@AgCoinAu, 7070 isn't a coin, it's the folder the coins go inside. Nice coins by the way! |

solotime... so what's special about a 7070 folder? I'm not getting it in SO many ways... but have seen some threads on 7070 before I just have no idea and would like to learn just a bit.. why is this folder so special.. (and apparently why is the folder so expensive? or hard to get)
What types of coins go in the folder... what's the relavance to the number 7070... I honestly did do a search on here and a google search but really didn't come up with much.. sorry for hijacking the thread... I just would like to learn so I can better appreciate..

That is an impressive 7070 page right there! Interesting reversing some of the ones that have similar obverses so you can see both sides, but I noticed you didn't do it to all of them (Shields, Liberty Head, and Buffalo); any particular reason for the madness or did you just decide to start doing it after you had those ones in? The fact that I reverse some coins is really more of a preference thing. I like to have the best side facing the front, and normally I buy these coins more for the obverse eye appeal than reverse eye appeal; but some of them have much nicer reverses....so I put that side forward. For example my legends Seated dime is a proof. The reverse side has nicer toning, plus it has a cameo....where as the obverse has no cameo, and the toning isn't as nice. |

so...what's so special about a 7070? Background: Dansco publishes a coin collecting Album for US Type coins. It starts with the early Half Cents and progresses through US numismatic history, and denominations, to modern day. Dansco (randomly) chose to list this US Type Album as Dansco Album 7070. Many of us US coin collectors strive VERY hard to perfect our 7070 specimens and are (like Johnny54321!) very proud of how they look. If you click on the "Days of ..." threads link at the bottom of my post you can visit some of the old 7070 threads we've held. Edited by Moe145

Some great coins there. Have you purchased all these raw or have you cracked some out?
