I just hit the BIN button on this Walker. After almost 50 years I have finally finished the set. I dug the set out a few months back and needed 4 coins to complete it. Needed 17-S obv, 19-P, 21-P, and 23-S. I know it's a low grade early years and gradually increasing as the dates get later set but it's finally complete. I can sleep at night now. I think I was 11 or 12 years old when I started this set.

Here's the rest of the set minus the other 3 purchases.

Now what is your next goal?
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I am working on my birth year set, 1948, need 3 coins to finish the set. I need a 47-P and a 47-D to finish a second set of Booker T. Washington Commems. Like to get these 2 in 66. After that I don't know, I might dig out some more old Whitman folders from my youth. The Washington Quarters might be a good move.

Isn't grade drift in these Walker sets often typical? It's obviously brought about by the expense of many of the early issues, isn't it?
What the heck, I think these circulated issues give a set a nicely different character. I know I have a number of circulated, early issues in my Walker set that I feel no immediate need to upgrade.
Buying MS coins all the time must get boring anyway.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
