@TypeCoin Ironically, the last two are the: Liberty Head Half Cent and one of the Seated Liberty dollars. Years ago I thought the two Seated dollars would be the last ones. I remember at one time telling myself if I completed the album, except for the two dollars, I would call it good and move on. |

When you fill those last two holes I have a well used 7070 just sitting here I will not be filling that you can get to start a second one.

@Gyrene When I first read your post I wanted to jump at your offer! However, I think I might get back to completing my nickel series (1866-Date PDS). Or I was thinking of dabbling in Mercury dimes for a bit. |

Nice, one of the three I need, the other two being the two Seated dollars. |

Nice! I am also missing this hole. Sadly, I still have several holes in my 7070.  |

Nice coin! That's one of the harder slots to fill with a nice example like yours.

Oh, do I know what you guys mean about those Seated dollars. It wasn't until just last month (after many years) that I came across, what I feel was a good deal. I was able to talk him down to $175 for this 1859-O. (G-4 Retails for $270+\-) It was a matter of seconds that I put my cash in his hands before he thought twice!   |
