2014 Collecting Goals

dcoin · January 02, 2014, 03:51:50 PM

As per the title what are your coin collecting goals for 2014, is it to buy a 1925 penny to complete your collection, upgrade a florin set, buy a 1966 proof set, find a nice Australian/World sovereign, find a gem canberra florin (trout) or maybe it's to sell part of your collection and focus on another area.

The gem Canberra is on my list (I have all the others) the proc coins are a target this year plus more sovs :ok:

My goal is to corner the market on WWI pilot caps, turning them into a Uni-Vuitton luxury accessory range once all the sovs are removed.

....hmmm .... and maybe noodle a mule or a wavy if that doesn't work out .....

I am gradually cornering the market on old rusted tobacco tins so Uni and I can start a dynasty. :dodgy:

When I first read the title of this thread I thought EXACTLY the same thing. You might have to fight me for them Uni!

My goal is to pickup an unc dollar starnote but the catch is it mustn't have been fiddled with. I wrote a wantlist years ago and came across it again last year. It's interesting to see where you're at a bit further down the track and what you thought was important may not be so much anymore.

what is your goal dcoin?

Goldseeker · January 02, 2014, 05:49:18 PM

Mine is to maintain what I already have and continue with new issues.

If certain coins turn up, gold sovs, half etc and I have the cash, then I shall buy otherwise I shall pass.

I might consider downsizing somewhat but if I do, I do not want cash for the sales but gold or silver bullion.

Get some more books/magazines hopefully, and anything good that comes my way. Nothing specific really.

To find a nice 1955 proof halfpenny, it's the one coin I need to complete my collection, which is a little frustrating. There are a few poor ones out there that turn up, however, hopefully a nice one is for sale at some point this year.

Work on my 'clockface' of 2001 rotated $1 coins

well how about that - I didn't realise that the halfpenny was made in proof for 1955
I have a penny (M) and didn't know to look for the matching half-p

have fun doing that AC

Goldseeker · January 02, 2014, 10:54:18 PM

Hey Ozcoins-How many have you got?

Ozcoins · January 03, 2014, 12:04:46 AM

I have found 4, been given 1 by a forum member and bought 3 from another forum member.
I have not looked closely enough at them to work out which are 'right' (or even 'close' to right) for a point on the clockface.
I figure it's going to take quite a few, and I still need to sort out proper measurements, but I am happy with the progress so far.
