<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2595349, member: 74712&quot;]So there was a thread in the coin chat forum last year about goals for 2016, but since I spend most of my time with the Ancient folk, I thought I&#039;d move things here.&nbsp; Here is what I said were my goals for 2016:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for how I did this year:</p><p>Medieval - got 2 11th-12th century English hammered (Stephen and John), before vearing off into a French Feudal tangent (and my English Henry VII).&nbsp; Some of the French coins are Anglo-Gallic, so they could count...</p><p><br /></p><p>British Decimal - got one expensive set, and one not-so expensive set.&nbsp; This year was mostly keeping up with the Royal Mint who issued an insane number of pieces.&nbsp; Hopefully they calm down next year, but if this trend continues I may need to give up on my goal of collecting each Decimal British coin...</p><p><br /></p><p>US - gave up on the idea of Cataloguing since its all just date and mintmark.&nbsp; No new US coins (except the annual sets), but have begun changing how I store my collection</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients - found a goal!&nbsp; only got a couple of ancients this year, but tried to keep things cheap.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>As for my 2017 goals:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Medieval - finish my French Feudal &#039;set&#039; I&#039;ve had in mind (about 2-3 coins remaining), then buy either a facing bust Edward the Confessor, Tealby Henry II, or an Irish King John (preferably 2 of the 3).</p><p><br /></p><p>British Decimal - keep up with the royal mint and complete my new storage plan. Maybe grab an annual set I missed</p><p><br /></p><p>US - Purchase the annual sets, and complete my new storage plan for the Pennies and Nickels</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients - purchase at least one sharp portrait Coin of Caracalla in a year I don&#039;t have.&nbsp; An interesting reverse is also desirable </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else have collecting goals for next year?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
