Checking in on 2013's goals.

So as we get ready to watch the ball drop on 2013, I wanted to go back and see how I did on my 2013 goals.

1. Crack the top 1500 sets. (Ranked 1356) Yaaaa!

2. Finish my Lincoln Cent collection. (With the exception of 1955 DDO) Yaaaaa!!

3. Finish my Ike collection. (65% complete)

4. Get to 33% completion on my Morgan collection. (16% complete. Halfway to that goal)

5. Keep Kennedy, Sacagawea and Presidential Dollar collections up to date. (Complete) Yaaaa!!

6. Finish my Commemorative Half collection. (81% Complete but gaining steam)

7. Extend my Commemorative Dollar collection. Any percentage of completion is fine. (Did not add to this collection)

8. Attend at least one major Baltimore show. (I went to the Summer Whitman Show) Yaaa!

9. Save up money to attend the 2014 January FUN show. (Will not happen unfortunately)

10. Start a Silver American Eagle Set. (Added two Eagles, one of which is no longer part of the set....) Yaaa!

So, in all I completed 5 out of 10 of my goals. Not too bad, considering I was out of work longer than I expected after the move. On the last day of the year, here is my list of goals for 2014.

1. Make reservations to attend the 2015 FUN Convention.

2. Finish my Commemorative Half Dollar collection.

3. Finish my Ike Dollar collection.

4. Add at least 7 coins to each set of Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Commemorative Dollars and Silver Eagles.

5. Attend ANA Worlds Fair of Money in August.

6. Participate in a live auction.

7. Take Lincoln and Jefferson proof sets to 50% completion.

8. Find a Maryland coin club.

9. Start a Buffalo Nickel Short Set.

10. Complete a 20th Type Set Coin folder for my 2 year old niece.

Lots of coins to collect there. I worry about the Chicago trip. I have never had a good experience flying into Chicago. Most of what I have seen of the airport has been at a full sprint from flight delays.

Happy collecting and Happy New Year everyone. I hope your year is full of good health and small round metal.
