    Hell yeah! That's what I'm talkin about! So what would you estimate the value of your entire 7070 to be? If you don't mind me asking. How long did it take to complete?
    Thanks for the pics!!! imageimageimageimageimage

    Awesome collection! image

    I hope my 7070 turns out as well.

    How about some close ups?

    Hey Baley,

    My 7070 is missing most of those.....can you send them over to me so I can fill out my album as well since you have already had the satisfaction of completing one? Thanks....will be watching the mailbox this week image

    I had to read that question three times before I figured out what you're asking image

    Yes, I took these pictures this morning.

    I love your choice on the Modern Commem $. Probably the best modern silver commem out there in my mind.
  • WekarWekar Posts: 470
    Is that a new 7070? I thought you had the one with 4 holes for commems? I thought that was cool, it gave you the ability to make a mini commem set.

    In any case, thanks for another picture update, you make us all jealous image

    edited: d'oh, I wrote this before I *really* looked, I keep thinking all the commems are at the end, but I see the 4 half dollar commem holes now. One more reason I think your set is cool is you picked a theme for those 4 spots (I think it was you?). US History - discovery, colonization, expansion, and, uh, what's that 4th one represent again?
    Varieties are the spice of a Type Set.

    Need more $$$ for coins?

    Smashing set, very nice. Especially like the reeded edge bust half. It really catches ones eye. WTG

  • MillertimeMillertime Posts: 2,048 ✭✭
    As always that's an awesome set and an inspiration to type collectors. My favorites on your set are the Draped Bust 1/2 cent and cent and of course the gold page. Maybe you could post your closeups of everything again.

    My Type Set is coming along pretty good. I added the 1913 T1 Buffalo today and I'm putting all Proofs (silver proofs if available) on the page with the Bicentennials. That page is looking really nice.

    Nice set :-)

    QUESTION:
    Why doesn't it have a slot for Flowing Hair Bust Half or Early Silver dollars? Is there another Dansco Type Set that includes those?

    I have considered doing something like this and have about 9-10 good slabbed types. Would I be nuts to crack them out of the slabs to put them in a dansco? I like them in slabs but with a dansco there's some organization and a small explanation of each.

    Ahh good Idea. I have a type 1 1913 buffalo and 1938 buf both in MS66 and have a gold tone. Don't know if I would want to crack those two out or get two different ones.

    If so, then I'm certifiable. Almost all of the coins in this set were released from various ugly, bulky, and viewing and photography-limiting grading opinion holders.

    That is one beautiful set. Im russhing mine too fast. Im fulling it with a bunch of worn out coins. I need to take my time and find PQ coins like yours. Nice job.
  • nesvtnesvt Posts: 2,214
    VERY nice! I just started mine. If it ends up half as nice... or a quarter as nice as that set, I'll be happy. imageimageimage

    I have at least 20 coins left to go in my 7070.

    It sure is fun.

    Great coins. I also break mine out of slabs, if that makes you feel more "sane."

    Great set, Baley. I'm halfway there (excluding the gold page), but it'll be a few more years before I'm done.

    Thanks everyone, this project was started waay back when I was a YN of 10 years old, with a 20th century set and the Barbers were Goods, all the way up to proofs for the modern clad coins. Took the usual break from coin collecting from age 14 to about 30, (spending money on other things image completely missed the boom and bust of 1989, was a junior at UCLA that year.) Anyway, picked it up in ernest about 1999, when finally had some cash from the stock boom to upgrade the newer coins and acquire the tougher older types, bought this album in about 2002, filled the rest of the holes i think by '04, and have selectively upgraded since, although it's been a while since I changed a coin. The average grade now is Unc. with a range from EF through high proof.
