Working On A 7070 US Type Set... Updated (06/10/2010)

This thread continues to amaze me with beautiful coins!

You are off to a great start!


A very good idea if you are building a high grade set.

I added 2 new coins to the type set this week!

A 1835 Capped Bust Dime PCGS VF-35 which I love! The quarter has some nice toning around rim on obv and rev that did not show well in the pics. I also picked up a nice 1962 Franklin half NGC Proof-66. This coin will most likely be booted out of the 7070 later on but I couldn't pass it up at the bargin price of $14 (Good Deal?) while picking up the quarter.

Pics of the 2 latest additions!

1962 Franklin Proof






I am going to a coin show in 2 weeks can't wait! Hopefully I will find a thing or two to pick up forthe set! I will try to keep you guys posted along the way.

I didn't read all 3 pages of this thread but did see this question and in my opinion one thing I would drop is 4 different half dollar commemoratives. there is quite a few (really expensive) coins that were left out as well but unless you are wanting to spend close to 100k for the coins just in AU (to fill the whole set) I would not even worry about those. If I had a special type I was really interested in like Johnny with the gold coins then I may add those types that weren't included. Are you going to be doing a 19th and 20th century type set or are you going to be doing a US type set with an example of every coin ever minted in the US? If its the later then your budget would have to be enormous to accomplish this and thats why most people have a start and end date/century

I know most of you have already seen these coins in other threads, I have decided to bring this thread back and consolidate my type set coins back to one thread, as there are some great coins posted by Gary and Johnny as well as my type set updates. I want to limit it to one thread if anyone is interested in following along in my persuit of a complete and unique type set.

I got a slip in the mail today saying they are holding a package for me to pick up in the morning! My Newest Addition! Can't Wait! Will update tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind words Moe! I know you have a nice 7070, so you know the excitement of finding that perfect coin to fill the slot. It is highly addictive I still have a long long way to go as I am only around 20% complete, but loving every minute!

the highest priced coins in my album is the older Half Cents and large cents and I have the gold page as well. If you are looking for problem free AU or above these are very pricey, so if you are wanting to get the higher priced coins out of the way first this would be where I would start. You can always wait till spot price falls to get common date gold and get them close to spot but those coppers don't follow any spot price and they are doing nothing but rising in value
