I Filled A Big Hole In My 7070 Today

A whole basket of congratulations. Your patience was well rewarded.

She's a beauty! Old-school gray toning.

What a great purchase CoinCollector! You deserve an entire fruit basket!

Great looking Trade dollar for your typeset.

Thanks so much for the compliments everyone! I am not going to reveal the grade yet because I am going to put it in the grading forum.

Congratulations - those early dollars are tough and that's a real nice looking example.

Very nice!

This is one of the last three holes in my 7070.

Since I already revealed the grade in the other thread, this is how the coin graded...






I plan to enjoy it for a few more days before it goes into the safety deposit box.

When I want a coin that is in a holder, especially NGC and PCGS, and even more especially if I consider it a valuable coin - I'll take a photo of the coin, print it on glossy paper, insert that into the album, and leave the coin in the holder in a 9 pocket page.

I love the 9 pocket pages as I consider them a great way to display my slabs in my own custom album.

If you use those pages, I suggest you put a blank flat plastic page (like a copy page holder) in between the 9 pockets, so you never see any rub from one page to another.
