I was one that was waiting but have now decided to build a slabbed version. I guess I'm glad it took so long. Less raw coins to send in for grading.

Well, it looks like all guesses ending in 2013 were wrong. Anyone want to guess 2025 as the year?

It doesn't make since why they would do this to what is probably their most popular album when they can update other albums even faster? It doesn't make business since.
I do think it will come out sometime. When though is anyone's guess.

Quote: BTW, I called Dansco today (as many of you already have) to check on the 7070 status. The lady was very nice, but told me they're "still working on it" and it will "be ready in 2013". She couldn't tell me any more specific timeline. She also said she had no information about exactly what updates are being performed. Just for fun (or for torturing myself?) I gave Dansco a call again today. The lady that answered was same person I spoke with in Feb 2013. I asked for the 7070 status and she said "They're still working on the album, for all the updates, and I have no estimated time but it will be done. I do know it will be this year." She still had no information to share about the specific updates underway. So, 11 months later, it's the same story.  I'm revising my guess to October 2014 because hope is the last thing to die! -Steve

I also got the following email response from DanscoAlbumStore.com: "Hello Steve, I have not heard any release date....Its been about 3 years so I really think they will delay this until they print the new Roosevelt dime Page and a few Silver Eagle Pages. I personally don't expect it until the end of this year. Time will tell...I will add you to my list to contact once we hear something. Thank you for your email and if you have any other questions feel free to reply to this message."

The corporate line, "whenever someone asks a question we have no answer to, always say we are working on it. " " Never say NO always say MAYBE ".

Sorry, loganjonathan. April 2014 was taken almost a year ago. In fact, it was the FIRST guess on page 1 of this thread.

CONTEST UPDATE - NOW WITH PRIZES!
  
In order to make things more interesting, I'm adding actual prizes to the contest. It won't be anything spectacular, but I'll send a few US Type coins (including at least one piece of silver) to get a new 7070 album started to the winner. I'll monitor guesses by month and year. Here are the open valid guesses that were not duplicates and have not passed:
- bill069 - Mar 2014
- larsdog - Apr 2014
- GoldenChest - Jun 2014
- cheezyfryes - Oct 2014
- NewCollector210 - Sep 2014
- jgfindring - Jul 2015
- noahs-numismatics - Jun 2048 (no guarantees I'll monitor the contest this long!!)
Consider this a clean slate for guessing! If you want to revise your guess above (or if you are no longer on the list), you have one shot to give me a new guess. PS: If I win my own contest, I'll donate the coins to someone with a child just getting into the hobby.

Mods, could you please edit the topic of this thread to say "Dansco 7070 Release (now with prizes!)"
If it's not too much trouble, it would be great to put the following at the bottom of my original post: "UPDATE: See page 3 for prize information."
Thanks!
