My Walker Short Set is now complete!

After 5 and 1/2 years of trying to aquire the difficult to the unavailable, I finally added a 42D in 68 that essentially completes my short set. The Richard D. Graham Collection. For me it is unimprovable, the other two coins are 25,000+ coins.
It has been a lot of excitement and a lot of holding of my breath waiting in line sometimes, and being thankful the guy in front of me was tapped out at the time.
Many thanks to Pinnacle, Mark in particular, Van of DHRC, and George and Laura at Legend.
Pictures and descriptions are next, maybe a camera for Christmas. Anyone have a favorite?
Now to concentrate on the last two coins of the late date set - 33S in 67 and a 39P in 68.
Sorry for no link, maybe someone with the skill can put it up.

    Dick,

    You've got some monster coins in your set. Here's a link.

    As for a camera, I use an Olympus UltraZoom. It's 3.1 megapixels, but the zoom is much better than most digitals.

    Congrats on a fantastic set. Hope Santa brings you a camera!image

    Congratulations Dick,

    I hope you get a good camera for Christmas. I use a Sony Mavica MVC-FD91. Shoots directly onto a floppy disk. I can upload photos directly from my A drive and don't clutter up my C drive, not that photos of those coins would be clutter. Anyway, I can't wait to see photos of your set.

    Regards,

    Dick:

    Congratulations!

    Now be smart and don't sell it off! I made that mistake in 1983! It broke my heart.

    Any of your coins come from prior collections? Going to expand to 1923-1947 before going all out at 1916-1947?

    Thanks for the comments, and the recommendations on the cameras. As to moving on into other parts of the set, I already have the late date set, 33 to 47 under the same collection name and it too is an all time finest, but the two coins I mentioned are upgrades, the 39P in 68 is a must and the 33S is a wish list type of thing, my 33S is so strong in 66 that the 67 would have to be a big step up in order to spend the money.
    As to moving into the 1916 to 1929 years, the money is not even on my horizon, and I would not want to collect to finish this set at a level that is different than the 40 coins already collected.
    Good idea, just beyond my means.
    Thanks again for the comments.
