Littleton Lt-7070 Album Advice/Encouragement Needed

I do it all the time!!

What is in the Littleton 7070? I am a huge type collector and can tell you wants in the Dansco 7070. the whitman type, the whitman 20th century type, the whitman 20th and 21st century type, the Littleton 20th century type. But never looked into the Littleton type set.

From my experience the Littleton is the simplest of the 20th century type sets (Whitman's is 39 coins for the 20th Century and 40 for the 20th and 21st Century while Littletons 20th Century is only 29 coins for the 20th century) not sure how there type set. I know that the Whitman type is much smaller than the Dansco at 43 coins versus 76. I think Intercept Shield has the largest type set of all of them.

I am a huge type collector. I am doing the Dansco 7070 (only 16 coins to go), two Whitman 20th Century type albums (one for each of my boys) and I am going to do a Whitman 20th and 21st Century for me when I am done with my boys sets and my 7070 and maybe even a Whitman 20th century for me.

And as far as the two Seated Liberty dollars being %25 of the set in low grades the whole set would have to be low grades for that too happen. Low grades on the two Seated dollars will likely run you $500-600 so the whole set would need to be just 2k for that to factor out. My set is worth $1650 with 16 coins to go (all the more pricey ones) that I will think will take the set to like 3000-3500 when all done and before I began upgrading (the great thing about doing multiple type sets is I can upgrade coins from my set and pass them off to my boys set or my other sets like I might do a basic Whitman type set to pass off the 19 century coins to problem is then I am stuck doing more Trade dollars and Seated Liberty dollars kind of why I like doing the 20th century sets as they can all be done for $300-400).

I'd do the set oh well if you never finish it will still look nice half full.

Edit on a side not just looked to see what was in the Whitman Type set they only do one Seated dollar but holy crap they do a 1794-1803 flowing hair bust dollar.

Is the Littleton one green like the rest of there albums?

If its the same as the Dansco, that's 76 coins. Of those 76 coins the first 35 is very easy. Heck you probably can do 25 coins of the 76 for under $20 a piece in MS or BU state just knocking out the modern coins and the 20th century coins.

There are some killers for sure depending on what grades you go with. Trade dollar, Seated dollars, Twenty Cent, draped bust Half Cent and Large cent. On the low end you could probably do the set for 2k but a nice set will cost you more in the 3k-4k range. Heck a super nice set can run 10k (I think we have a user who has a set like that).

Its fun heck if you do the set for the next 20 years and just add a coin here and there still fun.

No, the album is not the Littleton green series. For a short while some unknown number of years ago, Littleton bought Dansco albums and had the Littleton name stamped on them in the same gold as Dansco. It IS a Dansco 7070, just says Littleton instead of Dansco. Same brown and everything, exact same pages, exact same frustrations on what is included and what isn't.

The most recent 7070 (sans Gold page) holds 76 coins. So besides the State Quarter, what else is missing? I suspect you only have six holes on the last page? Standard has eight: three bicentennial holes (dollar, half dollar, quarter), SBA, Sacagawea, 50 State Quarter, Commemorative Dollar, and ASE.

Ah, so it is missing the Statehood Quarter and the Sacagawea. Thank you for settling my curiosity.

I decided to see how many coins that I already had which were not in US Mint packaging that would go into the album.











So far 36 of the 74 spaces filled.

A friend back in the States has been holding onto an 1837 Large Cent for me since it does not make sense for him to send a single coin across the pond to me.

I could fill three more holes if I decided to break free a few coins from mint packaging. I have the Louis Braille Proof Dollar, George Washington Half Dollar Proof, Bill of Rights Half Dollar Proof, and Bald Eagle Proof Half Dollar but right now I rather have those in the mint packaging.
