2) to complete my AH1281 Tunisia Kharub copper set (only missing one!)
3) to finish acquiring all the remaining pieces for my OFEC which are under $1k/each. Very close! The ones over $1k will have to wait a little longer.

2- Obtain reference material on this country
3- Work on my photography skills. I see so many beautiful coins here.
I would like to be able to post comparable pics.
It seems funny being so focused. But these sets are something I want to
finish and who knows where my interests will go after that.

Virtus Collection - Renaissance and Baroque Medals
I need Caligula, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian, however they have to be attractive pieces, I'm not going to buy a Caligula just for the sake of having one, I think he's going to be the toughest

Boz, in coin terms you're a modern!!!
My collecting goal for this year is not to sell too many coins because I have 2 major trips coming up - one to climb Kilimanjaro in August and the other one to visit my aunt in St. Petersburg in the fall / early winter. Together those trips are more than my usual numismatic budget for the year, but knowing myself, i'll probably be posting NEWP's relatively soon

May I only continue to buy what I like when I see it and deal with the consequences afterwards...

Tom, you are quite a comedian.

Living dangerously! Good for you. I hope to be able to do that someday.

So you feel the need to have the denarius of his? I collect on a tight budget & tend to like having a bit of variety other then denarii. I have caligula, tiberius and claudius in bronze & I am thinking of skipping otho in denarius and going for a tetradrachm, but not sure. Part of me wants to ditch my vespasian denarius for a tetradrachm too.

I quite like the denarii but there's no way I can do that set in all denarii, my Claudius is a bronze As that I'm pretty happy with and my Nero is represented with an Alexandria Tetradrachm
I like your Caligula, it's not the often seen VESTA issue
I liked the caligula alot too. Best of all it was in $63, ebay win. The Claudius is my favorite even though the portrait isnt strong. Seems to be only 2 or 3 of existence of the type.

At least one addition to my 1910-14 Mexico Caballito peso set.
<< <i>I have 2 major trips coming up - one to climb Kilimanjaro in August >>
I'll be climbing Kilimanjaro in August as well! And then seeing the Selous reserve and Zanzibar.
My collecting goal is classified though, so I don't tip my hand.
<< <i>(1) To sell off, or giveaway, all the coins that don't fit into my current collecting realm.
(2) To only buy coins that fall into my current collecting realm. >>
What is your current collecting realm? I've been trying to figure out your previous collecting realms for ten years now, and I still can't get it.
More banknotes for me, more seriously this time, preferably PMG graded.

<< <i>Classified? Wow, I've not heard that one before. OK, that's cool. I respect that. So how many years must pass before it becomes declassified by the Freedom of Information Act? >>
Hah. My real collecting goal is my first nation (and continent) highpoint. I have 42 of the US states, and some from Canada and Mexico.
But as for numismatics, hmm, snag any rare items that I might come across if they fit my collection. That's not much less vague than 'classified' though
try complete notgeld collection
Specific goals ...
1. Add a medieval England or Ireland Hiberno-Norse coin
2. Add one or two Venetian Ducats or Zecchinos
3. Add 10 more German States coins
4. Add 3 more Swiss Canton coins

<< <i>So how many years must pass before it becomes declassified by the Freedom of Information Act? >>
Now unclassified, but not really happily...
My #1 goal was probably to add some notes from banks that financed the University of Texas (where I went to school). I have one from the banks of G. W. Brackenridge and G. W. Littlefield. I don't have any from banks of William McDonald, who (to the annoyance of his family) donated his estate to found the astronomy observatory, now built in west Texas. McDonald founded two banks, the rarer one is the First National bank of Cooper. I hadn't seen any for sale but FUN had one up today, so I didn't want to tip my hand Sadly, my bid of twice the high estimate was not good enough
Otherwise there isn't anything rare I am really looking for, so with Kilimanjaro coming up for me, I'll be saving my powder this year mostly.
