What Are Your 2018 Coin Collecting Goals?

I made some solid progress in 2017 with my hoard of the '82s. I added 182, 282, 882, 982, and 1282 dated coins. For 2018, my remaining century holes are 82, 382, 482, 582, 682, and 1082. There is a nice 682 in a Jan auction I hope to bring home. Wish me luck! 1082 and 482 are proving particularly rare mintages.

In 2018:

1. return to the Women of Rome project and finish off the incomplete. Then expand on the earlier examples with my more recent acquisitions.

2. bring order to my chaotic collection of Roman Provincials.

3. update my earlier studies of Late Roman imperial bronze, especially certain types.

4. thin out my duplicates.

5. get deeper into the Eastern mints of the late second and early third centuries.

Pretty sure that @collects82 focuses his current collecting efforts on finding coins with AD dates that end in those two digits.

I was born 1982, and despite my love for coins, actually focusing on one particular series has proven too hard. Too much cool stuff out there "I have to have" or at least have dabble in. I succumbed to my ADD and found a way to dabble in everything and research anything. Everyday is something new to behold.

About 5 years ago I started working on a set that focuses on 1982, 1882, ... 1082, 682, 582, 482, 382, etc, or the corresponding date in another calendar. I've had to go with corresponding AH dates for some years, my 282 is a 204 Western Satraps, many of my 1182 are Chinese. The hoard is accumulating some of everything :)

My first was actually an 1882-S Morgan for my 15th birthday. It was about 15 years after that this focus really came around. I am slowly working on a date set of Capped Bust Half Dimes and dimes, and Draped Liberty cents and Half Cents. The 82s thing gets more attention because it's a lot more fun in its variety.
