I want a type set, but I want one that I can put the coins in slabs into.

I guess I am in the majority here by choosing "Have started a 7070 and working to fill every hole!"My 7070 started in the 1990's when a dealer suggested it to me, knowing I had a good start already (I had already accumulated some type coins that were hiding in other Dansco albums, like a Morgan and Peace dollar in my Eisenhower album, two commemorative half dollars in the Kennedy album, and several duplicates in other albums). I have not really worked on it lately, other than casual looking at coins shows. The last thing I added was a 1905 IHC I got from Kurt last year.  2001 was the last really active year. I added my 1833 Large Cent, 1859 IHC, 1857 Seated half dime, 1841 Seated dime, and an 1853 Seated dime with Arrows.  I am down far enough on the list where I feel the need to really research what I am buying, so I expect this to take a while.  |

Also have a 7070 and working to fill every hole. I guess the best way to describe my effort is that I have a hard time leaving my local dealer empty handed! While he doesn't always have a Mercury dime or Buffalo nickel that I need, I can almost always find something to fill a hole in the 7070. It's fairly easy to find coins now, but as the album fills up it'll become harder. |

I've never been particularly fond of the idea of storing coins in a coin book/binder/[your favorite term here] as I worry about allowing that much exposure to the air. Of course, if serious collectors do it it's almost certainly harmless, but I'm just so much more accustomed to individual cardboard flips for my coins that I'll probably never change.
That said, if I ever were to get an album, I'd already be a good way toward my type set, as during my teenage years I had established it as my goal to try and get at least one of every coin variety ever made. Most of whatever I'm missing is 1793-1809 range coins of all denominations and almost all higher-denomination gold. In the absence of available early coins in my area (I have an AG 1798 cent, that's it), I'm currently working (slowly) toward getting a variety of gold.

I have one, and I am currently working on every hole. Just got a 1865 3CN yesterday. I want the entire last page in proof, so far all that's left is the sac. and the silver eagle. Other than that, no proofs. Also, I'm down to the "expensive coins" so it will be a slow process. I've had more fun with this set than any other so far.

I too, at the moment am looking to fill each hole. I purchased the book with about 20 coins in it already. The lower priced coins are almost done, then I can guess that the rest will be really slow to get. I have an old book at the moment, so the last page of modern is bicentennial and SBAThat entire page is proofs...I will most likely try to get proofs where I can, but that may never happen. Generally that would be cost prohibative for me. |

 with coincollectingkid: any of those sources are good. I bought most of my Dansco books on ebay. Do a Dansco 7070 album search and go from there! (I would buy a new one so all your coins look great from the start!) |

I have been working on my 7070 for two years now, I have just three holes to left to fill and later maybe an upgrade.

A couple of years ago, 2 of my sons and I each did a set of 20th century coins (Whitman). Honestly, at the time I did not know what a 7070 was. I am now on the verge of jumping in. |

rjb, A 7070 is the number code used by Dansco album company for a 19-21st century US type set. I personally am not using the book just using the slots as a guideline for my type set which I am adding a few more importnat types to.

Have a 7070, but I'm very picky and sometimes get distracted by other good deals going on.

Wow, after seeing a lot of type set threads, I am considering starting one, but I have some other sets I'm working on, and am intimidated by the size.
