Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 6:17 pm I've yet to complete the 7070 type set, but have decided to go with an Eagle binder and 20 or 30 pocket pages for my type set, as I have done with my Mercury dimes. Aside from the very earliest coppers ... which would probably take an act of God for me to acquire some of those... I can envision the large cents being further split where the matron heads are concerned, having a place for Robert Scot's frumpy Miss Liberty, the modified matron (coronet), the issues of 1839, ugly as they are, and 2 braided hair types, the Petite Head of 1840, and the L later "normal" sized Braided Hair LC. That's a lot of additions right there....without going farther back in history to include the earliest coppers. I'm going to add a 3rd Standing Liberty quarter, the recessed date type 1925-30. That makes it necessary that the type 2 be an early one, but my 1920-S already fits that bill, What issues would you add? Chance Report this Post to the Staff

hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 7:14 pm I vote nothing. It is already going to be hopelessly out of reach for me to complete mine anytime this century. So I wouldn't want to make it more difficult than it is. I guess my only gripe is split the clad Kennedy half into 2 holes; one for silver clad and one for CuNi clad. Right now it just has a single hole labelled Clad 1965-date. And I'm using the newest edition. Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 7:35 pm I just remembered there's a type 1 and type 2 silver 3 cent piece... In Kennedy half dollars ... if you wanted to include NIFCs, you'd need silver clad and cupro clad Bicentennials too. Chance Report this Post to the Staff

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 8:09 pm I was thinking that my post regarding the Seated dimes ... should have said type 5 rather than type 4, but I was thinking of the 7070 when I posted that. I'll take a look at your expanded 7070 a bit later. Thanks. I'm taking what I can out of the Dansco, and putting some stuff (that's not in the album) that I'll need to get rid of into holders... then I'll have to list the stuff. I enjoy it though, so it won't seem like distasteful work at least. The reward is getting a really nice 10 dollar Indian ... so it will be worth the effort. I offered MS60 money for it, and its at least a 63. I just need to rearrange some assets. It might be time to take my licks on the 1880 Shield nickel. It would never slab via PCGS because they only recognize one die pairing for business strikes... so I'll take a butt whoopin' on it, but it will be easier to swallow if the Indian is of high enough grade, and I really think it is.

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 8:16 pm The 1837 Half Dime and dime are probably my favorites of the small seateds. The design looks great w/o the stars or legends ... and before Miss Liberty started taking steroids. Chance Report this Post to the Staff

Nor does it include the State Quarters clad and 90%, ATB Quarters clad and 90%, NA dollars, or President dollars. That's another 244 coins. So a full type set is about 350 coins right now.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 12:52 am I do like the idea of adding the assorted subtypes of Matron Head (including, yes, the Silly Head and Booby Head). And the Petite Head of 1839-43 is my favorite US Large Cent subtype. Definitely add the 1853 quarter and half (with rays). I'm not quite sure why they aren't in the 7070 already; it is a very obvious type. Same for the No Stars series (not sure which denominations have them). The 40% Kennedy is an obvious addition; so is the silver Ike (either of them, really). The modern coinage is way out of date; certainly you should include the new Jefferson nickel (post-2004) and the shield cent, as they are new definitive types, but the remaining modern issues are trickier (and including all the rolling commemoratives separately would make them occupy most of the set). Oh, and if you're making your own set anyway, remove the 1909 VDB - that one shouldn't be its own variety. (And, arguably, the ASE might not really belong in a type set either.)

Omegaraptor Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 10:55 am I like the no stars Half Dime and dime. Don't forget that 1838-O coins were also struck with no stars, the first year of the New Orleans mint. Also, the 7070 should be completable by the average person, which likely rules out some coins like the draped bust small eagle half, the draped bust small eagle quarter, and other very expensive early coins.

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5850 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 11:15 am I decided to digitize my entire 7070 album and, in the process, added numerous issues that weren't in the original album: http://barrygoldberg.net/7070_intro.htm There are, I'm sure, a lot more variations I could add, but it will always be a work in progress.
