thedeadpoint Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Finish my Liberty Head Nickel set 1883 to 1912 XF to MS-65 may have to go to Fine+ on the 1885, 1886 and 1912s All of the V nicks I see out there are either lower than XF or in the mid MS or higher range. I'm trying to stick to XF-AU/low MS to have a good looking but cheap set (i tend to spend more than i should, why not just settle for a lower grade set once). How easy was it for you to find those coins in the XF/AU range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianhead Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 My collecting goals are as follows, I want to complete the sets that I'm working on now. Once I finish my Indian head cents, "V" Nickels, Buffalo Nickels, Barber Dimes, Barber Quarters, Standing Liberty Quarters, Walking Liberty Halves and get most of the Morgans I want to start a collection of Seated Liberty Half Dimes, which should be by next summer sometime. After that I'm going after the King of Siam proof set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 You are all so specific about your collecting goals. All I want to do is search, collect, fill albums, share finds and help others with whatever I can, and HAVE FUN! Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 All I want to do is search, collect, fill albums And just how do you decide which to fill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 And just how do you decide which to fill? Right now it is Lincoln cents and slowly graduating to nickels, dimes and quarters. Maybe someday get involved with earlier US coinage. Most of all I like the search... sort of like finding a very distant ancestor or relative when I am doing genealogy... or finding the best specimen you have ever seen when I go out rock hunting. Conversing with others like you about the coins and banknotes and the world from which they evolved helps me to learn more about world history... including ours.

Dan769 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 It's all in my sig. Plus wrapping up my Dansco U.S. Type Set. In a dry spell have bought a coin in over 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I want one of every type of coin ever minted...that should keep me occupied for a bit. Now that is being a glutten. Now myself, I only want one of every type of US coin ever minted. See, I'm being logical and reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectin_coins Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Finish my indian head nickel set, get to V nickel set, also finish my lincoln cent set. Buy as many half cents as I can afford. I like the AU/low MS idea for the V nickel set, probably wont get the 84/85 in that grade though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
