WTB 22 circ. PCGS-graded Walkers, mostly late dates

I'm building an all-circ. PCGS Walker set, mainly as a learn-to-grade exercise, that has turned out to be both challenging and fun. The main rule is to buy every coin already in a holder.
I'm specifically looking for coins with original, dirty surfaces, as opposed to those that have been dipped. I am also not looking for high grades, because they are not all that important. Many of the coins I already have are glaring examples of, "Why on earth did anyone have a $10 coin certified?" For instance, given the choice between a 1917-S obverse in XF40 for $600, or one in VG for $40, I'll get the VG without hesitation. But an AG instead? No thanks.
Like I'm trying to say, I want a decent example of each date, rather than a high grade in each date. (For the super-common late dates, however, where even AU coins are $10, those will work. AU58s that are $25 will not. I have no interest in Mint State coins.
$18 is a key price reference point for this PCGS set. I also have a complete raw set in folders, and when my patience runs out trying to find the missing certified dates already in holders, I'll get the raw coins graded for $18 each. That's why I bid $18 on darn near everything appearing on eBay that I still need, even if it's only worth melt value.
Here are the dates I still need, and if anyone can help I give my thanks in advance:
1917-S obverse
1917-S reverse
1920
1927-S
1934
1934-D
1935-D
1936-D

1937-S
1939-D
