After some thought, I am motivated to rid my collection of unwanted coins. I have accumulated many, while picking up "whole lot" collections. Also, I am in the process of organizing my "keepers", so that my family (upon my departure) will know exactly what they have, where it is exactly and what it is worth.
Meanwhile ... I will continue to sniff around the usual places for something I "must" have :)

As we are getting towards the end, here is my last update, I don't expect to have anything else between today and end of the year. These were my goals: Quote:
1) Add the missing coins to my slabbed 7070. I did pretty good, I added a few gold coins.   But no additions to the 3 missing. Quote:
2) Add the missing coins to my slabbed Indian Head cent I added a 1886 Type II  And added the 1873.  Also upgraded a few.   Quote:
3) Add the missing notes to my US currency type set. I was able to add 4     And an error I got graded.  Quote:
4) Add any missing coins to my coins from Portugal Type Set. I added 2 monarchy coins and a killer set of 4 coins in ceramic.   Quote:
5) Add any missing notes to my currency from Portugal Type set. Added 1 really nice note.  Quote:
6) Upgrade any coins that I can from my albums I upgraded the IHC to a Dansco and started a new album. I also upgraded the Mecury Dime and Walking Liberty set.  Overall fewer purchases but much higher quality. Edited by hfjacinto

Here is my final update for 2024: Quote:
Kingdom of The Netherlands type set After completing this set a month or two ago, I decided to split the banknotes and Gulden from this set, move the coins from the year 1973 to my Birthyear Set, and sell off the remainder. The set as it was just wasn't appealing to me any longer. Especially all those tiny coins I could hardly see. My Dutch banknotes can be seen in the Banknote thread, http://goccf.com/t/58789 , my Guldens will be shown in their own dedicated thread as they are currently with NGC to be graded. Quote:
Provincial Coins of Utrecht See: http://goccf.com/t/471182No update since last October. I hope to get lucky and be able to purchase one or more coins at the New York International Numismatic Convention in January, 2025. Quote:
Symphony Set of Coins Was able to add several beauties to this set. I am sure, more will follow.          Quote:
International Birthyear Set Collection (1973) Assembling this set goes very well. No shortage of coins to add. Quote:
Medals from Utrecht Haven't seen any medals from Utrecht lately that I like. Quote:
Collection Of Coins From Curacao And The Netherlands Antilles Started a new set of Curacao and Netherlands Antilles coins. See: http://goccf.com/t/472981 Edited by NumisEd

Here were my goals at the start of the year. Quote:
1. Continue to acquire new dated or datable coins from the 15th Century. I currently have 30 years with empty slots, so it would be nice to fill two or three of those. Bonus points if I knock off any dates in the 14th Century.
2. Continue to acquire coins datable to a single decade. From present times going back to the year zero AD, I've got 22 empty slots. I'd like to fill four or five of those.
3. Only slightly out of scope for this discussion: be the best CCF moderator that I can be! For goal #1, I picked up five new years plus I am still waiting on one to arrive from Europe: 1382, 1388, 1409, 1412, 1413 (pending), and 1486. I was very glad to find that last one as it pushes back the first year for which I don't have a coin by more than twenty. I'll include a pic of it below. For goal #2, I managed to find coins from three different decades: 460s, 410s, and 200s. Of course I totally knocked #3 out of the park.  Interestingly, I've decided to start selling off some parts of my collection that I began with ( US coins). It is nice to turn some of these old purchases into money which I can plow into my current area of focus.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Awesome Spence! Here were my goals: Quote:
1. Bring my 7150 Barber Half album to 90%+ complete. This one is going to be highly dependent on what hits the market. Some of my remaining coins are R-3 and R-4 and are hard to come by.
2. Add a Carson City Morgan. 79-85 and 89 needed.
3. Add another Liberty Seated Half and Dollar.
4. Probably not going to get much from the mint other than the proof and reverse proof Innovation dollars.
1. Accomplished this one. I believe I have the last Barber Half I need to get 100% complete under the Christmas tree Will be posting an update in the new year in my thread. 2. I added a 79, 82, 83, and upgraded by 91 Carson City Morgan's. So more than complete. 3. I did neither of these. I did add a chopmarked Trade dollar though. 4. Only got the Innovation Dollars, as predicted. |

Me, too. I received one of my December purchases and will assume the others arrive shortly.... So ...
1. Continue to add early dated/datable coins in the 1400s, 1300s and "decade coins" earlier.
1Q/2Q/3Q: Dated 1471 and 1473 (Deventer); Florence grossos dateable to 1424, 1453 and 1487; Cologne weisspfennig (1383); Brabant coins dateable to 1377, 1382,1430.
4Q: Added dated Low Countries coins 1472, 1486, 1488 (ouch!), and dateable coins1249 and 1467. I noticed @spence got a 1486 this year, too!
2. Continue to grow collection and knowledge of saints on medieval coins. Last year I added 15 in this theme.
1Q/2Q/3Q: St. George (Antioch), St. Simeon (Trier), Mary Magdalen (Papal) St. Anselm (Mantova), St. Appolinaris (Ravenna), St. Antoninus (Piacenza), St. Nicholas (Desana), St. Prosdocimus (Padua) and a Danish penning with a St. Michael.
4Q: St. Zeno (Verona), St. Domitian (Huy, Belgium), St. Quirinus (Coreeggio, Italy), St. Patrick (Mantua, Italy), St. Geminiano (Modena, Italy)
3. Continue work on Numista catalog.
1Q/2Q/3Q: Added about 380 new coins to the catalog (now at 1529 listings created). Very active buidling the medieval sections of a number of Italian city states: Genoa, Cremona, Padua, Trento, Aquileia. Also added a lot to Crusader States/Rhodes.
4Q: Now at 1603 coins added to the catalog, probably with few more to be added by year's end.
I'd like to get a bit more disciplined about my spending.
1Q/2Q/3Q. At about the same point I was same time last year.
4Q. Oh well. Now about 15% above last year, but pleased with what I have added. Could be worse.
