What Are Your 2026 Numismatic Collecting Goals?

Good luck!

I haven't posted as I was working on my other hobbies, I recently started back and honestly, my want list is pretty expensive lately, so I'll work on the following:
1)Try to add the missing coins to my slabbed IHC (have 6 missing and 4 I want to upgrade to AU +), the ones missing will take a while so I'll post when I do the majority of the ones I have missing.
2) Still missing the 1893 and 1895 Morgan. As these are the same price as the missing IHC, I'll get what I find at a price I think is good first.
3) The missing paper money and money from Portugal is also up there $$$, so for the rest of the year, this maybe on hold.

Thank you for the advice, re: the rubberbands on the Mint OGP boxes. I don't have any rubber bands in contact with any of my coins (lesson learned from a baseball card collecting experience decades ago). Sounds like the bands could discolor the packaging.
On the ASE's, the bands are holding the two or three items from a given year. . .Sounds like I should remove them and come up with a different solution for keeping the lids & boxes of those older ASE's together. . .the current USM OGP -- outer sleeve / inner box and lid -- design works much better.

Will update the 2026 Goals at the end of Q3.

My pleasure, cptbilly and get on it, MNP!

For some reason I haven't posted in this thread for over 6 months.
I am currently working on the following:

1. Curacao & The Netherlands Antilles set. - I am missing a couple of commemoratives which I should be able to pick up when I visit family in Europe again next year.
2. Provincial Coins of Utrecht. - I hope to see a few of these at the upcoming World's Fair of Money in Pittsburgh. Though you gotta get lucky to find any decent looking examples.
3 Music related coins and notes. - Still looking for a 5,000,000 Mark note from Heidelberg featuring Walther von der Vogelweide.
4. Birthyear Set Collection. - Moving ahead slowly.
5. Sell coins from the Baltics related to music. They don't appeal to me as much as they did before. - No progress on this front. I'm not in a hurry.

Better late than never. Thank you for the update.

Do not beat yourself up. I could have been more clear.

Which is even more brutal this year!
