Thank you, everyone!  Quote: You really make me want to start a 7070. It's probably the most fun I've had putting together a set, I think because of the variety. I enjoy looking at and learning about different coins.

As I've mentioned before regarding the commemorative half dollar holes, I elected to do 2 classic and 2 modern coins, each of which I would have some connection to. I've already filled the modern holes, which leaves the classic holes. I filled one of those with this 1946 Iowa Centennial Half Dollar that I cracked from a PCGS MS-66 holder:

Quote: Do it! I'll think about it when I'm done with the Dollar Date set but I'm only missing 3 for the slabbed set and the cost of those 3 just turns me off from completing the set and now the cost of gold is turning me off from completing Page 5. And I agree with jBuck, really nice COMM!

Thanks all!  Quote: I'll think about it when I'm done with the Dollar Date set but I'm only missing 3 for the slabbed set and the cost of those 3 just turns me off from completing the set and now the cost of gold is turning me off from completing Page 5. Are the 3 coins you're referring to the Seated Liberty dollars and the Trade dollar?

For what it is worth, the two Seated Liberty dollars were my last two 7070 coins. I was only able to afford them by buying details (i.e. cleaned) examples. I have no problem buying them because my 7070 already had some "iffy" well circulated examples.  I can imagine needing two of each can sting a little.

For the Seated Liberty dime with stars hole, I added this 1850 that features nice circulation cameo.

For the final commemorative half dollar hole, I've added a 1936-S Rhode Island that I freed from a PCGS MS-64 slab. I enjoy the design and the history of the Rhode Island half dollar, and the 1936-S is the least common of the three mints. The coin has nice white surfaces in hand.
