That's it's natural habitat! Looks great!
I picked up that Dansco 7070 the weekend before last, for 300 bucks- it already had a number of coins in it, including an EF details 1829 Bust half dime I sold for $165 and downgraded to one I already had on hand. I have since spent several hundred more dollars adding to the 7070.
It is a casual sideline, so I've relaxed my stance on problem coins and will add slabbed cleaned coins like this Trade dollar, if they look OK. I still need the Seated dollars, of course, but might flip the whole thing before I add them. There are a few other types left to add which shouldn't be too difficult. (1859 IHC, Shield nickel with Rays, a couple of the later Seated dimes, etc.)
Very, very nice 👍
I like the appearance of the coin. I think "details" coins can be a good acquisition if they look good.
What is a 7070?
The ever popular Dansco 7070 US Type album, for a 19th and 20th century type set.
At least you can be certain it is authentic that way!
Exactly. Of all the 7070 types, the Seated and especially Trade dollars are coins I do like that little bit of extra assurance on.
She now has a real home! The perfect place! 👍🏻

Does it include holes for gold? Thanks
You can add a gold page to it.
@basetsb_coins on Instagram
I had the same idea
There is a supplemental page you can add.
Thanks, looks like I may have another project.
Here are some eBay listings which show the album and the supplemental gold page. I'm not saying the price is right on any of them, necessarily. Just to give you an idea on how to shop around.
Thanks, will check it out.
I believe this is my fourth 7070 album project in the last 25 years.
This time around it's not my primary focus (that's here), but I will still enjoy it.
you know i don't put much emphasis on type sets (as much as i should or would like to), yet EVERY time someone posts a nice one, even high or low grade pieces, i find myself enjoying them, including a couple gents on the toob of U recently sharing their finished multi-page examples!!!
i don't see any holes in those coins BUT i won't tell anyone. wouldn't want your rep to take a hit for having TOO nice of coins. :P
Oh, don’t worry, there’s a holey type set, too.
But I use a cork board and map pins for that, rather than a 7070.
Maybe one day I’ll hang the holey set on my once-famous top hat, which has been in storage (sans coins) for years.
Any thoughts on designing an album/display holder with spacing for holes for the coins along with sleeves for the TPG insert? Or even a separate page for just TPG inserts.
Wouldn't its natural habitat be a till?
I've seen folks add a page to the back of the album to contain all the crackout slab labels.
🥰 I like your best! Free style collecting is always fun.
@lordmarcovan... Looks good LordM.... I like the idea and you have a good start. Keep us posted. Cheers, RickO
