7070 stuff

So, a while back I was considering whether to go with the Dansco 7070 or with the Intercept Shield Type Album.

After some recommendations being made both here and ATS, I decided to go with the Intercept Shield version.

Interesting enough, the IS version has quite a few more coins in it. 100 altogether with some holes for some future coins.

On top of that, OFFMETAL posted that he had made an excel spreadsheet for the 7070. So, of course I asked for it and then modified it for the IS version.

These are both available for you here:

IS album with gold
IS album without gold

I'm pretty sure all the formulas are correct, but if you find any that you think are wrong, please let me know, I'll update them and put up new copies for download.

    No replies? That sucks.

    I hope we see some coins from your typeset.

    Well, that was quick. What do you think of the IS type album. The Whitman has an issue or two with the holes for the Barber quarter and half and one or two of the large cents not fitting the coins particularly well. Is this also the case for the IS album? I'm thinking about transfering my stuff to the IS and ditchin' the Whitman.

    Sorry bout that, removed the link for lack of interest.

    As for the album, I like it very much, although some of the holes are very tight and hard to get the coin in, but I guess the coin won't turn that way. I don't like the fact that some of the coins in the row are different sizes which makes the acetate slides hard to get in when going past the larger coins.

    More pages, more coins, I like that. The cover on the book is pretty cool too. Definitely something you might want to do if you want some more modern stuff. Take a look at the files, it'll give you an idea of what you need. I really don't have anything special in the book, it's 62 percent complete including the gold. With gold it makes 100 coins, without I can't remember.

    Does anyone else own one of these? What do the rest of you think of yours if you have one?

    As requested, some pix. If you're really interested in seeing something up close, let me know. There are some semi cool coins in there. The only large cent I have is counterstamped n/a. I know there are some people out there who dig that, but it's a dug up coin so it has enviro damage. The V nick with cents is a 12-S. The Jefferson is a proof and is a beautiful purple toner. The 20 cent piece is cleaned. The two top half dollars cost me a buck... yep, a buck together, from a till at a grocery store. The Franky is a cameo as well as the 64 Kennedy, the Kennedy has an interesting tone spot on the obverse that looks like the spot on a peacox tail. The clad half is a 65 cameo! My state quarter is a PR Silver Texas quarter... of course... being from Texas what else would I put in that slot? Just got my arrows quarter today so that makes 63%, although, you'll probably notice there are only 62 coins there since my 1862 indian cent is currently soaking in olive oil to see if that will help with some crud that's on it. Of course, my Dollars and my gold are lonely. The $1 gold are ex-jewelry and are placekeepers for some future hopefuls. Like I mentioned before, some of the holes are tight, way tight... and some are loose, and some of the coins have already rotated and they've only been in there maybe 2 weeks.

  • WOW. That excel sheet is awesome. Good work with the additions.

    I am thinking of starting a 7070 type collection but wanted to do it with graded coins. Anything out in the market place that could help me with this? Anyone done this?

    Once again awesome excel sheets

    Actually, most of the thanks goes to OFFMETAL, he's the one that originally created them... I just did a little editing.
