I don't often do New Year's Resolutions because they never work out. Mostly because we tend to make unrealistic resolutions.

But that doesn't mean we don't make some plans for the upcoming year.

So here are some of my 2017 goals.

1. Add to my British Penny and Netherlands Cent collection.

2. Get any USA Commemorative half dollars minted during the year in Proof and Uncirculated.
(Just keeping my collection complete with these).

3. Add to my uncirculated US Quarter collection.

4. Explore the coins of San Marino more than I have in the past.

5. Continue my collection of USA Mint uncirculated sets.

6. Add a few pages to WOC's WOT. Maybe Sacher tokens and Schwertner tokens.

7. Take two cruises.  Have one booked Feb 5 and need to try for another in August maybe.

8. Build a Craftsman style Sideboard and Hutch.

9. Have a Salsa garden.

10. See my grandchildren more...maybe one of them will eventually inherit all my collection.
Not likely for them to get interested but I can hope.

That's enough to start with.

My new year goals (purely numismatic):

1. Complete the €2 commemorative collection (I guess I'm missing only some of the 2016 issues, so this shouldn't be a problem)

2. To add the missing Greek (euro) collector coins to the collection: This is perhaps very optimistic aim. Probably won't make it as I'm missing quite a few. I don't collect all of them, but the ones I'm missing are still quite large in number!

3. To get couple of Austrian €25 silver-niobium collector coins which are still in affordable range. The expensive ones are unlikely to be mine in near future. :(

4. To complete the Japanese 500 Yen Prefectures series. Missing only a few, so should be achievable.

5. Try hard to accomplish goals 1, 2, 3 and 4 listed above. ;)

I tend to forget my new year goals before January is out, but I promised myself to make a list of indexes on WoC and see which are updated or not. Sometime this year :)

For myself, I have no numeric numismatic goals. I want to add some chapters to my ebook on Uzbek numismatics, but wonder if I'll have the time and energy.

My goals:

1. Continue to add to WoT, specifically Swedish transport.

2. Find a subject I can present to the token section of GNF when it's my turn... My head is currently blank.

3. Add to my collection  ;D

Some of my numismatic goals for 2017:

1. Found and buy the 500 dirhams 2009 bimetallic gold/silver coin from Morocco.
2. To buy all the trimetallic gold 1 crown coins from Isle of Man or Gibraltar.
3. To complete my Vatican and San Marino 2 euro coins.

Special mention goal: Finish, print and sell my self-made paperback Catalog of Bimetallic coins.

Grtz!  ;)

Aren't there some machine tokens (Bally ???) used in the UK as well as Sweden? Another commonality are the tokens hammered in the Yorvik museum.

That's quite ambitious, I must say! :o ;)

Fruit machine tokens was one possibility (including the Bell Fruit ones intended for, or overstruck for, the Scandi market), as are UK transport tokens since I've acquired some more since I last covered that topic.

One important criterion is that I need to have a reasonable variety of tokens related to the topic in hand to show. I don't have any Yorvik tokens (though I do have the full set of Ironbridge ones).

It doesn't have to be British tokens either - last time it was my turn I did US tax tokens.

Well, if anything goes, how about a demo of World of Tokens on a portable computer, making sure they understand it's Wiki software, so everyone can contribute or edit? Maybe you could also make a plea for help or pictures? BTW, pages in Swedish are OK.
