Just got in a 7070 page 6 (Gold page) for my Dansco album It cost me $99.00 - the cheapest I have seen in a long time Now we'll see if I'm able to actually afford to place coins in it.  |

Well, sir, you have thrown a gauntlet to yourself. It's a brave thing to start buying gold coins when commodities are so hot. Also, the page is $99?  I feel like I need to go into the Dansco page business! |

You have indeed set yourself up for a financial challenge with gold hovering at ~5K/ounce. I look forward to seeing you fill some of those holes.  Quote:

Umm, nope, I'll be socking away money to buy them (Hmm, maybe I'll get my bike repaired and start some midnight riding and seeking out scattered change Quote:I look forward to seeing you fill some of those holes.

Very nice! Quote:
Well at some point, Dansco added a new page 5 to showcase the Bicentennial coins. Yes. The first 7070s only had four pages with an optional fifth page for gold. They later included a fifth page in the album for bicentennial and then SBA. The current version of this page also has "modern" coins—Sac dollar, statehood dollar, commemorative silver dollar, and ASE. I guess they never bothered to change the page number for the optional gold page and decided to use page 6 for the new modern page...  https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pr...coinage.html |

Out of curiosity, I calculated the amount of change that needs to be picked up off the streets and sidewalks to fill the gold page. This is bullion value only, not numismatic. The price of gold from my check a few minutes ago was $5,185.30/oz, which is what I used in the calculation. Coin # of coins in 7070 Oz. Gold (per coin) Bullion Cost $1 2 0.0484 $501.73 $2.50 2 0.120951109 $1,254.34 $5 2 0.24187 $2,508.34 $10 2 0.48375 $5,016.78 $20 2 0.9675 $10,033.56 Total $19,314.74  |

Hmmm... if you average $1/night, it would take you 52 years to complete the purchases. You need to get that bike up and running ASAP, Dearborn! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

3.7165 troy ounces of gold in the 7070. I should have gotten in when it was $500 an ounce.  |
