Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 08:33 am Congratulations on your very nice set! Mine has been on the back-burner for now with my focus on my World Crown album (since some of those coins I can get for spot at my LCS, therefore much easier to actually buy) but eventually I will get those Seated dollars/few Large cents left.

batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 09:44 am A couple folks asked which was the hardest to find and a couple asked which was the last coin to get. I'm curious to know also. Although I filled the last hole in mine a year ago after working on it off and on for 30-35 years. But, I can't say it's finished, there are plenty of upgrades still to do. Not sure which was "hardest" for me to find. Nowadays if you can find almost anything online, although I got most of my 7070 coins over the years from coin shows. But, the two Seated Liberty dollars were my last ones, mainly due to expense more than anything. The funny thing is I just now noticed I had a seated liberty and the Trade dollar switched (wrong holes). I had a brain fart I guess. Report this Post to the Staff

Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 10:31 am Batboy...Reading your post was almost like reading a biography of collecting my 7070! I worked on mine on and off for around 25-30 years. Also, the last ones to acquire were the two Seated dollars because of the price. And boy have some prices gone up! I still remember the day I bought my 1798 Large Cent, 2nd hair style (s-187) for my 7070. Today it would set me back over 6x what I paid for it back then! Report this Post to the Staff
52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8521 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 10:51 am Congrats ! I bought a couple 7070's for fifteen bucks apiece and tricked em out with the modern bicentennial and gold pages. I can't find those pages anymore or I would buy more. Should have loaded up.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 11:59 pm Very nice! From one Nickel Guy to another, you done good sonny. Keep upgrading as you can. That 1826 Half Cent and the 1875 Twenty Cents are eye catching coins. Who has two Seated dollars? Nickel Guy that's who! Report this Post to the Staff

Typeguy38 Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 3:20 pm Excellent work, sir! Plenty of sharp coins there. The 7070 is by far the pride and joy of my collection. I did make the mistake of including several details coins in the set, but at the time, a filler was better than a hole. Yours looks very nice as is ... but I'm sure that, like me, you're already prioritizing which upgrades to do first! Mine are easy: the two coins with holes drilled in them!
