It's a beauty. I wonder how much money it would take to put together a set like that.

I actually just started a Dansco 7070 myself but mine is going to be minus the gold for right now, I have 2 more sheets to go and mine will be finished. Its been pretty rough because I would like to have no lower than MS-60 and its really cutting into my morgan collecting because some of these things are almost impossible to find in that grade atleast ones you can afford. I have cracked more slabs opened since I started this set than I ever thought I would in my life

I'm pretty sure I saw him comment in a thread the other day that the set had cost him $15,000 so far, but he was still occasionally upgrading. It's not a cheap album in those high grades.....  |

But for some people, 15k is like chump change. That set always works. I'm actually thinking about tackling a 7070 myself, that set's a great benchmark to try and reach.

Yea morganman, so what, Huhhh. So we are all jealous, OK for you!!! Just seeing photos of your set I personally think it is the nicest set I have ever seen outside of the Smithsonian. I have seen nicer individual pieces at coin shows, but for your efforts, you deserve an A++++++ in Numismatics. Congrats on your hours of work putting the set together. You must be very proud and rightfully so.

I can only WISH that it was mine..... MM  Edit: I actually reposted it because I think it is one of the most beautiful sets I have ever seen, I have no idea whose it is, but wanted some of the newer members to see what a sight it is. Edited by morganman

I have that same album, but the coins in mine aren't nearly that nice! No gold, either. Sigh...  Rachel  Edited by Kyra

Beautiful coins. Just when I thought I had my mind set on the direction (coins) I wanted to concentrate on!

I'm currently working on this type set too. Trying to keep it above XF and I'm still running low on funds. Its a very interesting set to work on, specially since my interest keeps on changing.

W2UP is also a top ham radio contester, so he's gotta have top gear which probably set him back another $15K... or more. If he's got a tower or two, each could easily run $10K.
His type set is the model I'd like to use if I ever get started on my own type set. There'll probably be a few unfilled spaces for an indefinite period.
