I've been a collector for over 25 years and I never started a Dansco 7070  I know I have many of the coins needed for the slots. I am lacking the gold coins but, will leave those for later. What are the coins needed from first 'page' to the last, does anyone have the list in order? Thanks  swcoin.ecrater.com

Yes. The Dansco 7070 album is a 'type album'. An example of each type of U.S. coin minted.

Definitely get one! Check the link in my signature to view my complete 7070 album (with a few additions thanks to the magic of Photoshop).

I bought the gold coins pretty recently when gold was at about $1600/ounce and I paid a significant premium to get the coins in AU condition. All together, I probably paid right around $6000 for the whole set (the dollars were around $300 each). I don't think I would do it again, but at the time I convinced my wife that it was a good time to invest in a small amount of gold. Since she agreed, I decided to get these instead of just getting some pure bullion.

One of the nicer things about any type set is it takes your mind off of many other collections. For example trying to complete a Large Cent Album plus several other Albums. So instead you concentrate on just one thing. Or so it appears.

$6000 for all the gold coins. The $20 Gold pieces (double eagles) were between $1700-1800 apiece and the rest were basically fractions of that amount ($900 for each Eagle, $450-500 for each half eagle, etc.)

as was offered in a previous post, if you need nice type coins, I would highly recom coinguybrian (AKA shadowcreator). I have purchased (or traded) a few times with him and his coins are always great and he seems to have grades that really fit. Ok back to your regular chat...

Very cool info. Like I said, I have many needed coins already. This is going to quite an endeavor. I have various grades and will upgrade later if I decide that. I do have two Half Eagles but will probably not throw the 1844-D in there.

the gold coins in my album were the first holes I filled and when I got the 20.00 gold coins they were like 600 bucks a piece and the St Gaudens was graded MS-62 by PCGS so I got lucky compared to todays prices on the Gold coins
