2016 Numismatic goals

Anyone have any numismatic goals for 2016, like getting a key date or finishing up a series?

Complete my Booker T's and Carver/Washingtons.........

 

Search as much as I can before I have to move to Korea for a year.

 

Complete my Peace dollar date set, then hunker down on a new endeavor. There are several candidates to focus on.

 

I hope to get the last Walking Liberty Half I need. I would also like to get some more of the better date Indian cents in XF.

 

I'm saving up for a '28P in F-XF

 

I basically have 4 collecting areas which I budget for, Medieval, Modern British, U.S., and Ancients. In order:

2-3 11th-12th century English Hammered
catch up on my English Decimal proof sets (not entirely - but I would like at least 3 of the more expensive sets I missed)
Start cataloguing my US collection, and maybe get the last few Jeffersons I'm missing
No real goal for my ancients yet - set money aside each month for something interesting

 

Spending less money on coins than in 2015... see my avatar? New coin

 

Yes. I'm going to put a numismatic research site online.

 

Well since I collect pocket change, filling in some more of the holes and the farther I go back in time I will be at a point where I will have to start buying. So getting to that point is 2016's goal and 2017's goal I will start filling in the earlier and hard to find ones by buying them. And to keep up to date with putting theme in 2 x 2's and in pages.

 

At least acquire one MS Barber half for my type set.

 

selling the rest of my half cents to pay for the 911 I just bought, then spending what's left over (if any) on Comity Americana medals

 

Now that is ambitious! Good luck.

 

I'm with micbraun. Need to spend less in 2016, consolidate and conserve a lot of coins that need it, and search what I already have for varieties.

 

Finish the Fugio site. Catalog my grandfather's cent and nickel collection. Image the rest of my coins. Find a nicer -Y Fugio.

 

Will be attending my first coin show. Focusing my efforts.

 

Add more Roman tetradrachms and byzantines. Maybe a byzantine gold coin of some sort.

Would also love to hit the "WORLD'S FAIR OF MONEY" in Anaheim.

 

My other goal-post more often at Coin Talk.

 

Really keeping track of my purchases and sales.
Also would like to add some more franklins to my set in 65 or 66 and FBL when possible. Getting tougher and tougher to find the dates I need.

 

Finish my Peace Dollar set and read more of the books I have in my numismatic library.
