Just ordered my first Dansco 7070 with slip (I am 27 and started collecting not to long ago). I plan on getting everything in VF or higher grade.

The hunt is on >:]

    good for you.... it'll be fun... i'm in the process of filling mine as well...

    i'm actually doing a simultaneous certified mid/high-grade 7070 set and a book 7070... i figure the book will be nice to have b/c you can actually hold the coins... the certified set will have better examples to capture the detail...

    both sets are long-term goals... hmm.. i'll be 30 in a few weeks, maybe when i turn 40 they'll be complete...

    keep in mind... the majority of the set is pretty easy to fill... but there are some doozies in there you'll need to stash away for!

    good luck! keep your eyes on the BST page... i've picked up some nice raw stuff for mine at reasonable prices as others dissolve their books... less sketchy than ebay too...

    I did mine at the same age! A word of advise since you are just starting collecting. Buy more expensive coins slabbed and crack them out just so there are no surprises in the future. Buy raw when you can identify problems easily.

    It will be a TON OF FUN!! See my sig line for my set.

    Not a bad suggestion, but I know at least one member here who might suggest otherwise image

    Welcome Ely! This thread may be useful as you start your 7070 set:

    Cracker's Remorse

    Best of luck!

    Thanks for the advice.. I will go the slabbed route! Recommend any online dealers you dealt with? I am tired of using ebay...

    The BST here is great for 7070 coins. TomB, in particular, is highly recommended.

    JJ Teaparty sold me several coins for my set, as did Mark Feld (who is a active forum member, Coinguy1).

    My set is here.

    What he said! image

    Rich Uhrich for seated and bust coins.
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    ebay's fine if you're cautious... i also like teletrade... just factor in fees before bidding and keep in mind you're not always going to win.. shipping's reasonable and fast (compared to my experiences w/ Heritage... if only they didn't have such great auction selections)... buying in person is the best... get to know some dealers... alot of times i *think* i need an MS63-65 and find an awesome AU55 or 58 that grabs me (and saves me $$)... probably wouldn't have seen the potential through a computer screen...

    I thought about doing a cracked-out album but i couldn't bring myself to do it... ultimately, i want my collection to be liquid should it need to be... cracking out will result in less liquidity and lots of regrading fees in the future if it needs to be done again...

    but AnkurJ is right... buying certified will give you piece of mind...
