Why isn't This Type Dime In Dansco Type Coin Album

The quarter and half dollar had stars on all of them but have a unique type of no drapery for those years. The Half Dime had a no stars type for this years so you can find a no stars Half Dime.

jrfransch I have neither album when you mentioned it I had to go see what the albums looked like and spent 30 minutes googling and going through ebay until I found them (so sad that the Whitman site doesn't even tell you what is in their albums or have decent pics at least with Dansco they got decent pics on their site and tell you whats in the albums), they are from the 60's I found out. I am love with the idea of that Whitman bookshelf set, that has to be the ultimate type set ever. I am a massive type fan, it is my favorite set ever and a set I have always wanted to complete. I am in my third attempt at doing a 7070. The first set I sold in college to pay bills and was a gorgeous set with maybe 60 of the 76 holes filled, actually I should revise that because back then I was doing the gold page so there was 86 holes and I had 4 of the gold pieces. The second attempt was a slightly weaker attempt with maybe half of the album filled that most of the major pieces got sold out of when I was unemployed for awhile (Morgan, peace, walking liberty, xf large cent, silver eagle etc stuff that was some easy cash when needed). I have started again recently and I kept all the minor pieces from the last purge (Ikes, Roosevelt's, Washington's, Jefferson's and even a gorgeous 1905 RB IHC in MS62) and am now back up to 43 of the 76 with a handful of fillers I will upgrade later down the road. Money is good again, job is good again and I really found the love of the type set and numismatics again.

I figure it will take me about a year to finish the 7070, because I will want to do some upgrades if I can keep from getting sidetracked (I have also fell in love with commemoratives and have started a commemorative dollar set and am seriously contemplating a classic commemorative half set). Right now I am working my way through the Seated Liberty coinage (just bought a 1853 Seated quarter with rays, the rays on the reverse eagle is one of my favorite reverse designs ever, all my 1853-55 with arrows type will be the 1853 so I can get the rays) and am going to get a Seated Liberty half dime this week and am I thinking that 1838 with no stars would be an awesome one to go for. I know once I am done with the 7070 I am going to want to turn it into that Whitman bookshelf type set now, because that is an awesome beyond awesome type set. I have been rereading my RedBook and I am thinking it might also be fun to do some colonial coins like the pine or oak trees or even civil war tokens. I just absolutely love US type sets (I think that is why I am falling in love with the commemoratives something I never collected before because its like a unique type sets of its own) and that Whitman set is the ultimate type set, amazingly beautiful, complex and difficult something to spend years working on and upgrading. Thank you for letting me know about it.

there are allot of different coins that are not included in the 7070 album. I at times wish they would have took out three of the commem halves to have put holes for some of the ones missing. I am not sure why Dansco chose not to list some and then yet list others but for some reason they did

They have to draw the line somewhere.

We may not agree where they should have placed that line, but it must be done because no one wants to see a twenty page Dansco 7070 album.

Or do they.

jbuck I would take a 20 page 7070 :) I mean why not have the 1838 liberty Seated dime and Half Dime no stars, or the 1853 Seated quarter and half with rays as well as arrows and an 1854-1855 with arrows and a 1873 with arrows and motto. Heck that whitman set has a spot for 3 silver 3 cent pieces not just one. I love the idea of a more complete type set, plus you can always just sell the bare bones set maybe have a 7070, and 7070a and 7070b. I really am going to end up doing that Whitman set once my 7070 is done.

I couldn't find a 1838 Half Dime no stars today so I went with an 1857 O Half Dime in a very nice VF (it was the nicest type 1 no mottos they had, they had some nice xf and AU type 3's though for the 7070).

jbuck oh that whitman bookshelf might be beyond my budget with chain cents and what not but I sure as heck want to try my hand at it :)
