1) Search 1,000 boxes of half dollars.
2) Find a barber dime.
3) Grow my copper cent hoard to 1 ton (currently at 875 pounds).
4) Find a pre 1900 U.S. coin.
After next week's pickups I will only be at 950 half boxes for 2012, so that was a miss. My copper hoard currently stands at 1,625 pounds, so that was a miss. I was able to find 4 pre 1900 Indian head pennies, and an 1871 seated liberty dime, so I did good on that one.
That brings us to the barber dime. Finally after 26 months and 1,291 boxes of dimes, box #1,292 yielded a 1906 barber dime.

The funny thing is, that box #1,293 yielded an 1899 O barber dime.


Happy holidays to everyone, and I hope 2013 sees everyone reach all their goals.
