<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25941410, member: 114635&quot;]The past year was a good one for me in terms of my collection. I completed three sets to my satisfaction: an 18th century to modern type set, a type set of fractional currency, and a classic silver and gold commemorative set. There are of course caveats when using the word &quot;completed.&quot; The 18th century to modern type set is missing six coins that are extremely expensive to procure even in poor condition, 1793 Half cent, chain cent, half disme, 1796 quarter and half dollar and a Gobrecht dollar. The commemorative suite contains all the varieties but I did not concern myself with getting all of the mint marked coins and the Pan-Pac $50 gold coins are way out of my price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some sets I will be working on during 2025.</p><p>1. An 1834 to 1933 gold type set. I only need two Double Eagles to complete the set, an 1866-1876 Twenty D with Motto and a St. Gaudens with motto. I am not looking to add either of the two Roman numeral Double Eagles to the set. Completion of the set is really just a question of having the funds. </p><p>2. A set of colonial currency with a note from each state excluding Vermont that even if I could find one they are typically way out of my price range.</p><p>3. I need but six coins to complete my century set. Coins from 600 BC, 0-100 AD, 400-500 AD, 800-900 AD, 1100-1200 AD and 1400-1500 AD. I don&#039;t think finding coins will be problem but I can be persnickety when it comes to quality.</p><p>4. Look for nice examples of key dates that are not duplicated in my type set i.e. coins that worked hard for a living and still look good.</p><p>5. A suite of the 1928 Irish Free State coins.</p><p>6. Any examples of tokens, coins, Jetons etc. that depict beehives.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy reading about everyone&#039;s collecting goals. It&#039;s a great hobby with wonderful folks involved at all levels.</p><p><br /></p><p>To everyone on CT. I wish upon you the Merriest Christmas with the Happiest of Holidays and New Years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p><br /></p><p>Tall Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
