My new years resolution is to a) refocus my collecting on two goals (type and large cents), and b) sell off the extras that don't fit.

 

my new years goal is i will not spend money on coins i spent more than 25k this year and that has made me a lil worried

 

my coin resolution is to not let myself waste money on impulse buys that I will regret later (I do it a lot).

For my life I am studying abroad, graduating college, and hopefullly finding my first career job. (it's going to be a big year)

25k? wow.

I spent almost 700 and I though I was going overboard

 

My 2008 resolutions:

1. Finish my Peace Dollar set
2. study grading
3. Learn how to carve a coin like billzach.

 

updated mintage

happy thanksgiving day to all coin collectors.

 

i'm looking to finish off my 3 fine grade US collections; Wartime Jefferson nickels, Winged Liberty dimes 1941-1945, and Walking Liberty halfs 1941-1947. i will then put my energy and resources toward a Newfoundland type set in BU or better where possible. that should keep me busy for the better part of 2008 - nice Newfoundland coins aren't easy to find.

Buy fewer better coins.

 

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.

I'm still trying to decide what coin to collect for my "One Coin Coin Set."

 

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.

 

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.

 

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!!

As far as coins go, I would like to finish my SLQ set with full dates, down to 3.

 

i forgot

my additional new year's resolution is to try to start selling. i never sell any coin in my life.

 

my nu(mis) years resolution is to
1 save up for bigger buys (ie 20th ASE anniversary set)
2 finish type set

 

new plan for 2008

i am thinking of buying 2008 alaska bear and hawaii king statehood quarters. 2008 jackson's and van buren's liberty. and for 2009 lincoln cent.

p.s. i might buy 2007 10th anniversary platinum 1/2 oz proof and reverse proof. this will be my first platinum coin if i really buy it. but i can also use this money to buy american eagle (w) uncirculated gold instead.

currently bought a lot of 2007 five pc statehood proof and silver proof set. don;t ask me why?. i just like it.

 

To be more frugal than I have been the last six months. Would like to get the 1999 silver proof set but it costs so much. That is my main goal and a few silver eagles to go with the few that I hae

 

Heres mine

1) Get roll of each state quarters in 2008

2) Get a 2008 Silver Eagle

3) Work on type set.

4) Help get over my obsession with coins.:goofer:

 

Scrap number 4 on your list. You'd spend more money on therapy than you would on coins!

GO WITH THE FLOW!
