hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 2:48 pm I like to do a recap of my year collecting, so today I'll revisit 2021. If 2020 could be summed up, it was the year I got serious about US currency. HFJacinto's Killer US Currency Collection If 2021 could be summed up, it isn't so easy. Yes I got serious with the 7070. HFJacinto's Killer 7070 Collection I picked up some great coins: I rediscovered a love for the country I was born in. Both in coins. HFJacinto's Killer Coins of Portugal Collection To Currency But there wasn't an overwhelming focus, I took a detour to get the Morgan and Peace dollars. I stopped the 7070 at the end of the year as everything left was not at a price/visual appeal range that I had to finish it at the moment. I almost completed a 20th century set (well 81% was already part of the 7070). HFJacinto's Killer Coins of the 20th Century I also realized that I'm not a fan of JFK 50 cents. So does this mean I matured as a collector, I don't think so. I still buy items that I find visually appealing. Whether its slabbed. or raw. I was recently asked when I was going to get "serious" in my collecting goals, and the answer I'm going to collect what I like, in the end its my collection. As to 2022, I'll revisit in 2023, as my goals may change. Thanks all for following my journey.

When you're other hobby, involves a telescope, motorized focuser, a guide scope, a monochrome camera, a filter wheel, 7 different filter, multiple nights of taking pictures (all the time following the movement of the sky), a mount and a sequence to capture all that data... And then taking those hundreds of pictures, combining the false color images into an object you like... And then combining the images into a different color pallet (RGB on top and Hubble Pallet below) Taking pictures of a coin that doesn't move isn't that hard My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Edited by hfjacinto 01/03/2022 7:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Comet Leonard was very low in the Horizon, followed by almost 2 weeks of clouds. I did capture comet Neowise back in 2019.
