 I'm glad you have a complete set. An album looks very nice when every hole is full!!  I also think you did alright price wise. Now, I believe your collection is worth what you paid, if not a touch more. I also agree with Dansco Albums being about as neutral to coin corrosion/toning as you can get, so you should be fine in this aspect. Your key coins, with a only a quick glance, all appear around a G-4/6 grade. That should help you determine what they might be worth. |

Awesome! Btw, what are the albums that cause that intense rainbowing? I've always wondered

It's a great set.
My OCD says you need to get all the coins straightened back out in the album so all of the dates are oriented to the bottom where they belong!
And whether you buy a complete set or buy them one at a time, you are still buying them. No one is completing this set from circulation. So, you can make it "your" set by upgrading, etc.

Ya, I'm thinking of upgrading the keys to au/xf but I'm leary having them raw in an album... I'm still more of an investment collector but the winds might be a change'n

Greattttttttttt set. Nice going. However, one thing I really hate about Dansco, that last page full of blanks. Just can't figure out why Dansco can't figure out how many slots it takes to make an Album.
I too filled a set. Now you too will have to start upgrading one coin at a time.

Very nice set of Walkers! As already mentioned, time to start upgrading and what I'm doing (and I'm not even complete) is rotating duplicate coins to old Library of Coins albums. Nothing looks better than classic coins in a classic album.  |

The 38D is also a more valuable date, I was just giving general coins to watch for. But the 38D is a curious coin, Yes it is a better date. But it is one of those coins can be bought at less then most price guides list price. If your looking XF grade or better, all the 1919's are good and the coins from 1923 S through 1933 S, will have some good price tags. |

I got a 1929-S and 1928-D in EF condition and these are nice coins as well. It is hard as heck to get the first page in EF or even VF condition without breaking the bank. 1916-S in EF is worth almost what the entire 1940's are worth. I have three coins to go to complete my Walker collection and you did it for $1000. You did good.

The dies Dansco uses to punch album pages are all set to fill the page with a full set of holes regardless of the denomination or how many coins are in any series. It just is not cost effective to have pages with any fewer holes. To do so would mean they would have to make up a LOT of additional dies to punch out just one page for a particular album. Just look at that last page as a place to put duplicates or varieties. |

Congratulations on your set. The Walking Liberty half is one of my favorite sets that I have been upgrading since my original collection. and yes the early dated are expensive in my goal of XF or better.  |

What did the 1916-S in EF condition set you back Muddler? I am looking for one right now. Looking for 1921 and 1921-D as well. I see some on ebay and they are just smooth, thin placeholders. |

First Page
too bad I didn't get the joy of doing it myself but I do have delusions of grandeur on completing a second sunny wood collection to rival the first though! (someday over the rainbow maybe)... BTW here are first page closeups for u &... nobody has chimed in on if this is a high sulfur album that will rainbow my uncircs towards the rear?
