[QUOTE="GaryBurke, post: 62491, member: 1874"]After I finished my Franklin Half collection, I started on my Walking Liberty Half collection. I wanted it to be more than just purchased coins, so I looked through all my coin boxes and safety deposit boxes, finding about 15 coins. Today I decided to buy a key coin. I thought I had a couple of the keys, but did not. At my coin dealer I found a 1938D I liked. It hadn't been graded. Using what I know about the old system, I determined it to be somewhere between fine and very fine. Then, I asked my dealer to grade it. His grading was fine. So, I bought it. Paid $50. Haven't looked in the Red Book, but memory told me that was a good price. Good deal? Fair? Any opinions? :) :)[/QUOTE]
