This is my Dansco 7070 I’ve been working on for about 2 maybe 3 years. I am 16 so my budget is limited however I do hope to upgrade a few of these coins cough cough many on the first page
What are your thoughts?

Wow! Nice collection. You are 16 and already have $6,000 showing on the gold page alone.
Plus, you didn't even go for the easy $20s. Instead you have a Type 2 1877 Liberty and a 1909 Saint.

Thank you! I originally wasn’t going to do a gold page, but I changed my mind because my uncle gave me my great grandfather’s collection which included 3 AGE which I traded for pre-1933 gold.
Wow, well done! Way better than me. I’ve never done a 7070.

I enjoyed looking at your "work in progress". I have two, the first one I worked on for 30 years (updating coins as I went). The gold was the last thing I finished. My 2nd one isn't quite as high in grade and doesn't have the gold, but I enjoyed working on it. In fact, it's probably the most enjoyable thing I have done while in this hobby for so many years.

No. I got it from my local coin shop for melt plus 2% this was when gold was around 1450-1500. If it makes any difference it’s an 1909 s.

Very impressed by your accomplishment so far. Thanks for sharing your collection. C u around. Peace Roy

I really enjoyed doing the 7070 Type Set album when I got back into the hobby with my kids. Great way to enjoy what's out there and to hopefully learn some history. You are well ahead of anything I could have pulled together at 16. Congratulations!!
I am currently working on both series designed by ASG, both the $10s (Indians) and $20s (no 1909 yet).

Very Nice

Wow, that's a great start for such a young age! And you have some nice coins you won't have to upgrade for a while if at all. (based on the images)
Nice set. I was collecting from pocket change at 16.
“WOW” says it all! You should be VERY proud!
I wish my kids or grandchildren had your interest in this wonderful hobby. Since none of them do, my collection will be sold at some point. Too bad, as I’d love to have passed it down.

Excessively cool

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......
That’s a great set and something you should cherish for a long time. I would suggest “upgrading” in another album. Keep your first set the way you made it in your youth (man, I must be getting old).
Very nice collection.
Awesome set! Thanks for sharing.
That is very impressive... a really nice set....My coins were in a drawer with socks at your age. Did not even know about an album then. Great work....Thanks for showing us... Cheers, RickO
Great looking set! Nicely matched.
That's impressive, doubly so for a teenager, nice!!
Very impressive! Congratulations!
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Well done. And only a few more coins to go. Very impressive at only 16. keep up the good work!
That's wicked nice I like

I'm really impressed. I love it that you are so inspired at your age. Would you share who have been your mentors or what led you to undertake this journey?
Bravo, young man!
I though it was impressive before I even saw the gold page, well done and good luck on the rest!
I do agree with @ShaunBC5 Keep your first book in tact and up grade in a new folder. I wish I still had some of the first ones I started with! You have some great lookin coins!
This looks fantastic!! Good job man. To have this much collected at 16 is impressive.

I don’t really have any mentors, but I was inspired to start collecting because both of my grandpas collected and one of my great grandpas and once I started I was hooked.
Wow nice set at 16 years old that pretty impressive. I’m 15 and I know I won’t have a set as nice as that when I’m 16.

When I was around 10, I started on a 19th Century Type in a Whitman Deluxe folder. By the time I was 16, it wasn't close to what you have. Keep up the hard work.
Holy sheeeeeebiscuits!!!!!!!
Nice 7070 . . . . . .!!!!!
Best collection in the world to do . . . .and you have killed it so far !!!!!!!

Excellent! Much more complete than my 7070- and you have the gold page!
Collector, occasional seller
Wow!
I'd send in the 1877 20$ just verify it's legit, seems off to me. Maybe its my old eyes. You can always crack it and put it back in the folder
Exactly what @MASSU2 , and seriously impressive for your age.
Very cool. This is the essence of collecting. I have a 7070 that is about 1/3 full. I'm feeling slightly inspired to start again. Sometimes it's nice to collect raw.
Really nice set you have going, especially the gold page. I just broke up a 7070 and the four commemorative halves you have there are the same one I put in my set. I really want to to get my set started up again.

I’m not worried about the authenticity. I got it from apmex.
Most excellent!!. Impressive for any age level.
Very nice. What a start. Keep up the good work.
This is a great accomplishment!!! I am picking up a coin for my 7070 every couple of weeks and I will be nowhere close to what you have already. Great job

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Several of the photos could stand to have the brightness adjusted up. That notwithstanding, congrats on assembling a nice-looking set!
Very impressive young brother👌
Really like your 1853 A&R half. Keep plugging.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Well done......wish I had done a Dansco when I was younger. I used a cigar box to hold my coins.
All I can say is "WOW!!!". One of these days, I'll try putting something like that together (minus the gold page, unfortunately). I have one of those framed "20th Century Type Sets", and others back thru the mid-1800's, but nothing like what you have in the way of large cents, half-dimes, etc. Impressive!
Fantastic type set!
Very impressive!
Outstanding set! Very good eye for originality, looking forward to future updates

You appear to be a coin collector. Welcome to the club and great start. You are waaaay beyond what I had at your age, so congrats and keep us posted to your new picks. Thanks for sharing.
