Danco 7070 with a twist

Elem21wed

I have purchased a 7070 album. I figure when I'm not looking for Morgan to fill my set this will give me some structure to my collecting. I want to do something different. I want a 7070 with nothing but error coins. I figure it will take a long time to build, but this is one of those things that you want to do right. I will keep all of you abreast of the what I find. This first coin in this album is a broadstruck 1945 mercury dime.





I love the die polish lines of this coin.

Love the idea!

great idea. will some of the coins have trouble fitting into the holes, depending on the error?

jhusman

Great idea - but I was thinking like the poster above. Are you going to cut the holes if they don't fit?

looking at the Broadstruck, I was reading Baley's mind! does it fit?!

Cgb

That is pretty ambitious.

Good luck! I love that broadstruck coin.

I'm doing a type set with clips, the nice thing about those is that there won't be any issue with fit if I ever decide to put them into a 7070. Good luck finding some of those one- and two-year types or the commems with errors, they're pretty tough.

I know there is a more affordable example, I know it, I just cannot locate it.

The holes in the album are a little too small for some errors. Like with the broadstruck I've had to make adjustments with a razor blade. Its not that much of a hassle. Just lay the coin over the hole and trace its outline then cut.

Hey Chris,
What a interesting undertaking, Good luck with it.
Along that vane I have 3 Lincoln Pennies you might be interested in. 1. 1994 - missing 50% of edge rim
2. 1994-Dmissing 1/3 or more of edge rim 3. 1999 Boardstruck
The 1st two are regular size while nbr 3 is slightly larger than the hole in your 7070.
PM me if interested in any of them and I will make you a real special deal.

Fantastic venture! All the best luck, but easy with the razor blade!
