Finished this album! When I first started this project, I was 16 years old and hardly could afford anything. To see my progression to where I am now, I am impressed. I was ready to be done with the 7070 project, so I settled for average Seated dollars that I got for good prices. I promised photos when the project was complete, so here they are! I don't plan on further upgrading these coins because I will be going full time bust halves. Maybe an EAC here and there  Hopefully this post will be encouraging to those YNs and new collectors to complete a type set! Most, if not all of these coins were purchased from the profit of flipping coins. Started March 25, 2020 Completed February 25, 2023       Suffering from bust half fever.

Nice Job! I am still missing 3 and can't get passed what they cost, so mine is on hold.

An outstanding job!  I know what it feels like to finish the 7070. I finally completed mine last year after nearly thirty years.  But I have no gold, so...

Nice accomplishment!
You're still in your twenties iirc, so you have a ton of time left to do well in our hobby!
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Thanks everyone! Quote: You're still in your twenties iirc, so you have a ton of time left to do well in our hobby! I am 19 now, and I set up as a dealer for the first time last Saturday. Likely the first show of many. Edit: Last Saturday, not this Saturday

Wow, great set!  I just need the Seated Liberty dollars and Trade dollar and a draped bust large cent to complete mine. Might want to take a peek at your 1880 sliver dollar to see if you have a specialty VAM variety, aka the 80/79 overdates on vamworld.com... Also the 1858 Flying Eagle cent could also have an 8/7 overdate...

Looks really great, nice job, the coins you picked flow well together! It's a big accomplishment to complete one of these and you really learn a lot about all of the different issues putting it together. I did at least.

WOW! I am close to finishing mine as well. My selections are all over the place. I have a gold plate 1883 V nickel, and absolutely UNC with PL fields Morgan (1901 0), a fake 1916 SLQ quarter - most people don't even pause.

Congratulations! You should be VERY proud! A Dansco 7070 is a solid basis for a collection! It's also something that even non-collectors when seeing your set can enjoy, admire, and appreciate!
