What walking Liberty half are you missing? The 21-D?

 

Finish my Peace Dollar registry set - which now by the way is in the Top 50 - page 1.

My latest acquisition (and can't stop looking at it!)

 

A 1972 type 2 Ike in ms65

 

I am planning to complete my US Dollar sets by design. I currently have the following

• Ike Dollar (1776-1976)
• Ike Dollar (1971)
• Susan B Anthony Dollars (1980's)
• Some of the circulating Native American Dollars
• Many of the circulating Presidential Dollars

I am thinking of adding Peace, Morgans, Trade without spending a fortune

 

Depending on the grades you're looking for it should not be too much trouble.

 

I recently completed a walking Liberty half date and mint mark set. It took several years and was my first attempt to complete a set other than some of the more modern stuff. As I don't have anything else that interests me except for proof ASEs and Burnished ASEs, I will probably do a lot of reading.

 

Actually not missing any. I do want to upgrade my 1934 S from VF to an XF45 or AU.

 

Cherrypick a 1794 Bust $1/2.

 

Let me know if I can help with anything ...

 

well I just decided to begin collecting some older paper bills and trying to learn to avoid making mistakes. I never realized it was so expensive. I also have a desire to get some bullion as well mostly silver and a little bit of gold if all works out ok.
BTM

 

Most of the classic sets I collect are complete, so these days, it's try to keep up with all the new "great deals" the U.S. Mint issues.

 

I think I will be able to possibly finish my Jefferson Nickel collection in the next couple years. That would please me. Means I will have to buy a few, though instead of getting through CRH, but that's the breaks. Am getting one I am missing (1958) and some upgrades on the later dates real soon. I will have to start looking for the remainder I am missing first and then probably identify which others I want to upgrade on.

 

Continue working on my MS64 $2.5 Indians. I picked up 8 of them this year.
Try to finish my MS64 8 piece gold type set. I picked up 7 of the 8 needed this year.

 

1925 Australian penny

 

Think of it - from one angle; we're going a lot of different ways with the project - as an incubator workspace for numismatic researchers, a place where the more intense scholars among us (who am I kidding, we want the variety/error freaks ) can coexist and cooperate in a collaborative environment provided, ready-made, for them to express their work online. You won't have to be a "name" in numismatics (although we already have one of those signed on); just somebody with an intense interest in your favorite specialization and the desire to increase and share what you're learning in the company of people with similar plans who can help motivate you.

You just want to blog? We can do that; I will be myself (among a ton of other things to include teaching people how to clean coins ). Want to display your collection? We'll have something for you.

We can and will help members with anything from instruction in numismatic research technique (numismatic photography obviously a specialty) to issue-specific research services, pure editorial critique for blogging, bespoke coding to tweak your presentation to closer suit the information you want to provide, you name it. There's a pretty unique talent set involved in the project from both a numismatic, research and coding front/back end standpoint. It's going to be as close to or as far from turn-key as you want.

Any online community associated with the place - in our plans, but not part of the Day One lineup - would be decidedly bent in that direction as well, and integrated directly with the research/publication side. We're going to do things a little differently from this aspect.

You're welcome to contemplate whether or not your interests might dovetail with such a community. Everyone is. The agreement is, this is a place where one publishes one's work in Open Source fashion, releasing it free to the world upon publication. We wish to leverage the true power of the Internet - instant, wide dissemination of information - to empower coin collectors. We're here to teach, and if you want to teach too we'll provide the classroom.

I know you already have your own online "workspace," which is cool. We're here to add to the total, not displace anything else. The whole point of the thing is we feel there's enough room, enough market, for expansion of numismatic interest online to make a project like this not only possible but necessary. We're not going live for months yet; heck, we're still figuring out how many of our ideas we can implement by Day One as it is.

 

I want one of those too!

 

There not even super expensive! I'm just really poor haha!

 

My goal in 2016 is to reevaluate my current set and sell of the coins that don't fit.

I don't have any specific date in mind to add. Some of the ones I am looking for are hard enough to find without a time limit.

 

A few more high grade or cc or proof trade dollars with good surfaces and a few more type set upgrades. And to build my inventory and do a few more shows. This will depend more on my recent life changes as my finances allow
