I think my main goal is to actually join PCGS and send some coins in... I've got a few errors and sentimental pieces I'd like to see slabbed. A video interview with the President of PCGS conducted at the 2026 ANA Convention included news that PCGS would be modifying requirements for submission, including eliminating the membership requirement. The interview did not include timelines. . . |

No specific goals - just buying what I think is a good deal with the possibility of selling for a bit of a profit.

2026 Goal: Acquire every rarity (around URS-5/Sheldon R-7) in my exceedingly specialized field that comes to market.
3Q26: No progress/no rarities came to market that I needed.
I did pick up a nice 1492 kortling & a battleship note for my Dad at the ANA, though, & got to meet up with the big name author in early dateds.

My collection runs the gamet of most collectable coins, like one for each denomination, of modern coins that is. So to focus on a certain variety I'm going to collect Lincoln Cents. Joanne  |

I could have sworn I posted this late September when I knew I didn;t have any further auctions planned. Good quarter (much to the dismay of my wallet ). Goals: 1. Sell off a couple of small collections that we've lost interest in: my wife's Tudor/Stuart OFER collection, and parts of my Duchy of Lorraine collection. CNG will sell the small (13 coin) Tudor/Stuart collection in November.2. Continue to grow collection and knowledge of saints on medieval coins; collaborate with spence on 3d article in series on this topic. There are a couple of specific coins on my watch list...otherwise I'm a bit opportunistic. 1Q/2Q: Added coins of St. Ubaldus (Gubbio), St. Januarius (Naples), St. Vitalis (Parma), St. Gregory (Kingdom of Bosnia), St. Michael (Byzantine). 3Q: Added St. Erculanus (Perugia), St. Erasmus (Duchy of Gaeta), St. Demetrius (Byzantine), St. Theobald (Bishopric of Thann) and a very early St. John (c.1100) from Wroclaw, Poland3. Continue to add early dated/datable coins in the 11th to 15th c. that mesh with other collecting themes. 1Q/2Q: Added a dateable 1312 of Florence and dated 1483 of Brabant. 3Q: Added Sicilian denari dateable to 1228 and 1249, and Florentine denari dateable to 1324 and 13314. Continue contributing at Numista. 1Q/2Q: Added 135 listings, mostly Low Countries, Italian States/Papal, Venetian Colonies and Gemany 3Q: Added 80 listings in Low Countries, Italy, Byzanine Empire, GermanyIn 3Q I surpassed both number of coins and total spend of 2025. I guess that makes it a good year  Edited by tdziemia
