I spent almost 700 and I though I was going overboard Please tell me you mean 7 hundred dollars, and not 7 hundred thousand. My new years resolution is to do a complete set of R MS 67 Lincolns cents. And when I fail to do that I'll settle for a VF B set. Also another resolution will be to learn more about this hobby, and share what I do know with others. That's what it's really all about I think.

Posts: 5,747 New Year's Resolutions. Such a tricky thing that I have become realistic. Last year it was to be meaner to other people at work. My reasoning? - I figured people would say "I can remember when clembo was a really nice guy". Honestly, I'm not really mean - sarcastic is a different story. Sooooo... this year's official CoinTalk resolution is (drum roll please)....to continue collecting coins. __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   11-21-2007, 10:46 AM   #13 (permalink) TheBigH Senior Member   Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 577 I will search at least $10,000 in coins and bills from the bank, and keep detailed records of all my 'keepers' (IE wheats, silver, pre-1960 nickels, pre-1982 pennies, errors, foreign, star notes, pre-1995 notes ($1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and maybe $100 if I can afford to keep it), and pre-1976 $2 bills. I will start keeping my detailed records the first time I roll or bill search after January 1st.   11-21-2007, 12:19 PM   #14 (permalink) coleguy Coin Collector     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: California Posts: 2,097 My Mood: I guess I resolve to just keep doing what I've always been doing, in regards to coin collecting, and thats just enjoy the hobby as I always have. As much as I'd like to say I'm going to buy better coins or spend a million dollars on a few coins I'd really like, thats not as important as keeping the status-quo. Maybe I'm just getting old and hate change...I don't know. Happy holidays!!
