Dansco 7070 Type Set - The Beginning of a new challenge...

Cleaned coins are a Godsend to Typers. It allows you to obtain quality coins at a lower price.

I'm a slab crackout, Type Set Dansco album guy!

Nice job! What's the grade of that 20 cent piece?

 

Not necessarily. Not if your a type set problem free coin guy.

 

@ddddd- Sorry, I haven't read every post. Are you planning on showing us each page of your Dansco?

 

Genuine AU details.

 

I'd post my type set (1793-1964) but there are too many coins.
My full set is 119 coins of which I currently have 115, all slabbed.
At 3 images per coin (obverse, reverse and label), that's 345 images.
Even if I ignored the common 20th century stuff that would still be in the area of 300 images.

 

There was a guy on CT a while back (may still be here) that had some sort of digital 7070 album. It looks like a real album holding real coins, but it's an overlay for pictures of his coins.

Very convenient if you have slabbed type coins you want to display in a 7070 album format. Better than cracking the slabs, plus...you don't have to take your coins out of storage to show off your collection.

I hope to do something similar for my First Spouse collection so I don't put the actual coins at risk.

 

I'm showing each coin as it goes into the album. I have a full page image from earlier on, but those are less effective since it's harder to see the individual coins.

Edit: page 5 of this thread (post #95) had all the pages as of Spring 2019...I might do another post like that soon...so expect the same (lowish) quality of image.

 

@ddddd- Your set has come together really nice! Your efforts are evident. Not a real easy project to complete. I recently completed my set (no gold), after many focused and dedicated years of searching! I finally put that Dansco to bed!

 

Congrats on finishing your set! It certainly is a challenge! The search can be daunting at times, but the thrill of the chase can keep one going.

 

I recall that too (but also can't remember who it was). I know a few have done digital albums with all sorts of sets and it is a great way to display the coins.

In my case, the vast majority of the coins were details slabs (combined with raw coins). So there was no risk cracking the coins out. They look better in the album and it's fun to be able to examine them in the raw state.

 

This guy more then anyone, motivated the heck out of me to stay focused and complete the set! I also made the last custom page the same way he did.

 

Great job @Islander80-83

 

The only book thats not tuff to fill is jefferson nickles

 

I would say a circulated Franklin Half Album is easier to complete.

 

Jeffs are a hidden gem.
I was able to fill mine almost entirely from circulation, including the 50D.
Its tough finding the silver ones, but you can always pick up the set, uncirculated, cheaply.
I added in proofs by buying them as a set.
Jeffs havent changed, and are the last frontier for old style collectors.

 

Jeffersons are easy unless you want full steps. Most of the coins in my Jefferson set are full steps. However, I doubt if I'll be able to come up with enough money to complete a full steps set.

 

Nice thread, folks. I started one years back (Whitman) and am working a second also as the Dansco on eBay was priced right! What might be the difference with the new Dansco album compared to my 2009 item? Thank you.

 

Best of luck and have fun with the album!

I believe the 2009 album is the same as the current one. The last page changed at some point, but I think it was before 2009. That page used to only have the 3 bicentennial coins. At some point (probably early 2000s) they added room for a Silver Eagle, State Quarter, SBA Dollar, Sacagawea Dollar, and Modern Commemorative Dollar.

 

Hi,
Since you just started, I thought it would be nice to see a Dansco 7070 that's been about 7+ years in the making. I have sold some of the coins. Some coins have toned nicely, others nothing? This is what I have currently in the album:










Thanks you.

The Merc and silver 1776 have toned the best. a little bit on the Lincolns.
