I finished my Buffalo nickel set this year, and my goal for 2016 is to complete the Jefferson set I have had in progress for a while as well as the Liberty nickel set I just started. Right now I am only working on the Jefferson set that goes through 1961 so I might try to get the next one up. That one will be pretty easily completed from circulation though so not too high of a priority. Other than completing the nickel sets, I will continue to upgrade my two completed sets: 20th Century Type and Buffalo nickels. heck I might even start on a silver set (either rosies or franklins) with silver being so dirt cheap. |

My goal in 2016 as silver price keeps going down and down is to get more and more silver, whether Eagles or 90%. Based on my past performance, this is probably a foolish thing. Oh well. Well, now that I have thought this over, I have decided to finish my Eisenhower set, I have about 14 now, and will work on upgrading those that are not up to snuff and obtaining those I do not have. This will give me some specific goal to focus on. I have ordered the Dansco 8176 album. I will still be looking for Silver also. |

Complete a high end Buffalo Set and acquire a 1916-D Dime in VF-XF grade to get a start on a Mercury set ....
Also going to assemble a few Jefferson Sets and give to grandkids but only up to say 1964 and let them find the rest .... Will go with just a circulated set of Jeffersons for the kids and my number one goal is to get my grandkids more interested in the business and hobby of coin collecting!

I want to complete my Mercury dime set and start on a Buffalo nickel set. It shouldn't be too hard to complete the mercury set since I have the key dates now. Wish there were more coin shows in New York. Edited by shatsi

Well I have one more coin to finish my 20th Century Type set and that is a Standing Liberty quarter. I also finished my Certified set of Jefferson silver War Nickels in MS66 right before the end of 2015 and I completed a Certified set of the Silver Ike dollars in Proof and MS grade. That sums up 2015 and I've decided to do a certified set of Franklin half dollars for 2016 in MS grade. This project may be tough to complete in 2016 and if it does I'll finish it in 2017. I plan on aiming towards MS64 FBL for as many as I can on my budget and than varying grades between MS 63 FBL and MS 64 or MS65 for most of the others. I wish everyone well in their coin collecting goals in 2016. Edited by fyimo

I really want to increase my Morgan collection in 2016. They seem tough to find back for a reasonable price back home so I'll be keeping an eye out while traveling. When I say 'Morgan collection' I mean the 2 I inherited from my dad. I'm not sure that qualifies as a collection.  Edited by ShinyRock

I think 1 is coin, 2 can be considered a collection, or at least the start of a collection  |

My goals for collecting are dependent on spot prices either finding a floor or going higher.
There are many NCLT coins from various mints around the world I want. However, I am done with buying a coin now and finding it drop by 50% 6 months later.
So my main goals in 2016 will be to continue to make a wish list of the coins I like, keep compiling and tracking prices and waiting for/if a resolution comes in the PM metals market.

Learn more, spend more wisely, and get my duplicates listed on ebay. I don't expect to finish my Lincoln's but I'd like to get a significant start on key dates. Read more books. Also add BU washington's too. |
