Quote:I want to finish 3 sets 1) complete the walking liberties only need 8 DONE2) complete the bison nickels 1 page done, 1 page to goDONE3) complete and upgrade the V nickels , I'm only missing 3 but a few I want to upgrade to full liberty PARTIALLY DONE4) get the 2016 gold Mercury dimeDONE5) get the 2001 silver bison dollars (proof and unc) DONE6) get a nice IHC ms 62+DONEThat's it, also maybe get a few ASE. I like ASE. This is the V nickels, but I haven't upgraded them. Since I got these as a gift, I decided not to upgrade the vast majority, I did upgrade the 1892 and 1894. I might just leave this as complete. I still haven't picked up any ASE, so that will be a goal for 2020. I'll pick up a Dansco and get the ones missing from 1986 to present.

All coin collecting activities are on hold, until I see how bad the health and economic situation will get.

Quote: until I see how bad the health and economic situation will get. I hope all is OK. If I recall you're in the NY metro area which sounds scary to all the rest of us right now. My brother was still going to work and using public transportation until a week ago. So far he's OK, but I worry about him. Yeah ... then there's that economy thing. Here in Ohio we saw a 2,500% week-on-week increase in unemployment claims.

My goal for 2020 is getting through the Covid-19 virus . Once I have peace of mind I would like to finish my WLH set which only is missing the 21 P&D .

1. Finish/upgrade Canada Nickel 5 cents 2. Acquire the rest of Canada silver 5 cents (1884 and 1875 aside), upgrade those below F-12 grade to higher 3. Finally get into Canada large cents? 4. Dont buy anything else because 1 and 2 are more important

I'm 71, so I'd probably be euthanized if I showed up at the local hospital with COVID-19, assuming the hospitals are overwhelmed.

New goal for 2020 is to survive 2020. My collection won't get any better if I am not around to tend it. Scary times as the quarantines in many places are failing.

Well, first I hope everyone is still well. And will be able to make a 2d quarter report in June. I just had a piece of good luck on finishing out one of my goals. A day after I opened my wallet a bit wider than I had hoped to fill the year 1590 in my Kingdom of Poland OFEY, I stumbled across the 1516 on ebay for a price lower than I was anticipating. Here is the 1590 (still the seller's photo):
