My goal for the coming year is to survive the end of the world on 12/21/2012, don't know where I'll have to be to do that, but that's my stretch goal.
Another goal is to avoid the zombie apocalypse.
2012 portends to be a rough year, what with walking dead, galactic alignment, the dark star Wormwood swinging through the solar system and a presidential election!
1 or 2 really nice pieces - "eye candy" - no particular series or period in mind.
"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity." (Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. (Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko.
I would love to be able to buy several Naftzger Middle Date and Late Date Large Cents that I missed out on the first time around. Would also like to continue to chase superb colorful Gem Proof Indian Cents and Gem Proof and Mint State Type Coins.

I would like to find halves for at least ten of the thirty years I have not filled yet. Would also like to get my short set of Walkers up MS64 Minimum grade. Couple of the keys might be very hard to do as in costly.
To continue to learn colonials better, buy some of the important auction catalogs . There are a few pieces I'd like to buy but they may not come on the market this next year
I have two coin-related goals for the coming year: 1) add a few circulated coins to my type collection 2) add a chain cent to my 1793 large cent collection
EAC member since 2011, one third of the way through my 1793 large cent type set
I say it all the time every year but I walk in a BM and it's all over like a kid in a candy store. So I'll say it but it will not happen like get my some day box graded ya right it only get's bigger Life go's on.
Add some more George III patterns to my set, and maybe a few upgrades to existing sets. I'm not planning on starting anything new since I already collect to many different areas.
Are you planning on adding to your existing collection?
Do you plan to start a new series?
Upgrade?
Yes.
No.
No and Yes. If anything shows up in higher grade, I'll upgrade. If not, there's one coin that would definitely compliment my set that I would love buy... provided that I have the funds to buy it...
Unfortunately, I did not succeed in accomplishing my numismatic goal for 2011 so this years goal remains the same; to find a suitable 1918-S, 1921-S, or 1924-S Buffalo nickel in PCGS MS63 or 64.
Are you planning on adding to your existing collection? Yes. Have been checking off a coin or two or three in my Lincoln wheat set.
Do you plan to start a new series? Possible. Every series I would like to do includes multiple coins that are huge (to me) money. So, probably not. Probably start a true XF Wheat set (no problem coins).
Upgrade? If opportunity knocks and I have cash available (these never coincide with each other)

No.
Maybe.

my main goal is to try and not go broke doing the "yes's".

Yes
Don't plan on it, but you never know.
There is always room for upgrades.
No.
Yes.
I want to get done the Merc dimes from '35 to present in 64FB or better... most dates being 65-66FB, only a couple of the pricier ones being 64...

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
2) Get some of the 40-50 dimes I have that need graded and/or attributed to PCGS and into my sets.
as a minimum
double the quality and diversity
.
Getting a little tougher now though
