Congratulations! I admire your sticking to a plan. I also admire the way you put those uncirculated coins into a carboard folder. Most people would emtomb them in plastic and then start cracking them out for upgrades. Nice of you to actually collect them. Very refreshing to meet a true aficionado.

Pardon my having to ask, but I do not collect US: Is it called a "7070" set because of the product number of the folder?

 

That is one of the nicest type sets I've seen.

 

Awesome type set collection! Filling the 7070 is quite an accomplishment, even in the lower circulated grades, but it appears that your coins are high grade, most in B/U condition, many with very attractive toning.

:thumb:WELL DONE MY FRIEND!!!!:thumb:

 

thanks for sharing, and congrats!!!!!!!!!

 

Well done, looks great.

 

Very nice Set, congrats, i must say that the GA state quarter should be replaced

DE

 

What an accomplishment! I've been working on one for five years now, and am still a few coins short.

 

That sir, is impressive. I am especially taken by the overall high grade of the set. I started my high grade 7070 last year and have miles to go before it is filled.

 

Congratulation on a great set and sticking to a plan! It looks great !!!

 

Oops duplicate post not showing.

 

Congrats - what is going on with the state quarter? Looks like one of those painted quarters.

 

Agreed......that is the one coin that cheapens the collection for me. I just don't like those things. However, what a great collection other than that one coin!!!!!

 

lol, thanks all! I actually updated that quarter months ago with a Minnesota silver proof, but have'nt rephotographed that page in forever.

 

Beautiful set! I want to start a type set like that but I'd never have all of them in anywhere close to those grades. Congrats!

 

i love it! thanks for posting ... i never get tired looking at type collections

 

My goal was AU or better mostly, but I dipped down into XF territory for the early copper and Seated Dollars and several other of the early tougher coins. So it's basically an XF minimum set.

 

Very nice set. I got about 1/3 done with my AU/MS 7070 set before I chickened out and decided to quit cracking out coins and kept them all in slabs

 

Thanks illini! I remember reading your thread on the CU forum a long time ago. I didn't quite head your warning now did I.... My set isn't as high end as yours was though. I may take a hit on some of the coins if I resold them, but that's ok for now.
