Sell off more of my lower value material and use those proceeds to and upgrade/add a few more PQ classic commems to my collection.  Quote:
Arguably that was also my 2023 goal but I got side-tracked by a few great "non-core collection" purchases that I just couldn't pass up. A worthy trade-off, I am sure!  |

1. Spend more time enjoying and looking at my collection, rather than focusing exclusively on filling holes. Use this time to narrow my collecting focus and figure out what items I'd like to sell, trade, or give away. 2. Fill one hole in each of my Barber dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Washington quarter sets. 3. Fill one hole in my Mint Sets. 4. Buy or trade for 2-5 modern US coins on my Want List. 5. Complete another year in my First Spouse bronze medal series set. 6. Continue updating my storage options and photo inventory. Keep existing inventory up to date with new purchases. 7. Encourage family members to become numismatists. |

Haven't participated in this annual thread for some time, but would like to record here a few goals:
1. Continue to acquire new dated or datable coins from the 15th Century. I currently have 30 years with empty slots, so it would be nice to fill two or three of those. Bonus points if I knock off any dates in the 14th Century.
2. Continue to acquire coins datable to a single decade. From present times going back to the year zero AD, I've got 22 empty slots. I'd like to fill four or five of those.
3. Only slightly out of scope for this discussion: be the best CCF moderator that I can be! Looking forward to following your progress! ...Well, on points 1 and 2, anyway - 3 is less of a progress and more of a process  My own goals hadn't really changed since 2023... Quote:
For now my plan for 2023 is the same as my last plan for 2022: find and visit a coin store (and/or a coin fair), and hopefully buy some coins from there. Has yet to happen (though I did find a few inexpensive coins at a local market), but there's a lot of the year still left.
Unexpected additional goal: actually enter all the random foreign coins I got from relatives into my Numista collection. I was going to do that in January but somehow never actually got around to any actual entering after the first... maybe five or six coins. There's about 200 coins in the queue by now. ...expect that I did find some coin stores on the tourist shop street in Jerusalem's Old City, but didn't buy anything there because I suspected the prices would be ludicrously marked up. (And yes, the Numista entry thing didn't happen. I really should get around to that.) [EDIT: added link and rephrased some comments] Edited by january1may

well, another new year, here we are.. i just reviewed my post from 12-31-2022: Quote:my LWC folder still needs an '09-S VDB, i still need two ASEs to complete my Type l reverse collection, ...aaaand i'll just have to keep that on the back burner, no progress made there last year. Quote:my Morgan dollar pile could use some new additions, my type album has numerous holes that need filling, and I'm hoping I can squeeze three or four grams of gold from the streets... ...those three things got some attention last year. I snagged a few morgans, got albums for them, too.. found a few things for the type album and I did indeed squeeze several grams of gold from the streets. so for 2024, it's the same plan, basically. if I can snag a few more morgans, and/or some additional things for the type album, that'd be great. my biggest focus, however, will be to squeeze the streets for more gold.  |

Spend less money. i figured this out a while ago: the less you make, the more you do not spend. otherwise you're left with self-imposed austerity and willpower. I report that I have mastered all of these options. best of luck to all of you on your collecting endeavors.  |
