    I am going to try and make it to one of the Baltimore shows.

    Anymore I go solely to meet up with some of you whackjobs and shoot the breeze.

    The possibility of getting a '68-D, '78-D, '88-D, '98-D, an '08-D dime in change. There aren't many series where you can get five identical coins from different decades.

    I'm looking forward to:
    1. Being able to take decent photos.
    2. Better orginizing/inventory
    3. Filling one or two more of the tougher IHC holes.

    ...to the state quarter program coming to an end and do we go back to the eagle-reverse,
    and all the buzz over what will happen with the 1c `next year`
    how likely is it we will get a new design that most of us will hate...

    I'm looking forward to all of the Baltimore shows, plus FUN and ANA (Summer). Also looking forward to seeing what cool coins come out for auction!

    A lot of stuff, starting in Long Beach in Feb. Look forward to seeing/bidding some of Leroy Van Allen's coins there and maybe fnally being in the same place as he is so we can chat. Wanna make a huge push in finishing up my Morgan book and set and getting it reviewed and edited. And I have a great idea to make VAMs possibly more popular with a startup thing probably in 2008. The one thing though would be having enough of an organized manuscript together to pass along to a handful of experts for qualified critiques.
