They are not that bad. But then again, compared to the earlier dollars required for the 7070, nothing is. Good luck!

Since it will be on the back burner you can take your time and find the best grade that your budget will allow to slowly fill the holes. Maybe like one every few months. Just take your time and don't just settle for cheapest just to fill a hole. That way you're not constantly upgrading it. At least that is how I would do it. 100%, very wise advice!

Marc Ingram Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 09/01/2025 08:41 am I always thought a complete 7070 (no gold) was out of reach for me. This guys video inspired me to start one and complete it several years ago. I did a virtual set on paper first. To my surprise, I already had over 75% of the coins in my collection.

I think what I will do is since I have a Dansco coin stock album, add some coins to it that I don't feel like collecting entire sets of. This makes more sense to me and adding all coins to it that I don't have spots for anywhere else. For example, I'd like to get my hands on some various different half dollars, but they are a bit out of reach for me in terms of collecting the entire set. I could add a few specimens of each to this 2X2 album and call it a day. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94614 Posts	Posted 09/15/2025 09:56 am Well, a complete 7070 set is not for everyone, but making a custom Dansco album of just random coins you have is a good idea as well.

I had that problem with the Seated dollars. It took me a long time but I got there. Report this Post to the Staff
