I started this thread so people can post what they plan on getting in the near future. This can be specific coins or if you don't have any plans like that it can be a general thing. It just must be something that you have the $$ to get and are just waiting on the right piece. That said, I'll go first. I am currently looking for PCGS Seated liberty material (half dimes, dimes, quarter, half dollar) from the 1830's and 40's for $200 or less. Sure there are quite a few pieces like this in this range. The real challenge in this is finding something for a reasonable price. Now, what are you people looking for?
im looking to actually submit some pieces to a grading company, a couple coins and some south korean bills
A half cent. Any variety lol. Any grade too. Preferably VF but if I can get a good deal on an early (pre-1810) I'd even go for a G-4 example.
I saw this beautiful 1804 draped bust XF half cent with the spiked chin and crosslet four. As soon as I get back into town Tuesday I'm picking it up. My dealer is holding it for me. I'll snap some photos and post them into the "newest acquisitions" thread.
I plan to start grabbing some Platinum coins don't have many and with prices at its lows it is likely the best time.
Going to the FUN show tomorrow and I plan to buy some Ikes. Nothing huge, but I'll be happy with them.
I'm down to the key dates on my Peace Dollar set. I aim to finish that this year! And add a few to my type set. Also to expand my horizons - learn more about early American coins and World coins. Going to be a good year! -L
Nothing specific right now in the works, but I'll continue building my large cent varieties collection. That should keep me busy for the rest of my life, or until I come into a few million spare dollars. Guy
Well tomorrow I am going to some pawn shops and gold and coin shops to hopefully get some more old Canadian 5 cent pieces and some old large cents.
I'm planning on increasing my Morgan Dollar collection. Try to get as many NT ones I can and possibly some low mintage ones. I'm also planning on getting my first gold coin.
A circulated AU Franklin A Proof Franklin A morgan A Peace Dollar A Flying Eagle (Any cond/year) A 3c silver
Just started building for my Type Set - nothing major right now, but the fun is just beginning! Have a proof Franklin, one each Unc Morgan and Peace, Walking Half, proof Kennedy, proof Jeff, AU Buff, etc...will work on the harder ones throughout the year...hope to be done by December....

This is a GREAT thread, Au & MS! Really gets one thinking about the goals and futures for 2012. Thank you for that! Best regards. -L
Surprised how many people want Franklin Halves............an early 50s Franklin Half in MS, likely with an FBL
