    I want to keep doing it... in whatever direction it goes.
    When in doubt, don't.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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)
