    Wow, well done! Way better than me. I’ve never done a 7070.

    I enjoyed looking at your "work in progress". I have two, the first one I worked on for 30 years (updating coins as I went). The gold was the last thing I finished. My 2nd one isn't quite as high in grade and doesn't have the gold, but I enjoyed working on it. In fact, it's probably the most enjoyable thing I have done while in this hobby for so many years.

    No. I got it from my local coin shop for melt plus 2% this was when gold was around 1450-1500. If it makes any difference it’s an 1909 s.

    I really enjoyed doing the 7070 Type Set album when I got back into the hobby with my kids. Great way to enjoy what's out there and to hopefully learn some history. You are well ahead of anything I could have pulled together at 16. Congratulations!!

    I am currently working on both series designed by ASG, both the $10s (Indians) and $20s (no 1909 yet).

    “WOW” says it all! You should be VERY proud!

    I wish my kids or grandchildren had your interest in this wonderful hobby. Since none of them do, my collection will be sold at some point. Too bad, as I’d love to have passed it down.

    That’s a great set and something you should cherish for a long time. I would suggest “upgrading” in another album. Keep your first set the way you made it in your youth (man, I must be getting old).

    I don’t really have any mentors, but I was inspired to start collecting because both of my grandpas collected and one of my great grandpas and once I started I was hooked.

    When I was around 10, I started on a 19th Century Type in a Whitman Deluxe folder. By the time I was 16, it wasn't close to what you have. Keep up the hard work.

    I'd send in the 1877 20$ just verify it's legit, seems off to me. Maybe its my old eyes. You can always crack it and put it back in the folder ;)

    Really nice set you have going, especially the gold page. I just broke up a 7070 and the four commemorative halves you have there are the same one I put in my set. I really want to to get my set started up again.

    All I can say is "WOW!!!". One of these days, I'll try putting something like that together (minus the gold page, unfortunately). I have one of those framed "20th Century Type Sets", and others back thru the mid-1800's, but nothing like what you have in the way of large cents, half-dimes, etc. Impressive! :o
