What Are Your Collecting Goals For 2022?

1. Trade a Liberty Gold $20 for a St Gaudens Gold $20.
Might happen this Wednesday.

2. Photograph hundreds of duplicate Jefferson nickels and sell them.
( I say this every year )

3. Photograph my Jefferson nickel Set and keep them.
( I say this every year )

4. Trade for or buy a $3.00 Gold Princess

Heck , you guys must have some pretty deep pockets . I'm just going to continue buying OBW and BU rolls of all Lincoln Cents until my floors cave in .

Preliminary 2022 goals, to be updated at the start of 2022...

(Basically an extension of the 2021 goals.)


1) Get some more missing dates for my OFEY
1a) In particular, fill in the remaining post-1720 holes (2022, 1844, 1781, 1756, 1755, 1729, 1727, 1723, 1722)
1b) If possible, try to get an unbroken line even further back (good luck, I'm missing more than that in just 1720-1700)
1c) Take some pics of the more recent dates for How Far Back Can We Go 7th edition... older dates too if it has time to get that far

2) Related to the above: get some (more?) dated Islamic coins from the 15th century AD
2a) Non-Islamic dated (and/or single-year-type) coins from the 15th century AD would be welcome, but unlikely to fit within my budget
2b) Dated coins from before the 15th century are useful as well, though I already have a bunch of those

3) Get to 400 issuers on Numista (currently 393)
3a) Extension: get to 400 issuers without notgeld (currently 374)
3b) If possible, also get to 250 countries (currently 240)

4) Fill some of the remaining holes in my Dansco 7070 album
4a) In particular, get at least one more classic commemorative, and/or at least one more Seated Liberty silver
4b) If it shows up within my budget, get an Arrows & Rays quarter and/or half dollar, even though the 7070 doesn't have holes for them
4c) In theory, same for a CC mint coin (any denomination), but that's a long shot

5) Get at least one more coin for my Romanian type set attempt (...also figure out what I already have)
5a) If I can find some Mongolian coins I didn't have yet, that would be cool as well
5b) Same applies to Icelandic and Israeli coins... I forgot what other countries I'm trying to do a type set for. Belgium?

6) Formalize my USSR non-commemorative type set progress, figure out what (if anything) I'm still missing, and get it (...discounting the gold, which is out of my budget, and probably never circulated anyway)
6a) If that turns out to be easier than expected, try the (base metal) commemoratives too

7) Formalize my Russian Empire AE type set, and fill at least some of the holes
7a) Some more of the silvers would be nice as well (AFAIK there are too many rare ones to do any type set work)

8) If my interest in those coins continues into 2022, formalize my 18th/19th century Swedish AE type set attempt, and fill at least some of the holes
8a) Possibly do something similar with 19th and/or 20th century Portuguese coins

9) If prices manage to get back into a reasonable range, finally get a gold coin
9a) If I find any platinum within my budget, get that too

Hell! I'm hoping I can just collect me thoughts! My collection is what inspires me at that moment. I'm not hard set on numbers but more of what moves my heart. I hope I explained that right.

My goals:

1. Buy more coins.

2. Not to buy duplicates of coins I already own.

Number 1 is easy. Number 2 is getting harder.

My goal for 2022 will be the same as 2021 but hopefully better.

To have fun. collect new upgrades to what I currently have, and continue to learn and study about errors so I can better identify them for my collection.

I just want to collect and learn and most importantly have fun

Complete circulated date sets of Canadian 1 and 5 cents (minus 1921 5 cent). Thought I was done with the nickels but have picked up a few pre 1922 so will see how that goes. Large cent varieties and upgrades as I find them.
