Moe ... thank you for your kind words. When you think about it, you can understand why some of the "no hole varieties" are left out of the 7070. I, and I'm sure that many of the other members, do not have the funds to buy those three dollars at today's prices. If those holes were in the album I believe that many people who went with the 7070 would not have even started their collection. Luckily in my case, they were acquired at early sixties prices before my "real life" took precedence.

Jeffrose - that same rationale is why the Gold page is available separately. Here are the approximate melt costs for the 90% silver, 99.9% silver, and 90% gold coins of the 7070 with the Gold page added (doesn't include 35% silver War Nickel or any commemorative halves or dollars): Silver: approx 10.4 oz. @ $28.52 = $296.61 Gold: approx 3.72 oz @ $1570.79 = $5843.34 That means you can choose your quality on the silver part of the 7070 and make it affordable for you, but you can't touch the coins needed for the gold page for less than $6 thousand, even buying the poorest quality available. That might be an issue for some folks. It sure is for me!

Just for giggles, here is the former Liberty Seated dollar (Motto) that used to live in my 7070 album before I upgraded to my current specimen:   It's still a pretty expensive coin, so I'm going to hang onto it and eventually give it to my 8-year-old son for his budding 7070 album.
