Congrats on finishing the set! That's quite an accomplishment, especially at your age. Best of luck on your first show setup!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement!! To be completely honest, I was trying to complete mine before jbuck. I failed   He purchased his last Seated dollar before I did  Quote: Best of luck on your first show setup! I edited my last post, the show was actually last Saturday. The show did go very well, and I met some neat and interesting folks. Great learning experience too! Strangely I felt more comfortable on the selling end than the buying end.

My type set is complete EXCEPTfor two VERY expensive coins. Oh, and no gold with pre-1834 designs. Oh, and no proofs (that takes care of the Stellas). C'mon Powerball or Mega Millions

Way to persevere! Your set looks very nice. I started a 7070 several years ago. But I kept asking myself "where is my 20-cent piece?! Where is that 1889 Morgan dollar - I know I had it somewhere?!" So, I pulled everything out and put it with the other things. Now, I have an empty 7070 sitting on the shelf. Do you think there would be any interest if I put it up on the Buy/Sell/Trade page?

There is always interest in Dansco 7070s. If it doesn't sell here then it will sell on ebay, as long as it is at a good price

Great looking set! However, I wish that Dansco would split their 7070 into a classic and modern version. Would be easier to keep the cost down.

@jbuck - wow, what a beautiful Seated dollar! Some might say a coin such as this, and finally completing a 7070 after a bit of time, might deserve more than pages 17 and 18 of a 20 page post. Some might say that. Some might even think it could deserve its own post. But I know you don't post often so it is understandable.
