2017 Had me mostly focusing on my Ike Collection. I started this year and am down to Three coins to complete the set. I am taking a break from that set and focusing on Morgans. I am not going for a complete set but there are a few coins I have been chomping at the bit for. Here are three I hope to acquire in 2018: MS65 1885CC Morgan MS66 1882S Morgan MS66 1880S Morgan What are on your 2018 Wish List?
I actually wish to start off 2018 with less US Mint Errors and dwell in Foreign Mint Errors. I started with 2 this year. A Die Crack on a coin from India and a Off-Center from Argentina both NGC attributed.
@Bman33 - Did you see todays thread I posted? My last Error for 2017 https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1-...ght-clip-mint-error-ms63.308276/#post-2949820
I hope to collecting a nice collection of Indian Head Cents and Large Cents to pass down to my son. Thanks, icollectoldmoney
I intend to start and complete my ASE collection and put them in the CAPS Binder. I will also continue to stack as much foreign silver as I can.
I need to drastically thin out the herd. Then finish my Early Silver Commem set (7 to go). After that...not a clue
I take an opportunistic approach to collecting, so I have no idea what will come up that I will want to buy. There will definitely be some ancient Chinese coins and probably some other ancients. I don't know what US coins I will be getting.
I kinda feel the same way, uncertainty hope I'm able to expand my toned set in progress Roosevelt Silver Dime Dansco book.. As well as my Morgan book. If anyone wants to help me with that, my address is.....
I am an opportunity buyer as well. I am not currently seeking anything in particular, but I will pounce on a good deal if I find one. Still off the cigarettes, @Bman33?
I'm just going to keep adding the 2018 coins to my sets. The only must get coin this year is a nice AU 1955 DDO Lincoln cent.
I've got 4 coins to go to finish my set of NGC Washington quarters 1932-1964...and only five of those coins aren't MS. After that will be working on my set of early commems, which I have been adding too few coins to for too long.
I was thinking gold eagles too but not sure whether owning the 1/10th and 1/4 size would a better buy based on future liquidity?
My tentative general 2018 wish list: -some more Capped Bust Quarters, because you can never have too many -some capped bust dimes, and maybe a Dansco album for them -maybe a capped bust half dime if the right one appears -2018 silver reverse proof set One of those is definitely not like the other!
the general rule of thumb is this: the smaller the coin, the higher the premium. Both are just as liquid, one costs more than the other per ounce.
