Great set. Those 7070 sets are always fun to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everybody! I'm really enjoying the album. There are a few "problem" coins in the set, but even they are coins I love looking at. My Flying Eagle cent has a dented rim, but you don't even notice that in its album hole. The presentation made the collection look all the more impressive. Incidentally, I had read others on the forum recommend cutting slivers off the slides to make "shims" for coins that fit loosely. I tried that last weekend, and so far that seems to have helped, particularly with my 1838 large cent, since the hole was cut for the larger size. But there were other coins that kept spinning, and that has stopped (again, so far...).

Amazing set  I'm sure you had a blast filling the holes of such a set! Is that a proof 1860-64 IHC or just proof like? I cannot tell!

ChildOfTheWheat, semi-prooflike maybe? It came in a PCGS MS62 holder (IIRC, I'd have to double check my grid). Here's an old closeup.

Congrats! Now you can start on the lifelong project of slowly upgrading the coins in the album...
