Goal for 2013

Senex

Finish my Canadian dollar set.
I have all the dates in the classic era (1935-1967), many post-67 nickel and silver dollars and a few Loonies.
This year I want to at least finish to nickel $ series and the Loonies.

Your goal sounds fairly doable to me. Unless you expect to obtain certified MS65 and up.

There are a couple of sellers on eBay that sell nickel dollar sets. That's how I finished mine but many of the coins are MS62/63 quality and not worth certifying.

The 2013 Charlton Catalogue has a special section on nickel dollar varieties. I think some are bogus varieties but there are a lot that would be challenging to obtain.

Good luck in the hunt.

ps: my goal this year is to finish my Geo VI set: 1951 HR 5c; 1947 dot 25c; 1951 LR 25c; 1952 HR 25c; and a 1947 ML CR 50c.

My goal for the nickel dollars and loonies is to find nice MS64 or SP65 and above specimens at a good price.
I'm in no hurry and can wait for the right ones to come along.
I've got the new Charlton but I won't be looking for the varieties (yet!).
Most of my Canada dollars are ICCS certified and I often wonder if they would cross over with our hosts.
Good luck or the George VI set!
