I keep my collection mainly as it is, just small up to date additions in Finnish €2 and €5 sections. I'll also complete my sets of current coins of Latvia and Jamaica. If I get crazy I may acquire some bulk lots also:)

2. Complete my Australian Lunar Series in 1/2oz 1oz and 2oz.
3. Continue working on my Dansco 8100 Lincoln Cents
4. Get some more Walking Liberty halves

I plan on thinning the herd this coming year. Like Duncanbishop24, I started heavily collecting about 1 year ago, and kinda went overboard. I've ended up with over 20 something Dansco Albums in varying stages of completeness and a heck of a lot of foreign and domestic 'junk' silver and other various foreign coins.

I have decided that I like 'Type' collecting best, so my focus will be on selling off many of my Dansco Albums (I will probably take a loss on much of this, but I consider it coin tuition, since I learned so much along the way) and focusing on my type albums. I have a Dansco 7070, and I am also working on Canadian, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australian type sets.

As far as my USA coins go, I will keep my completed IKE Dansco, Mercury dimes (missing 16-d), Lincoln cents (1909-S VDB, 1914-D, and 22 no d), Indian Head cents (missing 1877 and 1909-S),Standing Liberty Quarters (missing a bunch), Franklin halves (complete w/ 1958 and 1959 Type 2 reverse as well), and Walkers (missing the 1921 and 1921-D).

I will eventually sell or trade:
Liberty nickel (missing 1885 and 1912-S)
Buffalo nickel (missing 1913-s T2)
Jefferson nickel (complete)
Roosevelt Dimes(Complete)
Babrber Quarters (missing many, see my trade list for which ones I have)
Washington, State, and ATB Quarters (only missing the 1932-D and S, no proofs)
Barber halves ( I have 18, see trade list)
Kennedy Halves(complete, no proofs)
SBA (missing the 79 close rim, and the two proof varieties)
Pres Dollars (complete P&D).

I've already sold my completed Sacagawea dollars and Barber dimes.

I really want to do more trading with CCF members in 2015, that is something I really enjoy. I also want to start attending my local coin club.

Oh, and finish my ZOMBUCKS set!

I hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I look forward to bringing my Kennedy Halfs (P&D) up to date (almost there).

Completing my Franklin halves as a date set, and expanding that toward the full P-D-S.

Completing my 20th Century type set (just need Barber quarter and half), and then upgrading from there when I can.

ATB Quarters are all caught up, so just keeping it updated from circulation.

Lesser goals:
Adding the few Susan B. Agony proofs that I need to complete that set.

Maybe starting a new set - silver Roosevelt dimes, for whatever reason, seem appealing.

Fun topic! My 2015 Goals are:
1) VG 1869 and 1872 IHCs. Will leave me with 1877 and 1909S as my only holes.
2) XF 1883 W/Cents, 1886, 1887. Leaves me with 1885 left (someday...)
3) Work on my neglected Buffalos...

My goal is to finish my Kennedy half set and make it up-to-date, and finish my Peace dollar set with the purchase of the 1928.

In reality, my goal should be to pay down my debt!

However, I know that won't happen, so my main goal is maybe to finish my Washington quarters. I need five more and think that $250 should cover them. The rest of my needs include too many unaffordable coins to ever complete some other sets, but I'll still try!

I also hope to have more patience in 2015 by making fewer purchases so that I can get a handful of higher quality coins and notes. I'll have to overcome the hoarder in me.

I am in the same boat as Joe2007 as far as patience goes. I think I am going to slow down a bit on my purchasing and concentrate on the last five morgan's I need. 1885cc, 1881cc, 1893s, 1894, 1903-O. Okay...maybe just three of these are within reach for 2015.
