That is really a nice example. It's been great watching you work toward completion. I wish you the best with those Seated dollars. |

Looks like a long labor of love. Congrats.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

On a side note, the hole in my album for the coin is too big for the coin to fit snugly. it kind of slides around when I am moving the album around or turning that pages. Does anyone know how to fix this? |

Nice collection! I didn't know there was a name for it (why 7070?) I tried googling why but no clear answer so far.

@jillabean....7070 stands for the model number of the Dansco album. Dansco has albums for all types of coins and they will all have a number. Dansco #7070 type set album Danscos for Ike dollars are #7176 Ike dollars with proofs #8176 proof albums always start with an 8 and they make them for most every denomination Also....The 7070's are currently out of print and hard to find. |

Thanks Debrajc! That would explain why, when I googled it, I got ebay auctions for the Dansco albums. |

Does anyone know how to fix this? I had the same problem with one of my large cents. I cut a thin piece from one of the ID cards that come with 2x2 mylar flips & used it as a shim. Nice set by the way. I started one several years ago & haven't made as much progress you have. I'm still short most of the Half Cents, a couple half dollars, some of the quarters, & one of the Seated dollars. |

I wasn't planning on doing this upgrade, but when I saw this coin in the half price bucket at my LCS, I knew I had to get it. In all, this coin cost me $6 after I traded my old one to the shop owner... Before   After   Edited by CoinCollector2012

The best album for anyone wanted to start A Type Set. Great price for the upgrade CoinCollector2012.
I still have many holes to fill, but I am looking for at least VF quality for some of the coins, plus its the newer style 7070 with the Bicentennial page. I added the gold page 2 years ago, surprisingly I have finished the gold page before the other pages.
