My 7070 US Type Set - Completed! (With Pics)

Thanks everybody! Definitely a fun set to build and not too many budget busters in that set. I don't think I am spending them anytime soon!




It definitely has a neat look to it. There is a chance that someone did a little "artificial toning" to it, but it is an interesting piece that fits into the album well.




Unfortunately the gold page is a $6000 or more investment. Even if I did a gold set, I would probably do certified coins and leave them in the holders. I'd love to do a gold set in the 7070 though. Maybe someday.

Wonderful set and congratulations! I struggle parting with the money for Seated dollars.

Congrats!! I like the row of Small Cents (Flying Eagle to Lincoln Wheat). I have 6 slots go go on mine.

I really like that set! Especially nice are your selections in bust and Seated coins. The circulated Oregon half is a nifty touch that only a numismatist would appreciate! (must have taken forever to find that!)

WAY TO GO KENKAT! Very nice looking set! You beat me to completion! This is a tough set to put together regardless of grade, and you have some great examples in there. I think my favorite is your draped bust large cent. It looks very clean and has an attractive color with decent details. These coins command a high premium without corrosion, and I have yet to find a decent one in the price range I'm willing to work with.

Also, is your type 1 slq whizzed?

Thanks again everyone! I can't tell you how much I enjoy having a place where I can see other's collections and share mine with others who love coins as much as I do.

I really tried to select nice looking coins while still staying on a budget. It was very tough. Compromises were made! One coin at a time - I struggled with patience - a very hard thing for me.

It's also a hard set to photograph. I played around with lighting a lot to mostly good results. Brown copper next to bright silver is a real challenge!




Those were two of the more expensive coins in the album. I got the 1860-O from an ANACS details slab (Cleaned, Corroded - but I don't see the corroded part) at a great price and the 1872 I also got a pretty good deal on raw from a reliable dealer.




The 1800 Draped Bust Large Cent was purchased along with the 1810 Classic Head Large Cent for what is an unbelievable price of $50 for both. I was buying some Lincoln Wheat Cents and the guy asked what else I collected and I talked about my 7070 and he offered these two. They are only in the G/VG range, but nice overall and corrosion-free. They were planned to be hole fillers but given what these cost in higher grades, they may be there for awhile. A long while!

I was told the Type 1 SLQ came out of an ANACS AU details slab - cleaned. It was raw when I bought it. It has started to retone and the cleaning is pretty light. The price was good so there it is. It is a pretty nice looking coin actually but didn't photograph very well due to lighting challenges related to the toned coins above.

Now you did it! I had to purchase the album to put my type coins in. Thanks for the push!

BTW...great looking set!

Wow!

Very nice. Congratulations!
