Just 2 more to GO! 1916-S and 1921-D

I have been patiently working on a Walking Liberty set, by checking the "junk" 90% boxes at the LCS and some coin shows, for about 3 years. 2 weeks ago, scored a 16-D in fine for $12 (melt), a 17-D Obverse, a 1921 in AG, also for $12. Some coins are definately AG-03 or maybe in a F-02, but there are several AU's in the book also. They are stored in a Dansco 7160 album that was a glorious $2 at a coin show. 1938-D came a little over a year ago, in a 50% off box at a coin show, for $10, marked as a 38-P. Dealer just laughed and said good luck.
Also bought a fairly complete run of Barber halves, with a lot of the semi-keys, also for melt 2 weeks ago, most a good/VG, with some AG's in the mix. They were all in 2x2's, in the junk box. It looked like someone had taken an album and just punched it out. Now I need to find a cheap 7150 album.

Sounds like a fun project.
I recently picked up a circ 38-d on the bst and was intending to stick it in an album I'm working on.
In the end, I tossed it in with a submission and now it's in a PCGS VF20 holder.
Do a WTB on the BST for that album.
You never know.

In the last year I've bought two different 1916-S Walkers in AG or so fairly cheap. Not quite for melt though, but not a ton more and well below half of the $85 greysheet price for good. So it's possible. I could even hook you up with one of them if you want, unless you want to be able to find one out in the wild on your own!! Might need a bit more luck finding a 1921-D that cheap though, but it's not unheard of either!

Recently, I got the bug to half dollar roll hunt again. So far, I have gone through 3,000 bucks worth of MODERN Kennedy halves. I have added 20 coins into my Whitman Album---in addition to finding a 1974D---DDO
Some would say that it is a waste of good time. Well, MAYBE. But, I'm having a lot of FUN doing the searching. Have found a little silver in the process. And, it has cost me virtually NOTHING. The bank ladies have been VERY NICE----as long as I don't return those halves to their branch bank.
Hope you find the last two----although they are indeed hard to come by at a melt price. But patience has its rewards. Bob [supertooth]
Cheers!
