if I get back from our upcoming counter drug ops deployment in time, if not will look at the summer show, and lastly start selling off a few dansco albums that I have finished.
