I must admit, I have no interest in following a collecting path that someone else has laid out, whether it's Dansco or anybody, but isn't the purpose of the 7070 the chase? I'd be as likely to purchase a filled-out New York Times crossword puzzle as a completed 7070.

It does seem like a lot of money for a collection with most of the classics in average circulated condition. Heck, even the 1883 NC nickle is circulated.

gotta agree the fun of it is finding them and putting them in the book (which isn't easy)

They are asking too much in my opinion based on the grades of the coins in the set. For that amount, I think you could assemble a set in VF or better. Plus you get the fun of building it yourself.

Seems way too much money for what it is

It is a very nice circulated set, but, as mentioned, they are asking a bit much for it. If it were a good deal, and I had the money, I would likely buy it, not because I would want a 7070 completed that way, but because I can use those coins in my general collection. I too would rather build the collection myself.

Would anyone have the time and the willingness to come up with a more reasonable asking price? I agree - not much quality to be had here. Way overpriced. I recently bought an 1837 Half Dime in XF, no stars, and have an 1837 Dime in XF, no stars, on layaway. There is not a spot for them in this album, yet is a real variety. Sorry, but I think that the 7070 is overrated as an album. |

I think it would be easy to put together this album if you are willing to put coins in any condition in it like it looks like they did here. The challenge is finding the coins in the condition that you want them to be in. Some of the coins are very easy to find in lower grades but almost impossible to find is AU or above grades

I do think the price is on the high side, not sure how much, with out looking up each coin. Gut feeling a couple thousand high .. based on greysheet bid price. Quote:

Way too much I think and you could get off to a good start on the Dansco 7070 at a local coin show and pick up some nice pieces

GR58, I actually have no preference for an album. My project to build a modest type set of Seated Liberty coins will be housed in 2X2s. I find them raw from a trusted dealer. The four Barber Series and housed in Dansco, except for six dimes in plastic. Nickels and dimes are both complete and grade AT LEAST fine or above. Everyone should make his or her own decision as to how to house coins. I am happy with mine. |
