My Dansco 7070 is FINISHED!! (lots of pics)

in U.S. Coin Forum
I got a Seated Dollar today to complete the set. I think I've been working on this for 5-6 years. It has been fun, but I'm glad I finally got the last coin. I haven't been too motivated with this set lately, but I do feel a sense of accomplishment having finally come to a conclusion with this thing. I'll probably let it sit a while and maybe get some upgrades and weed out some of the cleaned coins at a later date.

I created a 'virtual' image of the coins since it is very difficult to photograph an entire page of coins. I also have a few coins that I have decided not to crack out. But it is a great set to show to friends and family who aren't into coins.

Here's a collage of the actual album with a few of the slabbed coins pasted into place:

    I'm thinking Indian Head Cents or Barber Dimes or maybe even gettin' into some Gold coins! I'll probably need to cut back and sell-off some of my collection before heading off in a different direction. I seem to have accumulated a bunch of stuff I no longer care to even look at.

    I really like the toned look you've sought for most of the older coins. I'm kind of surprised you don't "downgrade" some of the modern pennies, nickels, and dimes with a similar old-timey circ-cam look image

    Nice! This set interests me. Looks like Dansco needs to update the album though.

    Shouldn't they add:

    2009 commem cent
    shield cent

    2004-2005 commem nickel
    front facing nickel

    national parks quarter

    president dollar
    native dollar

    Getting an evenly-matched set like that is harder to do than going to a big show and buying a roll of circulated, 1909-S VDB's. It takes more than money to do that.

    Congrats.

    I missed this set the first time around. Definitely one of the nicest 7070's I've seen. Well matched and very pleasing to look at with no major distractions. (beyond the trade dollar, just my opinion though and I do understand why you would want a chop marked example).

    How tempted are you to crack those 4 slabs and fill the holes? I know I would.

    Many nice coins in your set.

    I was not familiar with the selection in the 7070 "major" type set album, but they are quite similar to the coins in my type set (i.e. reasonably affordable and different).
    The only coins I think the 7070 is missing in this theme are:
    - 1837 (or 1838-O) no stars half dime
    - 1837 no stars dime

    So those might be things you could add if you think they would fit in well.
