terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 7:56 pm I completed my Liberty Walker collection with a 1921-D that was in VF condition. I got a deal on it because I traded in a 1926-S Peace dollar and a 1916 Liberty Walker in good condition. I was really choking for some reason when it came to filing in the last two coins which were 1921 and 21-D. Now I would like to get me a better 1938-D than what I have. It is onward and upward with the Peace dollars. Perhaps I will also collect the Mercury dimes and Liberty Standing quarters. I like the 20th Century coins. What does the group thing about the Franklin halves and Roosevelt dimes. These are silver coins. Even the Washington quarters are silver until 63-64. I know they made a lot to them but they are cheap to me. The Buffalo nickels also are talking to me. These are the coins I tried to collect in my youth. Now I am an old geezer and want some short term goals. What could be better than to collect these unique coins? When I start to take my IRA and take distributions from my annuity perhaps I will collect the double eagles. I have focused on just one coin at a time so far. Do most of you guys collect multiple coins at the same time or just one or two? When I collect just one it is easy to get anxious about filling in the holes and pay too much.

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7191 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 8:19 pm Congratulations on your walker set. I still am void the 21 and 21 d but am not settling for a lower grade example for my set. Good luck on your next set. Report this Post to the Staff
terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 8:21 pm I started with the most common Walkers and then it became an obsession. I am afraid to start collections because I know I will feel driven to complete them heh, heh. What the heck, I could be spending my money at the track or speculating in gold mining shares. Least I have something tangible at the end. It keeps me broke and out of trouble. Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 9:40 pm I collect similar coins. I would definitly start your mercs if you love walkers. They are so closely related in time period and having the same designer. Walkers just wear a little harder then then mercs. I collected mercs and silver Rosie's first. Rosie's are fun cause if you like circulated you can get them at 1.40 apiece and are widely available at all dates. I might get into franklins myself but only because my friend wants out and I can get 10 of them at the price a dealer would. Edited by Bertensgrad 04/14/2015 9:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 9:59 pm Nice work ... completing your Walker set. I still need several. Picking another series, can be a hard choice. Many of the classic sets will have several harder key/semi key coins. The Mercury dime set, is not a bad set. Depending on which brand album you buy there is three main coins. 1916D, 1921 and 1921D. Seems like there is one brand of album that needs a 1942/1 and 1942/1D. Indian Head/Buffalo nickel has several expensive coins. And most of the early coins are hard to locate in better grades. One set I have been working... slowly working, is 2 1/2 gold Indian set. It is a short set and only has one hard date coin. It looks great in a Capital coin holder. Or some will do the set in graded slabs. The set, not counting proof coins, is 15 coins. Each coin might run from $190 to $300, except the 1911D which lists $565 in G4 to $4500 in AU. I have 6 different dates right now .. but for me it is a long term project. The coins are about the size of a dime. Here is a example. Report this Post to the Staff
terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 10:29 pm That gold Indian is a beautiful coin. I might check that out. The Mercury dimes are one of my favorites. I will probably do one set at a time. I get focused on a particular coin. You know any gold coin is probably a deal now. Report this Post to the Staff

carnold744 Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 12:37 pm GR58, what kinds of grades/prices are you looking for in your set? I've been doing pretty extensive research of Buffalo nickel prices lately, so I could probably give you a decent idea of how that will go. Report this Post to the Staff
