My goals are to keep adding to my collection and broaden the scope of it, along with my knowledge of the coins I am collecting.
I do this every year so it realy isn't a new thing

I bought a lot of coins and silver last year. I plan more of the same this year. I already picked up a ATB 5oz. silver for 2012. As far as specific collecting goals, here are mine:

1. 2012 bullion, proof, and uncirculated ASE's.
2. Finish Ike dollar date set.
3. Work on Kennedy date set.
4. Document coins bought for the colleciton better.

There's a coin show near me this weekend, so I hope to find the Ike dollars and 2012 ASE bullion I'm looking for.

A worthy goal. Should be number one, in my opinion.

1. Restart my SLQ set - try to get at least 7-10 of them in EF or better condition this year. Hope I trip over a dateless 16 somewhere in a pile of 90%. Hey - it happens - I've seen it on here 3-4 times.

2. Restarted my Merc Dime set, so far have 5 MS62 or higher, so - continue to add to that as I can.
3. Finish my Lincoln set - need the biggie - 1909 S VDB and a couple of others.
4. Add bullion.
5. Add 90% to the stack.
6. Re-assess my Buff set, upgrade the acid dated coins (6 of them) at good buying opportunities.

I will be adding more silver and a little gold (coins) to my collection this year, I also have been snatching up reasonably prices Half Cents in EF+ when I find them. I have been moving out the common wheats and putting that into Merc's. Always picking up pre-30 BU wheats too.
