What are some of your goals for your collection in 2008?

Below are my goals:

  • Complete my Uncirculated American Silver Eagle Set (9 more needed)
  • Complete my U.S. Proof Set collection 1960 - 2007 (7 more needed)
  • Work on Completing my Commemorative Silver Dollar Proof Collection (19 more needed)
  • Catalog and image all of my current collection into ExactChange.
  • Look for Bi-Metallic coins to increase my collection ( I love Bi-Metallic Coins. )
  • Sell off my duplicates and miscellaneous coins
  • Complete my U.S. Eisenhower dollar collection
  • Start a U.S. Peace Silver Dollar Collection.
  • Work on my 1oz Silver Chinese Panda collection (11 more needed)
  • Also purchase any other coins that I find that I like.
  • Sell off all of my collected paper money

Wow, your goals are about as long as mine.

Every year I try to finish my Mercury, Washington, Jefferson, Eisenhower, Lincoln, and Kennedy collection.

I would also like to finally start a Barber and Franklin half collection.

A easier goal for me is to stay up to date with the Presidential dollars.

My goal is to continue to work on my Dansco 7070. The Draped Bust cent is next on my radar lists. I also want to increase my numismatic library.

My goals:

Completely finish my Lincoln BU set from 59 up w/proofs.
Work slowly on getting AU/BU wheaties, maybe 1 or 2 keys.
Start a Dansco Presidential album.
Get the normal Mint issues (silver proof set, ASE etc..)
Get the 2 type 2 SBA to finish my set.
Start selling some misc/duplicate coins on ebay.
Learn to grade lincolns alot more then I know now ;)
Master taking pictures of my coins, eventually catalog them like Clearwater mentioned.
Most important, keep my niece and nephew interested in Coin collecting :) :)

The goals will never end.

Selling dupes should be my first priority. But, I'd like to start a second 7070 with high quality coins - a work in progress that may never be finished; Buy a Flowing hair half; Continue and add to my ASE collection; add early Lincolns; Upgrade IHC; Start to think about some gold.

Goals ? oooops !! I knew there was something I was supposed to be thinking about ! Dang it !
uuhhh........ well.......buy smarter and focus more on better specimans. I love shiny objects !
I have the willpower of Coach Mangino (Kansas) in a Chinese buffet........ so likely I'll continue to "hoard" and worry about "sorting and cataloging" later !
