1) Add a few top notch examples to my Latin American type set, specifically the Carlos III and Carlos IV sets
2) Add a few cool coins to my World Coins in Ealry America’s set and poopularize the set further.
3) Build out my Mexican Repulbic 8R set
4) Avoid impulse purchases
5) Continue to buy and sell cool coins from Europe with a bit more discipline and a few more buying trips this year.
What are yours?

Same as probably every year. Sell and concentrate on one or two series. Seems to never happen.

I can't see further into the year than the NYINC.
My goal is to continue to be respectful and act honorably in all aspects of participating in this great hobby.

This past year, my goal was to acquire one coin from my "top tier" wantlist, knowing I'm after types which are tough to find.
Instead, I crossed 15 off of that wantlist.
For 2018, I will keep the same goal and I still have no expectation of exceeding it (but one can hope!)
I’ve got 7 pieces to go to complete a set of at least one piece for each minor denomination for each monarch in the British Milled Series ( Edward VIII excepted). I hope to get at least one in 2018. Two halfpennies, a sixpence , a shilling and three half crowns. Unfortunately I missed a great ipportunity to get half of them last year as by the time I found out about the availability’ of some top pieces, they had already sold .
Also two pieces to go to finish a set of at least one official Coronation Medal for each monarch in the milled series as well ( again ,ex Edward VIII).
I would like to acquire more gem cap n Ray 8 reales too.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Add more slabbed thai coins to my Thailand Custom Registry set.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Keep steady with the core Taler set. Buy outside the box when appropriate.

Avoid impulsive buying... good luck trying!
Buy quality coins at a reasonable price. Ops - busted already.
Always fun...will try and be semi-realistic.
So, nothing to much Some of these have been on the list a long time.
I will add my name to the list of those that will continue to work on the Mexican cap and rays 8R. I am working on a mintmark set and looking for eye appealing 63 and above coins. I know that will not be possible for a couple of the mints.
My goal is to continue to fill holes in this set: https://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/canadian-federation/canadian-complete-sets/canadian-coins-complete-set-varieties-circulation-strikes-1858-1952/alltimeset/3608
And enjoy watching you guys and gals post additions to your sets.

Once I recover from a house purchase and trade in my car, I'll hopefully be able to add a few early Anglo-Saxon British coins to the collection.
I also would like to sell a few duplicates and upgrade a few lower grade examples.
Attend NYINC and hopefully make some new friends.

Since this is my 10 year anniversary in the hobby (where does the time go?) I want to add something new and interesting to my collection every month of the year...without spending more than $10 (not counting shipping).
Realistically, it's not likely to happen. Being a low end collector is much harder than it might seem. So, I'll be happy if I can at least add some new (to me) interesting pieces to my collection. I've been kind of out of the hobby for a while and want to get back in.
2017 was a tipping point for me -- I bought 4 coins early in the year and sold 4 coins later. I imagine this happens to many collectors at some point. I feel that my collection has matured and I have crossed over into semi-retirement so I have put the brakes on overly enthusiastic hobby spending and will move towards more deaccession going forward.
However, I would like to add just a few more coins to my two Mexico City 8 reales sets ATS. If you have knowledge on the availability of:
1762MoMF, 1763MoMM, 1778/7MoFF or 1786/5MoFM
please let me know. There are a few more to really complete my sets but they just aren't realistic prospects.
