<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 26616559, member: 82181&quot;]Today is the day I usually print up (and post next to my computer); my collecting objectives for the New Year.&nbsp; Naturally, my computer ran out of ink.&nbsp; Come to think of it that might also be a tradition.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; This year I have to be little more vague about part of my plan.&nbsp; I am still deep in the research and planning stage for what will become my new fascination; Barbers.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.&nbsp; I am still in search of 2 specific types of Fortin top 100 coin types.&nbsp; I have 10 but made a list of 12 ( 4 years ago) so I have some unfinished Seated dime plans.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.&nbsp; I also have a small group of Seated coins that are on my radar.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 5 Seated Dimes. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 3 Seated Quarters.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 5 Seated Halves.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.&nbsp; I have put proof Indian cents in my lists for 4 years now but must admit the competiton is fierce.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.&nbsp; I do have a basic plan for Barbers but for the most part dates and mints are wide open.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; My primary focus will be on my Barber Dime date set, but it is in my collecting DNA to look for varieties, popular or otherwise; see my recap of 2025 if you want to know more about that.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5.&nbsp; I am also going to try and get starter sets of Barber Quarters and Halves going.&nbsp; If I somehow manage even 2 or 3 of either denomination I will be thrilled.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6.&nbsp; My final comment is about holders rather than coins.&nbsp; I have made it a primary goal to see what coins are still available in the old White ANAC Small holders; but it will always be the coin first.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Good luck to everyone else.&nbsp; I hope you all have a wonderful New Year and find some of the coins you might be making a list of and checking twice.&nbsp; James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
