My goal is always the same every year, to add at least one more piece to my early large cent variety collection. I've done well, so far I have added two new varieties and upgraded two. (I don't normally upgrade but I couldn't pass them up.)

I added a 1794 S-45 R-5+, and a 1796 NC-3 Draped Bust R-6+ (about 18 known).

My upgrades were 1794 S-72 from a Pr-1 to a F-12, and an 1800 S-198 R-5+ from a Pr-1 to a VG-8, ninth finest known. (at one time it was the third finest known.)

3. Write an article for the JRCS Journal.

For those in the club, look for the article titled "Collecting Mint Error Capped Bust half dollars" in the next journal!

Suffering from bust half fever.

LOL!! you do that to helder, too? my goading is a bit subtle, I just send him pictures of gold & wait a few days, inevitably I get blamed for the next gold coin he acquires. I wear that blame proudly. anything for a friend & fellow collector.



anyway.. I just had a look at my post from pg 3, I forgot what I posted; there's still a good chunk of the year to get thru. as the year wanes i'll post my achieved goals.

@mr pink and @dearborn,

You guys are just trouble makers! I look at John's coins and want silver and then pink sends me pictures of gold coins and I want those also. But those gold coins are not cheap so I have to save up!


But then you have coinfrog that sends me currency pictures and then I want currency also.

It's difficult with so much tempting!!!

Well its Sept 29, 2023 and I'm not going to get anything tomorrow, here are my updates.


Quote:
1) Complete the 3 missing coins from my 7070 type set. This is really low priority. The 3 missing coins just don't excite me for what they cost. So it most likely won't even be looked at.


We'll I changed it up to include the gold page and added 3 gold coins.

Quote:
2) Complete the slabbed IHC set. Missing only 9. May get a few but I doubt I'll complete the set in 2023.


No updates.


Quote:
3) Get any missing notes from my US currency type set. I have a few fractionals that I am interested in and maybe another large sized.


Added a few large notes to the set.

I see my entry here (page 5) was nearly 6 months ago. Instead of acquiring coins, I coauthored my 4th article in BCCS journal, so I guess that's something. Recently bought the last of the trifecta of 1901-O dime hub type combos, an AU58 1901-O with Obverse 2 Reverse 3, and added another * to my list.

1900-S Reverse 1 (anomaly, scarce) **

I also did not acquire a single coin last quarter (first time since 2017), though I had some success in auctions this week. I got wrapped up learning about historic cemetery preservation (which I commented on over on this thread: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...IC_ID=111133 ), and was also traveling a lot now that I'm fully retired.

When 2023 began, my only "goals" were US Mint releases. The upcoming Morgan & Peace dollars Reverse Proof set remains the most anticipated addition to my silver commemoratives collection. As my interest in Medallic Art Company (MACO) medals grew, a goal took shape: Obtain at least one bronze example of the key series medals struck by MACO. These are the series where I met the goal; in the highlighted examples, I obtained a complete set.

The Society of Medalists
The Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University
Statehood Art Medals (distributed by Presidential Art Medals, Inc - [PAM] )
Signers of the Declaration of Independence [PAM]
National Parks Centennial
Presidential Art Medals - [PAM]
Great Men of Medicine - [PAM]
Famous Black Americans
Liberty National Memorial Shrines
World War II [PAM]
Aviation Hall of Fame [PAM]
Apollo Series [PAM]
Great Religions of the World [PAM]
Presidential Inaugurals
Annual Calendar Series

Whenever I visit the MACO specimen archive, I manage to find additional series of interest. I jot them down for future reference in my "collecting" notebook. 2024 is on the way. . .
