january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5047 Posts	Posted 12/31/2024 5:17 pm It's 2025 here now, so I might as well write my final reports for this... Quote: Quote: For now my plan for [2024] is the same as [my plan for 2023 and] my last plan for 2022: find and visit a coin store (and/or a coin fair), and hopefully buy some coins from there. Has yet to happen (though I did find a few inexpensive coins at a local market), but there's a lot of the year still left. Still nothing here, nearly 11 months in; these days the ongoing Hezbollah activity is making attempts to visit other cities quite unsafe even in non-northern directions. There are some possible leads for the upcoming week, though (when I'm expecting to maybe visit Haifa early enough in the morning to possibly check out a coin store I've found on maps), and I can't yet rule out a brief return back to Moscow at the end of December (...though my current plans don't involve any coin store visits in there until, at least, the first few days of January). There was a truce up north shortly after that post, but even then, over the remaining month, I never got around to visiting coin stores in either Haifa or Zefat. It wasn't clear if I would visit some after all right up until the last day, but ultimately it just never worked out. Still hoping to visit some in the next few weeks, though... but Moscow had been postponed until at least February and more likely April. Quote: Quote: Unexpected additional goal: actually enter all the random foreign coins I got from relatives into my Numista collection. I was going to do that in January but somehow never actually got around to any actual entering after the first... maybe five or six coins. There's about 200 coins in the queue by now. ..actually falling behind here; I got another few album pages of coins from relatives (and a few loose coins from my brother, who brought a bunch of unspent change from Estonia - sadly not Brazil, where he didn't end up with any), so I have about 300ish coins left to enter now (and at least another hundred in my circulation date set attempt). However, this is now much lower priority anyway because Numista's new redesign made the website much lower priority for me in general. No change here; I'm still a bit lowkey-annoyed at Numista's new style, and I have no short-term plans to enter my local collection there. Probably should, though. Report this Post to the Staff

I take my (relative) personal safety for granted. Quote: 3. Continue work on Numista catalog. 4Q: Now at 1603 coins added to the catalog, probably with few more to be added by year's end. There was a year-end push to hit the 400,000 milestone, so I wound up the year with my total at 1635, or close to 500 for the year (with over 20 listings for medieval Italy still in the hopper awaiting approval).

CollegeBarbers Pillar of the Community United States 2179 Posts	Posted 01/01/2025 5:43 pm Quote: 1. Spend more time enjoying and looking at my collection, rather than focusing exclusively on filling holes. Use this time to narrow my collecting focus and figure out what items I'd like to sell, trade, or give away. Overall I spent more time with my collection in 2024, but mostly with cataloging my new purchases and transitioning to Dansco albums. Rather than narrow my collecting focus, I've expanded it rather dramatically, and I need to scale back and refocus for 2025. Quote: 2. Fill one hole in each of my Barber dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Washington quarter sets. 3. Fill one hole in my Mint Sets. 4. Buy or trade for 2-5 modern US coins on my Want List. 5. Complete another year in my First Spouse bronze medal series set. All complete! Quote: 6. Continue updating my storage options and photo inventory. Keep existing inventory up to date with new purchases. Another mixed bag here. The transition to Dansco albums has been slow, but not nothing. I've done a decent job of keeping up with inventorying new purchases. Yet there is still a backlog for 2025. Quote: 7. Encourage family members to become numismatists. I gave multiple numismatic gifts for Christmas and led several programs for young numismatists in my community this year. My 7070 type set My want list My trade list Report this Post to the Staff
