Do You Have A Dansco 7070 (Us Type) Album?

I have one for problem coins and well worn examples. I use it as a educational tool to explain a large chunk of US coins and types. I purposely put dateless type one and two Buffalo nickels and SLQ so that I can focus on their differences.

Thank you, Debrajc !
I assumed <incorrectly> that because the 7070 album is not currently available from the Dansco website, that the gold page would not be either.

I want to start one but I'm so involved with my 7099 (Large Cents).

Kinda surprised by all the interest in the 7070's today.
I bought my first 7070 book 23 years ago just for fun and started filling it up little by little.
Today it's 85.4% complete. Now when I look in my records and see what I paid for them, compared to their value today, I'm glad I bought them years ago before the prices on some of them jumped so high.
Anyway, on the survey, where is the choice for 75%-100%?

I'm not!

Back when I got into seriously collecting coins 3-4 years ago, I had never heard of a 7070 album. But the more I got into coins, the more I realized how many types of U.S. coins had been minted over the years about which I was completely ignorant. I mean, I knew about nickels as far back as the Buffalo and Liberty ("V) varieties, but I had never heard of a Three-Cent Nickel or a Half Dime before. Or Seated Liberty coinage, for that matter. We used to have Half Cents?

Well, I decided what I really wanted to do was to start putting together some sort of "type" collection, rather than focusing my efforts and limited resources on something more focused like a complete set of Lincoln Cents or Mercury dimes (not that there's anything wrong with doing that, mind you, but it didn't interest me as much as the thought of owning one of every major type of U.S. coin). The only problem was that I still had no idea how many different types of U.S. coins had been produced over the years.

A little Google searching led me to a little website called coincommunity.com where there was an ongoing discussion thread discussing the Dansco 7070 album and asking everybody to show pictures of their type coins. And, best of all, the first page of the thread actually listed all the coins that were in the album! Finally, I had a starting point for my type collection. It didn't occur to me to actually go out and buy a 7070 album for awhile, but I finally did since it seemed like a nifty way to store and display the collection I was putting together.

As I mentioned above, I have now filled and surpassed my 7070 album, but I still love to pull it out and look through it and also still occasionally update the coins in the album as time and budget permits. It's not a perfect album by any means (I still don't get why the album includes both the Copper-Nickel and the Bronze Indian Head cent, which have identical designs despite being made of slightly different alloys, but doesn't include significantly different designs like the Arrows & Rays Liberty Seated coinage), but it's a fantastic way to see, collect and appreciate the 200+ year history of U.S. coinage.

I have 7 more holes to go. If I ever figure out this picture thing I will post some.
