This seller is asking 5900 but I was wondering for a set specifically about this caliber of coins approx. how much would the value be once the set is complete? I am on the journey to complete a type set like this and was wondering what I would be looking at way down the road? http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-Type-Se...em4d2902d228 |

The market, time and specific grades will all be a large factor in the equation if you want to build one from scratch.
For example:
Market - The price will vary (sometimes considerably) if the coin you're looking for is in demand or not.
Time - I purchased one coin for my book over 20 years ago for $80. If I bought it today, it would set me back over $425.
Grade - Sometimes just one grade up or down can create a large variance in price.
Personally I would not purchase one, I would rather build one.

I would probably stay away from it. I assembled a complete 7070 and part of the enjoyment was being able to hand select each coin.

Hard to tell with out seeing each coin. Coins with problems will cut heavy into the price.
If those coins have no problem, it might be hard to put that set together, in those grades, for that price.
Of course if they are in the grades the seller states.
I wonder how low t he seller would go?

I'm enjoying putting mine together. I got a cpl more pages for it. Updated page 5 and the gold page 6. Half the fun is chasing down the coins. I wonder why the guy never cracked out the 4 slabbed coins ?

I don't think that's $3k worth of coins, much less 6.

and with the statement about picking out your own coins. It's much more fun that way~! |

I just noticed a discrepancy with this album and mine is in my safety deposit box which I obviously can't get to on the weekends. The Shield nickel date for without rays seems to be correct at 1866 - 1867 but the Shield nickel without rays is dated 1866 - 1883. I would assume this is a typo but are all the Dansco's that way? |

I think you enjoy it much more if you assembled the set on your own and hand selected each coin.

Oh yes to clarify I am not looking to buy this set I, like others have stated, will much enjoy picking out my own coins and completing my own journey. I was just wondering what an average dates, average grades (EF or XF) of all the coins would be eventually. And like it was also mention it would definitely depend on the timing and market too. $6000 definitely seems like a bit much especially if you are more focused on completing the set over having each coin flawless. Thanks for your answers everyone!

Hard to put a price on something that took a collector time to build their collection, the efforts can't be counted into the price. That's the part one enjoy building their own set, and when you decided to part with it, maybe the hardest to figure a realistic selling price. I mean look at collectors building a low ball slab set, what kind of market price you would pay?

Hello all! Relatively new here,but I agree with everyone else. I just purchased my dansco 7070 album w/ gold page for 28$ at my local coin show.
Figuring I have adhd and want to collect a little bit of everything,the 7070 album is a perfect way to scratch that itch! BUILD ON
