Bryan, very nice!
I have a question. I am thinking of maybe starting this collection. However, after looking at your album I was wondering...for each slot do you need two of the same coins to show both obv and rev in the album? Thanks.

I'm going to need to get an album too. So far I've been storing them in 2x2 pages but they look much better in the album.

I have to totally agree with you on that one, I thought I was enjoying collecting Morgans until I got this album and now it has literally lit a spark under my rear end again for collecting. I have only been working on this thing for about 3 months tops so you can tell I eat sleep and drink Dansco7070

That is so true after thirty years of collecting I was getting board then in Oct of last year I started my set. The spark is back and I now live for this set I have learned more about U S coinage from this set then I have in thirty years.

Bryan, how did you get your own website for the 7070? And BTW, if you haven't heard it enough already-beautiful coins!

it is just the web page that comes with roadrunner (I think they give you 5 or 10MB of web space) and I just developed it for the Dansco7070, well actually it is a sub page not the main page

Beautiful coins. As you know, I began a Dansco 7070 a short time ago after reading about them here in the forum. Outside of having to buy a few (Draped Bust, Capped Bust)I filled the majority of the holed with coins I have on hand - hadn't really paid that much attention to how many different types I've got laying around. I've got all the holes filled except ten - still nedd a draped bust Half Cent, Coronet Half Cent, Capped Bust quarter, Capped Bust-Reeded Edge half dollar, three more commemorative halves, the two Seated Liberty dollars, and the Trade dollar. Of course, unlike your album, my coins are well-circulated - they've been out amongst the hordes, but I like 'em. I, too, was getting a little stale looking at the same types all the time, and this has given me a whole different direction to go in, and I like it. When I fill this one, I'm going to start one with higher grade coins. This is going to be an ongoing thing for me. |

I didn't have many coins at all to fill many holes because I had only been collecting about a year total and that whole time I had been collecting Morgans and thats mostly it, so I was basically starting from scratch except for the modern coins

Bryan, I hear ya on the time thing. I'm sure you'll recall from some of my previous posts, I only started collecting in March of 2005, and my collection is a hodgepodge of many different types and grades dating back to the Seated Liberty series - Capped Bust now that I have the 7070 album.
Buying this album was the shot in the arm I was needing because I, too, had concentrated primarily on the dollar and half dollar coins.
I have alot of loose coins ranging from G-4 through MS - not enough of some types to buy an album for yet - usually wait until I have a couple dozen of a particular type before I buy an album for them - so this 7070 album has been just the ticket for me. It allows me to organize, as well as view these coins without digging through a bunch trying to look for a particular coin. I absolutely love it. I could probably fill another couple of them about half way with the old and new coins I have on hand, but I want the next one to be filled with higher grade coins, and, with my income, that one will take quite awhile to complete.

it is now updated with my first "Double Eagle" as promised. It was a PCGS MS-62 that I got for 715.00 including shipping which I think is a pretty good price

I finally sat back and looked at the album long and hard tonight and noticed I have gotten allot further than I ever expected to get within the short amount of time I have been working on this album. There are 86 holes including the gold coins and I need 35 more coins to have the album complete (that is including the ones that are going to be upgraded) The lowest graded coin I will have in there is an AU-50 and the overall percentage is about MS-62 which I am happier than a puppy with two wieners about

Beautiful coins Bryan. Every time I see a st. gaudens double eagle I like it a bit more than the time before. Now it's a matter of getting the $700 to get one!! |

Bryan, that is an absolutely stunning set. You should be proud of what you have put together. The photos are some of the best looking coins I have seen on this forum. Well done. Steve

Bryan1315,
A gorgeous album. The coins are fantastic... Good work, just hope you are able to finish it relatively fast.... I know money is always a problem, but good luck.
A piece of advice, the next time you photograph the album put some sort of backing between the leafs to preclude seeing other coins from being seen, which will really highlight the leaf that you are showing.
