Not a lot of progress in the first three months; I've gone to a few coin fairs in late February/early March, but since then I hadn't gone anywhere, and with the economy being what it is I'm not even sure it's worth going.
Or, for that matter, whether some of what I was intending to go there for is still legal to buy...
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) 1844, 1756 added.
1b) Try to fill in the other post-1700 gaps as well (1719, 1716, 1714, 1712, 1711, 1709, 1708, 1705, 1702, 1701, 1700) None of those, and I'm not even sure about 1719.
1c) If possible, try to get an unbroken line even further back (good luck, it gets really bad past 1700) I think I added a few more 17th century dates, but otherwise, yeah, good luck with that.
1d) 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 7th edition is stalling, but I really should get around to that just in case.
2) Related to the above: get some (more?) dated Islamic coins from the 15th century AD Not that I can recall.
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 Lol no.
2b) Dated coins from before the 15th century are useful as well, though I already have a bunch of those A few ancients, I think.
3) Get to 400 issuers on Numista (currently 393) This one is completed at 402.
3a) Extension: get to 400 issuers without notgeld (currently 374) Now up to 383; German principalities don't count as notgeld.
3b) If possible, also get to 250 countries (currently 240) Still 240; not a lot of opportunities to add more.
3c) Get to 500 issuers on Numista (currently 402)
4) Get to 400 banknote issuers on Numista (currently 266) 271.
4a) Alternate version: get to 200 banknote issuers without notgeld (currently 135, I think; I have a lot of notgeld) None of the five new issuers were notgeld, so 140?
4b) Also get to 150 banknote countries (currently 119) 124. I really should make a list of what I don't have yet.
5) Fill some of the remaining holes in my Dansco 7070 album Not yet, alas.
5a) In particular, get at least one more classic commemorative, and/or at least one more Seated Liberty silver None of those.
5b) 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 Good luck with that.
5c) In theory, same for a CC mint coin (any denomination), but that's a long shot Not in this economy.
6) Get at least one more coin for my Romanian type set attempt (...also figure out what exactly I still don't have) Working on it. The listing of what I don't have, I mean.
6a) If I can find some Mongolian coins I didn't have yet, that would be cool as well Doesn't look like I got any. But I'd probably need a listing too at this point.
6b) Same applies to Icelandic and Israeli coins... I forgot what other countries I'm trying to do a type set for. Belgium? Yeah some listings would really help.
7) 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) Stuck at "formalize". And the 1924 ruble will be tricky.
7a) If that turns out to be easier than expected, try the (base metal) commemoratives too See above.
8) Formalize my Russian Empire AE type set, and fill at least some of the holes Did fill some holes, formalization pending.
8a) Some more of the silvers would be nice as well (AFAIK there are too many rare ones to do any type set work) Doesn't look like I got any.
9) Formalize my 18th/19th century Swedish AE type set attempt, and fill at least some of the holes No new Swedish coins since January 9th, I think.
9a) If my brief interest into those coins shows up again in 2022, do something similar with 19th and/or 20th century Portuguese coins Too early to tell at the moment, but might as well try to make a list at some point.
10) If prices manage to get back into a reasonable range, finally get a gold coin Not in this economy.
10a) If I find any platinum within my budget, get that too Definitely not in this economy.
10b) Can I manage a non-MT thaler? This actually seems doable compared to the last two? But not yet.
11) Add some more ancient coins to my collection, especially in areas where I'm still lacking Yup.
11a) Add at least one more of the first 17 Roman emperors (Julius Caesar to Marcus Aurelius) Would you believe Galba?
11b) Add at least one more 5th century Roman emperor and/or empress (I already have most of the common ones so this will be hard) Marcian, which was the last common one left, I think?
11c) Finally get a 6th century BC coin Not in this economy.
12) Get a coin from each decade up to 1500 (currently missing: 1680s, 1600s?, 1580s, 1540s, 1500s) Nothing from this period.
12a) Also figure out which decades I'm missing in the 15th and 14th centuries, and fix the gaps if possible A project for later. Starting with identifying some of my Islamic coins.
TL/DR: a bunch of nice ancients (which don't really show up on the goals), a bunch of neat German States stuff, otherwise mostly stymied by political problems.

... Me complete my 
with the 1909-S, found the 1839 head of 1840 large cent 
(both of these on the same day from a very nice coin dealer) and a smattering of other nice finds along the way. My world set is up to 229 countries so far, and I upgraded several countries with higher value ones.
