I forgot to add two more purpose.
4)Finish my album with US National Parks
5)Start collecting "American innovations" . I can say that I have completely finished my plans for this year. I put together a set of "beautiful America" and laid the foundation for "innovation". I do not know why I skipped New Jersey, I remember buying coins in order. Of course I will continue to fill the album with innovations, maybe I will do it right now.   |

I have a few things I am trying to purchase, just need to see if I can sell anything that doesn't fit into my collection. Hopefully to be updated before 12/31. So no updates yet.

My collecting goals for the rest of 2022:
1) Find a coin store in Israel (preferably up north) that I can buy coins (and/or banknotes) from at affordable price, and hopefully actually buy some
2) Find some more circulating commemorative coins in change (1 so far)
3) Write down the circulating date list for current Israeli coinage, start collecting it by date
4) Figure out how to separate my previous and new collections on my Numista account
My main coin collection remains in Moscow, where (most of) it will stay for the foreseeable future; there had been almost no change to it since my last report.
Goals for 2023 are on hold until I find out what Israeli coin shop inventory looks like, and/or whether I am in fact going to return to Moscow.

@j1m, it sounds like a pretty big life change for you! Best of luck. I think my year is complete, so here goes 1. Add early dated coins or coins attributable to a specific date from the 15th c. (similar to @j1m's goal). The "guardrails" on this hunt are to keep within my existing collecting themes (Low Countries, coins with images of saints, Poland). 1Q: Florence grosso (1405). 2Q: Florence grosso (1483), Utrecht guilder (1464), and a Venetian soldo (1485-1486). 3Q: Hungarian denars (1469), (1470). 4Q: Brabant double gros (1409 and 1419)
Note: none actually dated, all attributable to a single year2. Same goal for 14th century (and earlier if possible) where I am missing 1390s, 1350s, 1320s, 1310s. 1Q: Florentine grosso (1347) None since. 3. Continue to selectively build my collection of coins with images of saints. 1Q: Saint Barbara (Duchy of Mantova) 2Q: Saint Crescentius (Duchy of Urbino), Savinus (Duchy of Castro), Martin (Bishopric of Utrecht) 3Q: St. Eugenius, Theodore and Mary (Byzantium), St. Maurice (Bishopric of Vienne, France), St. Boniface (Frisia) 4Q. St. Nicholas (Fribourg)4. Continue to build the Numista catalog for medieval Low Countries. I got involved in this in the second half of last year, so it wasn't on my 2021 goals. As an annual round-up, I've added over 400 coins to the catalog this year, mostly in medieval Low Countries, Spanish Netherlands, Dutch Republic and Italian States (Aquileia, Brescia, Ferrara, Mantova, Papal States). And indeed, that has helped reduce my spending on coins  . Edited by tdziemia

My goals for 2022 haven't changed much from 2021:
1. Get the rest of the Canadian and US 2021 coins I need and look for 2022 coins once they are out. Still looking for a few 2021-D and 2022-D coins. Also missing most of the 2022 U.S. quarters. Quote:
2. Work on getting more Canadian Victorian silver. I'm chipping away at this slowly and selectively. I did add a handful of coins. Quote:3. Continue to build out my Morgan dollar collection, focusing on higher grade nicely toned New Orleans mint issues. This was not an area of focus this year. The main reason is that Canadian dealers don't have much selection and U.S. shipping is often quite high. Quote:
4. Expand my banknote collection into US $1 notes. Similar to #3, dealers in Canada don't have much at all. Quote:
5. Continue to stoke my kids and nephews' interest in coins. I took my older daughter to three coin shows and she got to participate in two kids coin auctions. Quote:
6. Be on the lookout for medals that are on my list. Mainly British monarch coronation medals. I picked up a number of medals this year, mainly from UK-based auctions. I also invested substantially in my numismatic library by purchasing all three British Historical Medals books and the British Commemorative Medals book as well as a couple of specialty medal books. Other accomplishments: • Joined the ANA• Was a dealer at my local club show for the first time • Attended my first RCNA convention as an attendee |
