I'm hoping that various folks will take the time to post pictures of their Dansco 7070 albums, in whatever state of completion they are in. I'll start...
As of 7/17/2008...
So far, I'm a little light on the 'busts' and a little heavy on the gold. It's fun to look for nice examples of each type. Or in certain cases, to look for acceptible, affordable examples.
Too bad the pictures aren't large enough so that you can see details in the coins. Some are very nice up close.
[edit] And now RYK is gonna make me reshoot and crop so that my awful pictures look better.

<< <i>RYK, what's with the 2.5 and 5D. gold inserts in regular circulated coin slots...2c....?

No test.
I had the raw gold coins and did not have anything better to do with them.

Of course!! Doesn't everyone have a handful of nice, raw gold coins lying around with nothing better to do.

Two of your slots make me envious. Not two many people can have a 2 cent piece or a spectacular seated dime like you do.
Excellent presentation, RYK.
Hey, it's Miller Time...very nice.
Well worth the price of admission, here.

RYK give me ideas; i'll bet many of these would fit on a "moderns" page

I will pull out my Redbook later when I get home from work and see what I can come up with.
It seems like the Dansco 7070 goes back only so far and doesn't include everything-but I want one of them.
How would I go about getting one of those?
Mine would only get about half full right off the bat, actually a little less. (with NO gold-I don't have a single gold coin)
By my count there are 85 slots-is that right?

Extra pages I added for the slab inserts:
Some more slabs that are/were pending a date with the slab smasher!!

I think it would be neat to see. I would join, even though I don't really collect the 7070 anymore. I have fond memories of it.
Don't go electing me or asking me to start it, though. I just think if somebody felt so inclined, it would be cool.
Looks nothing like the rest of ya'll
I'll embarrass myself posting them up lol..

That is the cool thing about type sets. You can pick your grade level and go with the most common dates. Even in low grades the 7070 is challenging, but need not be hideously expensive. The first time I did it, my early types were just Good and better. Second time I shot for Fine or better on the earlier stuff.
Each budget range has nice coins (for the grade) and lower-end ones. If you select a well matched set and pick the best quality you can get in your personal pricerange, you're doin' great. I have enjoyed both the monster high-end 7070 sets folks have posted, gold pages and all, and to be honest, I have enjoyed seeing some of those VG-ish sets just as much.
Take Barber halves, for instance. Can't say why, but my favorite grade in those is a strong VG, as close as you can get to Fine on a VG budget. VG10 Barber halves (and the smaller Barbers, too) are just appealing to me. If I ever were to collect Barber halves by date, instead of just needing one for a type set, I would shoot for VG10s on a G-VG budget.
Well, my 7070 hasn't gone by grade yet.
I am just putting whatever I can find or that is available here in Kuwait (there is only 1 dealer that sells coins professionally and specialises in Irani Silver coins (which is very expensive) but occasionally has some US coin.
My 7070 ranges from VG~AU, maybe the moderns are MS-62 or so.

We could number the rows and compare Row Ones, Row Twos, and so on.

<< <i>I'm surprised there aren't more (any?) 1921 Peace Dollars in 7070's. >>
I was a little disappointed that the 1921 Morgan and Peace were not considered their own types entirely, but then there are space limitations to consider, especially on the larger coins.
