Anyone else decided to start a new series in 2011?

I have toyed around with Liberty Seated Halves in the past having acquired about a dozen nice examples. But this year I plan on making them a focus. VF-AU will be my target. And I will be cherry picking for the WB varieties.

    Draped Bust Halves. Not including 1796 or 1797.
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    I'm committing to finishing the sets already in motion! Most of what I want are individual coins... One each from Charlotte and Dahlonega, a Classic $2.50 or $5, and a 1911-D $2.50. I'll be lucky if I can get half of those, unless I gut my current collection or get nothing else in 2011. I expect to finish my 12 coin gold type set soon; I'm one coin away, and it's not even a hard one. I also want to finish my Peace dollar set.

    Looks like we will be shopping the same place as I was able to fill all the Barber dates except one this year.
    But I'm just doing a date set at this time.

    I'm still plugging ahead on my seated halves date set (raw in VG condition,) but I've decided to start a second set in 2011. I'll be doing a certified quarter type set. Here's how I'm defining it:

    1. Draped Bust (large eagle)
    2. Capped Bust (large)
    3. Capped Bust (small)
    4. Seated Liberty (no motto...probably arrow & rays)
    5. Seated Liberty (motto)
    6. Barber
    7. Standing Liberty (type 1)
    8. Standing Liberty (type 2/3)
    9. Washington (1932-1964)
    10. Washington (bicentennial)

    That's it. I want to keep it small, so that I will be able to be patient enough to find REALLY nice examples of each.

    No... I have enough with the series I already collect. Cheers, RickO

    Not until I finish my current series. Spending funds on a new series will only delay/prevent me from accomplishing my current numismatic goals.

    No, still doing my pinball impression, bouncing around looking for eye candy in any series. image

    My biggest problem I have found with this series is that every attractive coin I have found is one of a handful of dates. 1853, 1858, 1877

    Nope, sticking with the type set for now.
