I think this is in the correct spot on the forums. Soooo, being a super newb at this, I would like to know what your goals are for 2018!! I have been doing a ton of reading and research on coinage and bills, I love hunting for them. I am also a rockhound since day 1, and it has led me here to coins and metal detecting as well as learning on how to stack. I am not one to buy stuff, if I feel I can do it myself (I'm a big DIY'er, so it's the same for me with coins.) So, my goals for 2018: 1. Learn as much as I can on errors and varieties and get better at spotting them vs. machine errors (which I seem to find, no problem!)  2. Find a War Nickel, an indian head, and a benjamin.  3. Stack some silver this year (bullion.) I have no amount set yet as I have to sit down and do the budget.  4. Find a monster agate! >1# Not a coin, but can bring in some ching to then find more coin!  Is there anything in particular you are looking to find or get this year?! |

1. Attempt to finalize my FSB Mercury dime #1 Album. 2. Start Mercury dime Albums #13 and #14. 3. Stop collecting coins and spend the money on something else.   4. Number 3 above just never happens. |

Yes very good question! Here is a link to the thread in the ancient's section of CCF where we tackled this exact question specifically for our particular area of numismatics: http://goccf.com/t/303027"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

just_carl: #3 is always tough I have found! I just started and since the snow is knee deep or above, I am finding myself constantly asking for halves and dollar coins or buying rolls of change instead. LOL!  Bud250r: I am no where near that kind of collecting!! Good luck though!!  Spence: Thanks for the link, that was meant for ancient coins though. But I would love to find an Emperor Trajan coin! My youngest is named after him! That's something I would have to buy and I wouldn't have the foggiest of ideas on where to start!  shotgun: I'll race ya!!  |

@FG, yep sorry that I wasn't more clear. I added this link to show you how some others have answered this question in case you don't hang out over there very often. I don't expect that many Roman coins are found CRHing so yes, picking up a Trajan would be a purchase. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

1934-S WLH in 64 to finish my medium date set 34-47.
1935-D Peace in 65 to finish my 35 date set.
2 1/2 Indian in 64 for my type set.
MS-66 Peace for my type set.
No Motto St. Gauden in 66, so 1908 I'm sure, for type.
At least a few other type coins that I might have but that need upgrading.

@ just carl  I seem to have the same problem as your #3 I need to sell some lower grade hole fillers and upgrade. Mostly. I haven't ever sold so it will be a new experience for sure. |
