Quote:I started mine a month ago and it is a lot of fun. Mine is going to be pretty slow though since I want semi-keys or keys for most of the coins. So far, the only ones of those I have are a 1973 silver Ike, the silver 1976S JFK bicentennial half and a 1949S Ben Franklin half and a 1909S Barber dime. I'm doing the exact opposite, since my budget would never allow me to go with semi-keys and keys. I want non-key dates so I can load up most of my album with attractive looking coins of AU+ quality, some of them will most certainly be toned. I hope to get most of the coins raw, I don't have the heart to break open slabs. |

I "finished" mine three years ago. Than I added the gold page, than I changed to all proofs for the moderns, and I am still upgrading the rest of it. Just won on Heritage a AU-50 1861 Half Dime and on ebay a 1831 Bust Dime in XF45, both coins upgrading examples in F-12. Just know going in that a 7070 may never be finished, but I can say there is nothing else in my collection that I am more proud of owning. Go for it - you will have a lot of fun. |

This is exactly what I have been doing. A high AU-MS only common date 7070. Just started mine in fact. Here are a few that I have photoed. Would love to see some photos of everyone elses!       |

You crazy, Nod! Look who's talking Mr. Moe, as you tried to sneak your 1909-s Indian cent in your "Bronze Indian cent" slot!   |

three year old camera, two sources of lighting (usually sunlight + 1 desk lamp) and a steady hand. |

Thanks for all the encouragement everybody. I'll get a 7070 this weekend probably.  One more question though. Should I buy the slipcase to go along with the album? Edited by wheatguy

You are going to have a lot of money in this collection before you are finished. Buying a slip cover is a no-brainer no matter where it is stored.

OK, I'll get the slipcase too. Seems like a good investment and doesn't cost much. Thanks.

I will tell you I think anyone who loves coins should start one of these albums. If I hadn't started mine when I did I may not even be collecting coins at all because I was really getting burnt out on Morgans at the time and this really started me loving the hobby while working on it. Even though my album isn't completely finished yet I have been thinking about updating my pictures of my 7070 but just haven't gotten around to it as of yet. I changed my Morgan dollar to a 1878 DMPL VAM-70 since I thought it would better represent my collecting interests than the DMPL Obverse common date example I had in there |

Wow that really is a nice set, Brayan1315. I saw it yesterday and was amazed by the quality and eye appeal of some of the coins. Your link doesn't seem to be working now, though.
