2007 Coin Collecting Goals

Do you have the book, HOW TO GRADE U.S. COINS by Jame L. Halperin? This is a very good book.

Also, pick up Lawrence's books on Barber coins, old but worth the read.
For varieties, try Flynn's books on Barber dimes and quarters.
Barbers have some great varieties, give it a go.

 

No, I have only the Official ANA grading book. Thanks for the suggestion, also thanks Treashunt for the tips on books for Barbers.

" - 'complete' my Barber Dimes set in F - AU"
I wish you luck! I have been working on this set for years.
Hardest dates, to date (besides the 1895 O, I only have a VG) are the 1896 O (F-15), 1989 O (VF),
1900 O (VF), 1902 S (VF), 1902 O (VF) 1903 S (F) and really tough teh 1909 S, F-12.

 

Why buy it when you can get it free!

I did not tell him too buy it I just ask if he had it. My next posting would have been. Join the Heritage Auction Galleries @ HA.com and pick one up for free.:thumb:

 

I am already a member of Heritage and track prices on that site, but other than the generic grading page I didn't see any free resources. I'll check it out again. Thanks, Speedy, for the link to the on line grading guide.

 

I expect that 1895-O is going to be tough, but not as tough as the 1989 O!

I picked up a slabbed 1901-S in F last month for a good price, I reckon if I'm patient I'll be able to pick up other harder dates.

 

When you first register you have a choice of a free gifts and if you did not go down to the bottom of the page you will not see it.

If you are already a member then Speed's link is the next best thing.

 

Me: Upgrade a couple of coins in my 20th Century Type Set. I think my Type 1 and Type 2 Standing Liberty Quarters are next in the queue. Get my World Coins collection organized (it's still in the file box I had it in when I was a kid). Help Thalia finish the Canada Cents folder.

Thalia: Find more Queen Elizabeth coins, finish the Lincoln Memorial Cents folder, and get a "Bullwinkle Quarter" (Canada's 2004 quarter that has the moose drawn by a child).

 

That must be new--I didn't get anything like that--
I do get $10 my first order of coins over $100 but so far I've won a few coins from Heritage and none of them have been over $100

Yes it is new,my brother got one when he register last month. I got the same thing you did a $10 off my first bid over $100 but I have not found any thing I would spend $100 for or that I can afford over $100.:headbang:

 

to get the....

2006 British Proof set, and the 2007 set.

12 ounces of silver.

Some of the old british stuff.


MOST WANTED LIST:

Godless or Gothic Florin
Standing Liberty Quarter
2005 Proof Gold Soverign

 

What is this coin? That's a beaut!

 

The Gothic Florin, beautiful coin.

 

They don't make them like they used to.

 

The 'Godless' Florin is similar in design to the Gothic Florin,but the inscription is plain & it is slightly smaller in size than the Gothic Florin.

Aidan.

 

maybe buy a few flying eagle cents, finish ihc collection.

 

I'm not setting my goals very high this year, if I see a nice and affordable Indian cent I'll get it, otherwise:
1. Buy more silver!
2. Buy more silver!!
3. Buy more silver!!!

 

That's a great way to do it! It's good to know that people can take the time to learn what they are doing ahead of time..it saves them from a LOT of mistakes. But good luck this year either way!
My goal is to get back into collecting..I took a break when school started up..but now I got the coin fever all over again!
Wish the best to all..
