I'm working on a set of 1858 large cents by identified die pairs. There are 50 some odd identified pairings so far. I'm about 60% done. I finished the 1859/8 group a few weeks back. There were 18 in that set. I will extend that set to 1858 and 1859 N9 coins that share the same obverse working dies as 1859/8's.

There is a certain Canadian variety I have been buying,priced fairly high in trends, as only about 40 have been certified by ICCS in all grades.Number 17 should arrive in the mail this week.If I live long enough to reach a quantity more than the number certified I will send them all to ICCS and upset the trends applecart,just to prove a point.
That's just one of my possibly unattainable goals.

I've been working on a set of pre-confederation tokens in proof for about 20 years. So far, I have 10 of the 14 tokens on my original list. Maybe I'll give it another 10 years or so!  |

I HATE this!  The last time I was active in coin collecting was my pre-internet days. Now that it is so easy to communicate information, I keep seeing all of these amazing coins I never knew existed before - and now I want them all!  What stunning detail and design!  |

New Brunswick produced some attractive tokens. This one labeled "half penny currency" has quite different obverse/reverse toning.  |

I only need 47 Canadian decimal coins, and my goal is to have all the Canadian and Provincal coins before I am 65 years old, excluding RCM mint glitter.I have most unc sets except 1953 and 1954. |

DBM, thanks for the comment re the Chinese fakes. Anyone collecting Victoria large cents needs to know how to protect themselves against that scourge.
