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.

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.

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.

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.

I suppose I could add to my 2016 list: buy a coin on ebay.

I have been looking at the Seated Liberty dollars on ebay.

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.

Yes I am. Trade dollars seem to be plentiful at the coin shows, but pickings are somewhat slim on the Seated dollars.
