  nice group. But just to add some constructive critism, you are using too much light at the wrong angle. They also appear to be over-exposed and washed out. Does your camera have manual settings?

  This is where I burned out too quick when I did a 7070. I got too hung up on having very nice coins in it when I should have just went with circulated coins. I would sit and wait while trying to save money for my next purchase and burned out on the project and just sold everything. I need to do like you did and just find circulated coins that I like. Good job on the set.

  I like that '39 seated HD, and that 1883 Lib Nickel With Cents is a tough coin at that high grade level. Congrats!

  Thanks - but still not done. Notice on this page there is no 20 center or a Shield Nickel with rays. I say you give it a shot again. Nothing wrong with using nice circulated coins. Many of them can be found by trading what you have, or for sale very inexpensively.

  Is the obverse of that Merc hairlined?
  
  I love the 7070.

  Nope, if you look really really close (especially in hand, or in hand with a loupe) those lines in the left obverse field are flows in the metal.

  Nice job! I'm in the process of putting a 7070 together as well. I'm planning on taking photos when I'm done as well.
  
  Good luck!
