Numismatic Goals For 2011

AuroraBorealis

Happy New Year everyone... What would be some of your numismatic goals for the new year?
One of mine would be to go to my first coin show...Any ideas which one would be cool to do?

AB

BBN

after purchasing an early dollar recently my numismatic goal is to save the money to buy a pcgs mint state seated dollar which means that will probably be the only coin I buy in 2011.

MrD

I would say the FUN show would be my #1 choice (which I am attending).

SkyMan

FUN would work for you AB as you might actually get to see above freezing temperatures in January.

Numismatic goals huh? Maybe sell a Morgan or two to this collector I know North of the Border.

Other than that, I've got my eyes on a nice proof Barber 10c or 25c from 1893, or a nice business strike (non-gold) coin from 1858. Of course an upgrade or two to my toner Franklin collection would be nice.

If you've never been to a show before, I think you should start out with a smaller local show. Would give you an idea of how things are, but wouldn't overwhelm you like some of the big shows.

For 2011 I'd like to add a few more of the harder to find varieties to my 1909 Mint Set, hopefully a few of them come out of the woodwork!!!

Numismatic Goals For 2011

I do not set goals... it is a hobby, meant to be enjoyed, relaxing and, at times, exciting. Goals are for work or dieters. Cheers, RickO

My goal is to find one outrageously toned Morgan.
Sort of like the OP's avatar.

drei3ree

To complete my herd at 70% of greysheet!

DRUNNER

Find a 2C., 3CN, or 3CS in a Doily !!!!!!!!!!!!

. . . and buy it for 10% back of sheet.

Uh huh.

i think the main goal right now is a job ( great economy i know ) then go after some bust half stuff.

This is the year in which I'm going to take care of some unfinished business:

1) Get a problem-free, well-circulated '32-S to finish the Whitman album ('32 to '64 Washington quarters) that I started working on from change in 1964;
2) Get six problem-free, circulated coins to finish the earlier of the two Whitman albums I started working on from change in 1967;
3) Make some serious headway on my recently begun circulated and BU Franklin albums--aiming to fill most of the circulated album with coins from "junk silver" trades; and
4) Get back to making some progress on the "tough twenty" in my Merc registry set. Two or three nice additions here would make 2011 a very successful year.

This may be too ambitious for a guy of moderate means with twin daughters attending a private university and a son in law school , but it helps to have specific goals in writing.

Teva

I have a box of twenty that I am going to send to auction.
I have been planing on doing this for several months and have done my homework. No guts no glory

Good Goal!!


I have two: (1) Find another Wiener medal case (or three...) and (2) Work on upgrading the seated dollars.
