<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnYangMan, post: 5387578, member: 87271&quot;]An interesting topic! While my goals and pursuits are primarily dictated by what and in what quality comes onto the market, I do have a couple I want to share. While I won’t be treating these as commandments, I think I would have a stellar year if I can cross all of these off!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Focus more on Islamic coinage! The upcoming Steve Album auction should help with that!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Acquire at least two new inscriptions for my Chinese square foot spade collection. This year I had just three and it seems the longer I collect these, the trickier new ones are to come by.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Find a ‘hidden’ provenance for at least one coin already in my collection</p><p><br /></p><p>- One siege coin from a city not yet represented in my collection. Middelburg or Zierikzee would be nice? A white whale would be Haarlem, but the chances of me acquiring such a piece are rather slim. But never say never…</p><p><br /></p><p>- Purchase a type I did not know existed at the beginning of the year. I love learning new things through coins and am always interested in adding to the diversity of the collection, so this seems to be an easy one!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Upgrade one coin. There are a handful of things in my collection that I consider ‘very expensive hole fillers’ that don’t really live up to my current perspective on quality anymore, but that I find too fascinating to get rid of without having a replacement. The only solution is of course to acquire a more pleasing example! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>- As many others here, catch up with database and photographing stuff I am severely legging behind with!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Most of all, have fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
