How did you do in 2015 on completing the set(s) you are working on?

Im shy on a Dansco type set got 2/3s of though
I filled a lot of holes on that set this year
Debating on what to do w/Frankies I started it when I 1st started collecting and it sat as I moved on to other series.
I only added 2 coins in 2015
Been thinking about ancients could someone recommend a good book on the subject. I know vertually nothing about them.
Thanks
Happy New Year
Tony

Beautiful!

 

what is a 7070?

 

A type set

 

still don't get it...what does 7070 mean or imply?

 

we are all winners here. the victory is in the attempt!

 

Holy Moses, Winged your killing me with these gorgeous pieces. I have been working on my Lincoln set for the last 4 years and I am no were near complete on my set lol that's not even dealing with the coins above my price range. I did find a XF40 (Details) 24-D for $25. Gorgeous set my friend.

 

7070 refers to the album identification number for the Dansco major type set. Every Dansco has a number on it indicating what the album is, on the "binded" side.

 

Thanks, I kept Googling and Dansco was coming up. Thought it had to do with the coins face value...but that didn't work...thanks again.

 

I added a couple of high grade designated cameo Mercury Dimes and moderately frosty 1942 quarter to my 1936-1942 proof sets. From my cameo type set, I am missing only the nickels.

 

Added these 2 to my trade dollar set Also did a few additions and upgrades to my type set. But also started selling coins too so I ended up selling many coins that I wished to eventually upgrade. So in the future I will likely buy a great deal of coins but very few for myself except a few exceptional examples such as these

 

That 1874 is hideous. I think you should sell it to me with a discount...lmao.

 

You think I need to get something like a pr 66 cam? Guess a 64 cam not good enough.

 

Well yeah. I know a 64 CAM is good enough for me, but I don't roll in your territory....Happy New Year Bill!

 

Yeah me too. A 66 cam in a type 1 proof is out of my league financially too especially as pcgs has a pop of 1 none higher

 

That's quite a milestone, that took three generation of my family to complete the same goal. The quarters are really the killers. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/20th-century-finally-complete.217478/

 

Ok.... you win again.

 

You could probably complete it in a reasonably high grade for $7070, but that has nothing to do with it.

 

It will be quite a milestone and I'll probably be near death and thus a real "bucket list" item. I may hit the bucket when I purchase the 1901-S quarter. I'm still missing several Barber and Standing Liberty quarters and seven Barber half dollars. 31 of the remaining 40 coins are in those three series.
