I am really liking this "new to me" camera, so I am retaking a lot of my 7070 slabs, still working on getting the full (black & white) cameo effect;

Awesome coins!

I'm looking to upgrade the bicentennial row in my 7070 - may I borrow yours?

Oh my, I have the foggiest of ideas what the settings are, other than point & shoot, maximum megapixel (10), super fine setting. I know the camera is a Canon SD790IS.

As far as values, according to numismedia.com for Collector Fair Market Values;

Ike 42.50 / Kennedy 33.75 / Washington 28.75

Great looking set. Upgrading to PR70dcam in silver is probably going to be outlandishly expensive.

How are you storing you slabs for the 7070 set.

Right now I am storing them in these Lighthouse Slab Trays ($8.95 for two plus s/h);

...and the eight trays are placed into a 1500 Pelican Case.

Upgrading to PF70DCAM is not even an option, I have other holes in my 7070 that I can fill for that kind of money...if I had it.

Why slabs? (answering PM question which I thought could be read by all) I had some friends over one night, and someone asked how my coins collecting was doing. I brought out my Dansco 7070 to pass around and one of the "little ones" got ahold of it and slid the plastic protection sheet and one of the coins (modern thankfully) dropped out and hit the tiled kitchen floor. One of my friends suggested slabs for protection and there was no looking back.

I used the UNC versions minted at SanFransisco for mine. I had both the Proof and UNC sets and thought the UNC version would go better with the other coins in the album so that is what I used
