Sorry, first time asking for a coin to be added, so I don’t know what I’m doing.
I just got this coin and want to add it to my “Half Dollar Type Set”

Competitive Sets > Type Sets > Half Dollar Type Set
The slot “50c KENNEDY, CLAD 1971-“ has MS coins from most years (like “2022-P”) but it doesn’t have the 2021, could that be added?

Edit: I found these instructions on how to add a coin to an existing slot - and tried that way to request:

I love the Dansco albums too. I’ve had a full Silver Eagle album for 10+ years that I’ve been updating ever year, A few years ago, just before Dansco production shut down, I added 6 more to my collection - Kennedy, Franklin, and Liberty Walking halves as well as some quarter and small dollar albums. The Liberty Walking is my favorite and filled with AU / MS coins - I’m working on the Franklin half album now

Anyone have an update on when / if Dansco will go back into full production? Even in 2018 / 2019 I had a hard time getting the albums I wanted as they were always out of stock. Imagine how long it is going to take to build inventory back up at the online sellers!

After selling 31 coins recently I swore I'd chill out for a bit and well ....
....I've wanted one of these for some time now and got it at a very reasonable price at a auction, so merry xmas to me (along with a few others I'll post once I receive them).

Great coin! Love those fractional gold buffalos - too bad the were only struck one year! I have NGC MS70 1/4oz and 1/2oz coins and really enjoy them. Hope to get a 1/10oz too someday but the premium over the gold value has prevented me so far - but maybe I will find a good deal on one next year

 All 1979-S Anthony Dollars are Narrow Rims and all 1980 Anthony Dollars from all three mints are the Wide Rim.  It is only the 1979-P coin that has both varieties.  Your coins are completely normal for their respective dates and mints.

Thank you for that information - I thought that was true but have never seen it actually stated that way.

I'm saving your comments  - it will help me go through my pile of SBAs when I get time!

The one I just got (CC privy) is flawless. 

I just got my (3) Peace dollars from the US Mint - very happy with all of them. The Mint even packed them better that shipments from previous years - adding foam blocks to keep the OGP boxes from bouncing around inside the shipping box. The new OGP is less impressive - the cheap felt / plastic insert like they've used in the Uncirculated American Silver Eagles - all three of the capsules had popped out and were rattling around in the OGP boxes.

New Year resolution - learn how to take better / more consistent photos of coins!

Production is always greater than announced. This allows for damage, loss, return, declined payment and fulfillment problems, plus the Mint has internal review and audit uses for some. It can take several weeks to reconcile fulfillment with inventory, hence, the extras now are available. Note that the US Mint does not resell coins that are returned unless they are perfect and in unopened capsules.

That was exactly my next question! I was worried that they were re-selling "scratched" and "scuffed" returned coins - I'm glad you cleared that up. I had already purchased more than the "new" limit of three (3) CC privy coins (the original limit was 10 I think), so I didn't get any more of those. I did get my three (3) Peace dollars (my favorite silver dollar) and three (3) of the "P" Morgan Dollars - the only ones that I got skunked out of by the US Mint crappy website. The US Mint told me today that the order is already shipped - I can't believe it.

The only other experience I had with buying one of the last few of a coin release as a secondary release from the US Mint was when I bought my 2016 commemorative 1016 Mercury Dime. Many people then said that they were scratched returns but mine was very nice - I thought I just got lucky.

I inherited a single Morgan Silver Dollar from my father and it was the start of my coin collection - an unremarkable NGC / GSA hoard coin . I don't really collect Morgan dollars but it got me started and that is all that matters!

I love US half dollar coins and the Walking Liberty coins are easily my favorite. I have a lowly 1933 to 1947 ungraded set which are mostly MS with a few AU and it is my favorite collection. I really loved looking at your set. Your 1936D and 1937D coins are amazing - I don't know if it is just extra good photography of those two coins, but those are the nicest strikes I've ever seen on a Walking Liberty and those are hard to find dates - very nice! Congratulations on finishing your set - beautiful!

I will truly believe it when they are in my hand, but I was just able to order the 2021 Peace and 2021P Morgan Dollars that I didn't get when first released - and I got an order confirmation email - go check it out on the US Mint Website

Like others - I use NGC to get a "max" price and eBay sold listings to get an idea what they are actually selling for. eBay charges sales tax in my state even on bullion coins (which is not required in my state) so that skews the actual purchase price by about 10% - but that is a different rant.
