1. Continue to acquire new dated or datable coins from the 15th Century. I currently have 30 years with empty slots, so it would be nice to fill two or three of those. Bonus points if I knock off any dates in the 14th Century.
2. Continue to acquire coins datable to a single decade. From present times going back to the year zero AD, I've got 22 empty slots. I'd like to fill four or five of those.
3. Only slightly out of scope for this discussion: be the best CCF moderator that I can be! Half-year update: Two years added for #1 One decade added for #2 Still working on #3...

Here is my Q3-2024 update: Quote:
1. Kingdom of The Netherlands type set.
2. Set of Provincial Coins (Utrecht) from The Dutch Republic.
3. Symphony Set of Coins (formerly "Set of Coins of Composers").
4. International Birthyear Set Collection.
5. Medals from Utrecht.
Only one commemorative coin is still missing from my Dutch type set. Once it shows up, the set is complete. Regarding #2, I plan to join several auctions in the future to hopefully expand that set. Recently bought a few coins for the Symphony Set. Will be shown on CCF when they have arrived. Same for #4. Unfortunately, haven't seen any medals from Utrecht lately that I like. |

@NumisEd, is there a place here where you are posting your Utrecht province type set? And I'm curious if it's a "denomnation" set (2, 6, 10 stuiver, guilder, 3 guilder, leeuwendaalder, rijksdaalder, etc.) or a more extensive type set?

@tdziemia, I am planning to assemble a Denomination Set of Utrecht, one of each type. Otherwise, it becomes too costly.
I have not yet posted these coins in a dedicated thread. I should do that soon, however.
