What Are Your 2024 Numismatic Collecting Goals?

Strike-Throughs are done



Completed the Hall of Fame for Great Americans set. Added a couple medals to the collection from overseas sources.

Set a goal to have at least two types (PRF, BULL, or UNC) of American Silver Eagles from each year in the series: Getting closer. . .several proof issues shy of the goal. By year's end, I might have all of the Bullion and Burnished issues too. Won't be getting after "emergency issues," nor the hyper-expensive ones.

I've definitely spent more time with my collection this quarter, but mostly with cataloging my new purchases and transitioning from 2x2s to Dansco albums. My collection has expanded rapidly, and I need to scale back some and refocus. But...that's probably a 2025 goal.




This goal is in progress. I've been catching up with my inventory updates. I still have a little ways to go, but definitely doable in the final quarter. The transition to Dansco albums is slow, but once I finish adding my new purchases, I can start going through my 2x2s and mint sets.


I found several good numismatic Christmas gifts for the family, and I'm planning another YN program for my community next year.

Not many updates. From July 1 till September 30, I haven't done any of the below.




I did add a few IHC.










Which let me upgrade a few coins in the IHC album.

My collecting interest is - Mexican numismatic medals.
So this year, I created a Facebook page of that name to foster interest in them and to provide a place to buy and sell them that is based in the United States.

Very nice!

@jbuck: in case you had not seen this:

Still nothing here, nearly 11 months in; these days the ongoing Hezbollah activity is making attempts to visit other cities quite unsafe even in non-northern directions.

There are some possible leads for the upcoming week, though (when I'm expecting to maybe visit Haifa early enough in the morning to possibly check out a coin store I've found on maps), and I can't yet rule out a brief return back to Moscow at the end of December (...though my current plans don't involve any coin store visits in there until, at least, the first few days of January).
...actually falling behind here; I got another few album pages of coins from relatives (and a few loose coins from my brother, who brought a bunch of unspent change from Estonia - sadly not Brazil, where he didn't end up with any), so I have about 300ish coins left to enter now (and at least another hundred in my circulation date set attempt).

However, this is now much lower priority anyway because Numista's new redesign made the website much lower priority for me in general.

As mentioned on my post from 3/29/24, I have NOT purchased any Canadian coins, even though I've been tempted several times.

The only item I'm still waiting for this year is the reverse proof AI dollars set from the US Mint. I UNsubscribed the various Peace dollars earlier this year, so I saved quite a few bucks there.

I did recently re-buy the 2023 P-D-S quarters. I had bought them by the roll last year from the Mint ($300.00), but I didn't feel like breaking the rolls open to get the ONE coin of each to put into by folders. Hopefully I'll be able to get my costs back for the rolls sometime in the future.
