OP. ...
Do what you like and what works best for you. It's your money, your time and for your enjoyment.
I personally prefer coins that are unslabbed. Ain't nothing like holding them in your hand (carefully of course!) and enjoying them the way it was intended!

@GR58,
The Intercept have the extra holes for type 2 and earlier Indian head? That would be a great pleasure to see it complete! I hope to see that one day.

I hope to see that one day I have to find it, I have that extra page still packed from my move last year. I think your right about it have holes for the type one, type two and type three gold dollars. I think it also has a hole for a three dollar gold. Making it 12 coins total. |

Dansco makes a separate add-on gold coin page for the 7070 album you can buy and add to the album. Yeah I know that, I have a couple 7070's with gold pages. I just haven't seen any gold pages for sale lately. I know you can find the page on ebay but you'll pay through the nose. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

I have seen you do this on other threads, you seem to not like
other members opinions. Only when people are giving bad advice. I will never apologize for trying to help people be smart with significant investments with their money. Quote:
Of the ones that were sent
off to be authenticated one maybe two came back fake. And just think how many you didn't send off were fakes, after all the shop was fooled by ones they thought were submission worthy |

52Raymo - Sorry, misunderstood your question... I'm in the same boat with Franklins... Have most of them and no album, unless you want to pay $100 for one on ebay... |

I'd buy slabbed and then crack them out. Probably won't cost you too much more than raw, and you won't be questioning whether it's fake.

 And the gold page is a nice project to tackle.  |

Gold? An ambitious endeavor for sure. That's way beyond my reach. This is how I feel. It was never on my radar. I had my 7070 over twelve years before I even knew a gold page existed. If I ever had the means to do a gold type set, I will probably forgo the gold page and assemble it in slabs. This is, of course, a big if. I do not see it happening. With that being said, good luck to anyone who attempts it and a huge congratulations to those who have already succeeded. |

I have a complete gold page thanks to GR58 for sending me the missing $1, the others I had bought mostly raw over 30 years ago. I would like to up grade the $5 and $2.5 liberty heads.

For gold coins I have done both a: (1) slabbed Mint State registry set and (2) 7070 gold page raw set. For the 7070 gold page raw set I sought out AU coins, which removed some of the stress. One of my 7070 album gold coins ($2.5 Lib) was a crack out. My advice would be to: (1) start with a slabbed set (admittedly not economically feasible to all) so you learn what authentic coins look like; (2) buy a scale and a Counterfeit Detection book so you can help protect yourself from fakes; (3) only buy from trusted sources; or (4) buy slabbed gold and crack out for your 7070 gold album page. Edit: For valuable coins (gold substantially above melt), I would stick with slabbed coins. That means rare dates, $3 and $1 Type II, and any pre-liberty head series. Edited by usc96
