If your current financial situation only allows 1 MS coin a month, so be it. . I guess I'm the oddball then. I choose to themake a set of my own design choosing (based on the generic 7070) but expanded to cover some examples not included, such as Colonials, Proof/MS issues of same year (that is a type, for an example). I went date wise , 18th-21st Century. My "budget" is disability income, so this bull of buying a slab or MS a month is ridiculous. That would mean I spend all of two to three months of set aside funds on one coin on high dollar. I'm 66 years old, have health issues, I may kick over any day. I'd like to have the personal satisfaction of a completed set to enjoy for myself a little bit. No one cares about Gramp's coins, just how much does it add up to. It will be interesting after I'm gone for CRHers in MO to get an 1838 reeded half in a roll! But you see, it's complete to MY satisfaction, that's what counts. I can now work on my next two types, a "holed coin 7070" and a PO1/Cull 7070...have very good starts on both! Report this Post to the Staff

I had many of the coins scattered throughout my collection, in albums, loose random coins, coins I could break out of mint sets and slabs, etc.. Pretty much how I started the 7070. I had other types filling out the blank holes at the ends of my modern Dansco albums. Saw the 7070 at a coin show and thought what the heck.

In my 7070 I currently have a common date BU Morgan dollar. ! Broke her out, my kind of guy! Report this Post to the Staff

Find the absolute worst coin, one that is barely identifiable and fill the hole. I'm thinking a complete set real fast! Report this Post to the Staff
