    Stop collecting so many lower grade, common issues and get semi key and key date coins.

    After many years of buying most everything the mint had to offer, I quit. I plan to keep my Silver Eagle set complete but I'm done with anything else modern.

    Only buy toned, patterns or errors. No more white boring coins (yes I said it I am a coin racist)

    My goal is to pick up three more silver eagles (one for each of my children) To finish my coin book, basically a notebook listing which coins are worth a little more, which are worth melt, where to sell them in case they need to be sold, also I have been pretty good about saving money for my coin purchases, so maybe I will finish out my IHC set this year.

    Coin-tinue collecting for my AU 55 Barber Quarter to low MS set. Today I just bought a NT BU 1897 BQ. I'll post pics when I get more time. My goal is to have the complete P series by years end. With my new position at work, it just might be possible. Except for the 1913 S, I think that in VG runs a few hundred bucks, if not more if memory serves correctly.

    I hope to add another 10 So-Called Dollars to my collection. I'm getting into the tricky ones now.

    I also hope to catalog & photograph everything that I already have. I'm at least months away from achieving that goal.

    I'm also hoping to buy smarter and to focus on buying just a few great coins not just a bunch of nice but not exceptional coins like I so often do when there's nothing I really want out there and I need a fix

    I mainly collect and deal with bullion, but that aside.....I`m going to find a nicely toned Barber quarter that`s at least a solid MS example.

    Last year I found a Barber quarter while metal detecting an old farmhouse that goes back to the 1880s. It was a 1904 o that was in hideous shape. (especially considering that dug silver coins are usually preserved well for being in the ground) It`d be nice to have an MS example to compare the dug one with......Jekyll and Hyde if You will.

    It wasn't a goal, but I just bought the 2013 Roosevelt Chronicles Set. I'm incredibly excited to get this in hand.

    That is a very good goal. Knowing what you have and being able to show them off here on CT is very rewarding in and of itself.
