First I did some half-dollar roll searching. In $80 worth I found 6 Walking Liberties, 4 90% Kennedys and 2 40% Kennedys. I also got 4 Ike dollars from one bank.

I then sold off 2 rolls of 90% halves and 1 roll of 40% halves of repeat dates that I found through roll searching over the years for $295. I used this money, plus another $200 of my own money, to buy the following online:

*complete set of Lincoln Memorial proofs
*2000-2008 Sacagawea proofs
*2007, 2008 Presidential proof sets
*DE, PA silver proofs
*nickel three-cent piece
*Buffalo nickel variety 1
*1857 Flying Eagle cent
*1892 Colombian Exposition Half Dollar
*1986 Statue of Liberty Half Dollar
*18 Jefferson nickels (including 1979-S V.II)
*15 Lincoln wheat cents before 1941
*1960-D small date Lincoln

I completed the following sets today:

*Jefferson nickels (including proofs)
*Sacagawea dollars (including proofs)
*Presidential dollars (including proofs)

And I almosted completed these sets:

*Lincoln Memorial (need: 1970-S small date, 1979-S type ii)
*State Quarters (need: silver proofs NJ, GA, CT)

And I added the following to my 7070:

*Flying Eagle Cent
*3-Cent nickel
*Buffalo nickel var. 1
*2 commemorative halves

I agree with SDcoinguy ... WOW!

I think you did some really good trading .. It is a great feeling to complete some albums.

I have been working hard on the Jefferson set .. still have 14 more to go

I bought the Lincoln Memorial proofs from apluscoinswholesale on ebay for $125. He had it originally at $175 but I made the offer of $125 without the Dansco album (which I have anyway) and he accepted.

I also don't have a digital camera to take pics of the halves I found.
