    Very nice! What years are the bronze Indian and the non-warnickel Jefferson?

    The bronze IHC is 1907 and the Jefferson nickel is a toned 1950-D.

    I started the album over a decade ago. I fill a hole or two each year and upgrade also. Will eventually add the gold page and fill it. It is an album that provides a wide array of US coinage.

    Fun set when you have access to raw coins that you can choose in-person

    Good start. I have been toying with a 7070 album for more than 10 years, replacing coins every now and then. It contains a mix of nice coins (including some inherited from my grandmother), a few contemporary counterfeits, some error coins, a chopmarked Trade dollar, an electrotype half cent, and a counterstamped large cent. The moderns have started to tone.

    @SanctionII I just finished looking at your 7070 and I really enjoyed it! I like album collecting so I always look at a post like this to see what others are doing. It's obvious that you have put some thought into creating a very unique 7070. It looks great!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Interesting set.
    I ALMOST pulled the trigger on a 7070 album about a month ago. Would give me something else to look for at shows.

    @SanctionII Your "Classic Head" Large Cent coin does not look right, your coin looks like an earlier Liberty Cap cent (1793–1796)...or is it just me?

    Nice set!

    Very nice set... I like the 7070 album.... I have thought about doing it.... just a fairly long process...and without coin shows or shops in my area, it would mean a lot of internet shopping. Of course, there are always negative points to any endeavor.... I need to make a decision and just do it. Cheers, RickO

    Looks Great!

    I have a 7070 I've been working on for quite a while.
    (thanks @Barndog ;) )

    I take pics like those with me to coin shows for easy reference.

    Nice job... I enjoyed viewing it.

    Thanks for posting this, awesome job! Makes me want to take a photo of my progress so far as well! It's a lot more fun when you have a community that understands and offers encouragement!

    Type sets are great. A little something for everyone. Nice work, please show when finished.

    A 7070 is what got me hooked on coins.
    Previously, I had thought that a coin collection was a bunch of same looking coins all stuck in holes.

    Nice album. For the collector that enjoys variety. My aunt told me when I was 14 “Variety is the spice of life.” She was married 6 times. Not quite sure what she meant by that statement. :smile:

    That is a weird Trade Dollar! ;)

    Nice Set!

  • MattTheRileyMattTheRiley Posts: 806 ✭✭✭✭

    I started my 7070 in July of 2014.

    I Just completed the gold page in May of 2018! It is a fun book to show people, albeit a little embarrassing when they ask how much I spent to complete it! LOL

    It's never fully complete though, as there are always upgrades! I've cracked quite a few slabs to fill holes (that is a fun experience!) along the way!

    Great set and thanks for sharing!

    Nice looking group of coins!

  • divecchiadivecchia Posts: 6,688 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Congrats, you are well on your way towards the completion of this set with many beautiful pieces. I just started a graded type set and have a long way to go.

    Good luck with the other pieces. Donato

    I also love my 7070 type set and have worked on it for over 30 years......and have now built another from the coins I had updated from the first set. Great fun!!

    Looks good SanctionII, I like the California and bay bridge commems, I want to start a 7070, probably will never finish, some of the coins r out of my price range, probably should by the album first though, lol

    That's an interesting Liberty Seated Half with motto you've got there.
