My new dansco 7070 thread

[greg1186]

I was fortunate enough to pick one of these 7070 albums up for a real cheap price. I will be updating this thread as I gain more coins. Let me know if you have any coins I need for trade or sale... Thank you!

*I think my 43 steel cent may be a proof.
*both my silver roosevelt dime and silver washington quarter' are proofs.

**on the last page it calls for a modern commemorative 1983-date... What is this?

That's a fun set to try to put together. Mine is complete but it took me 30 years. In fact when I started on it I had the coins in 2 Whitman books but have switched all my sets over to Dansco albums since. For the modern commemorative it's your choice what to put in there. Dollar coin size. I used a Statue of Liberty Dollar. Here's some pics to give you incentive.

It was common a few years back to replate steel war cents. You may have one of those.

There were no proof steel cents, most likely yours has been reprocessed. Looks like you are off to a good start!

Thanks for all the input everyone! I am also awaiting page 6 for the 7070 which is the US gold page. Anyone have that page too??

 

[NHBandit]

Can't afford that page.. lol

 

[greg1186]

I've got the gold page in the mail coming to me along with a type 3 gold dollar I'll have to post pics when I get them

I've been thinking of putting one of these together. Will be gladly following this thread. Keep it up!!

thanks! FYI: the 7070 album is out of print and can cost a pretty penny... Apparently they're still in the process of updating it... Since 2011? Anyway I plan on filling it at my own pace... I am waiting for the gold page in the mail.

Yeah my lcs has a few of them. But filling it is übber expensive. So I was thinking about one or two coins a year

how much are they charging for them? I wouldn't mind having two haha

 

[Thorne]

That I'm not sure.

 

[greg1186]

So I added three new coins today and updated my v nickel... Here are some pics.

 

[greg1186]

Today I added seated liberty dime and type 2 standing liberty quarter

You're off to a great start! IMHO, a type set is a more feasible, beautiful, and more rewarding than a date-and-mintmark set. Building an attractive type set will make you learn so much about the coin collecting hobby. Mine is nearly complete, and I feel that it is my greatest numismatic accomplishment. Just waiting for a chance to get some nice seated dollars without breaking the bank.

Take a close up of that Ike for me please? Is it Philadelphia or Denver mint? I really like it.....

please specify, there are many Ike's on this thread haha

 

[coinguy*matthew]

Bottom right.....

 

[NHBandit]

I agree that a type set is much more interesting than any other set that's just different dates & mint marks of the same coin. And fun to show to friends. Most people outside of the hobby have never heard of a 2 cent, 3 cent or a 20 cent coin, etc.

 

[greg1186]

Bottom right.....

just a regular old Ike... No mint
