Thanks for the support. You guys encourage me to keep going!
Dansco only has 13 holes left. The goal is complete set without spending more than $20 on any coin except for the 1916-S, 1921, 1921-D, and 1938-D. So far, so good. In fact, many of them have been less than $15, and some less than $10. This one went for $34 which I considered to be a decent deal given book value.
I need to buy the 1916-S, 1921, and 1921-D, but it's hard finding problem free circulated examples that aren't in slabs and haven't been cleaned/dipped. I could just buy the missing holes, but I like to look for coins that match the others in tone and grade and appearance when possible, and I prefer auctions to BIN's, so sometimes it's a patience game.
