Sir Ferrari Pillar of the Community United States 671 Posts	Posted 08/03/2008 8:37 pm I was looking through a complete 7070 online here ( http://mysite.verizon.net/w2up3/dan...type_set.htm ), and I noticed that there was a hole for a modern commemorative, but not one for a classic commemorative. Is this an intentional or accidental omission? Report this Post to the Staff

Those slots are located between the half dollars and dollars. There was only one classic commemorative silver dollar issued, Lafayette. Report this Post to the Staff

Thank goodness that it's not included in the 7070 as it retails for about $1000. That would be a tough hole to fill. Report this Post to the Staff
rohumpy Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 08/04/2008 05:08 am I am not sure I understand the rationale for the slots for the commemorative halves in a type set. If you are going to include a slot for one,then why not for all? I am not aware of any description of a type set which includes commemorative coins. Sounds like the designers of the 7070 needed a few more slots and came up with this idea. Report this Post to the Staff

Probably for the same reason it doesn't include flowing hair varieties as well as all the varieties in general. It will exclude issues that are hard to come by or have a large price tag on. Most commemoratives are inexpensive but when you include the only early commemorative dollar and quarter dollar, they cease to be inexpensive and the the number of albums produced exceed the number of coins minted/distributed.

If you are going to include a slot for one,then why not for all? It does not include all because they offer other albums for commemoratives. Including all of them would make for a very large type set album! Quote: I am not aware of any description of a type set which includes commemorative coins.

I wonder if they got feedback from people that wanted to have spots for some commemoratives. I think the truth may be that they wanted to fill out the page so they took the suggestions of a few collectors.
