Thank you, everyone!  Quote:
You really make me want to start a 7070. It's probably the most fun I've had putting together a set, I think because of the variety. I enjoy looking at and learning about different coins. |

As I've mentioned before regarding the commemorative half dollar holes, I elected to do 2 classic and 2 modern coins, each of which I would have some connection to. I've already filled the modern holes, which leaves the classic holes. I filled one of those with this 1946 Iowa Centennial Half Dollar that I cracked from a PCGS MS-66 holder:   |

Do it! I'll think about it when I'm done with the Dollar Date set but I'm only missing 3 for the slabbed set and the cost of those 3 just turns me off from completing the set and now the cost of gold is turning me off from completing Page 5. And I agree with jBuck, really nice COMM! Edited by hfjacinto

Are the 3 coins you're referring to the Seated Liberty dollars and the Trade dollar? |

For what it is worth, the two Seated Liberty dollars were my last two 7070 coins. I was only able to afford them by buying details (i.e. cleaned) examples. I have no problem buying them because my 7070 already had some "iffy" well circulated examples.  I can imagine needing two of each can sting a little.  |

Nice stroll looking at the coins you've chosen. Thanks! 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."

For the Seated Liberty dime with stars hole, I added this 1850 that features nice circulation cameo.   |

For the final commemorative half dollar hole, I've added a 1936-S Rhode Island that I freed from a PCGS MS-64 slab. I enjoy the design and the history of the Rhode Island half dollar, and the 1936-S is the least common of the three mints. The coin has nice white surfaces in hand.   |
