Which commemorative halves did you choose for your 7070?

So far I have a Proof 1982 Washington half and a BU 1925 Stone Mountain half. :thumb:

The Stone Mountain is a great design and a good choice, I think. I have a 7070 that is pretty barren and have not contributed to it in years as I pursue certain series but I think you've made good choices.
So, is USC Southern Cal or South Carolina? Or somewhere else?

 

South Carolina.

 

1892 Columbian in my 7070.

 

When I was doing my 7070 set I had the 1892 Columbian Half, then the 1992 Columbian Half (thought it was cool to have the 400th anniversary and the 500th anniversary together). I also used the 1918 Illinois half and an Oregon Half because those are really great designs.

 

What state you from?
I thin the Texas one is a great design and like the Conn alot too.

 

I have an 1892 Columbian half in right now, and am planning on acquiring Lexington-Concord, Stone Mountain, and Long Island Tercentenary halves.

 

A Columbian and a 1982 Washington so far, I haven't decided what to round it out with.

 

SC, but the 1936 SC coin (profiling Columbia, SC) is a little boring. I love the Western US so I think I'll start looking for a nice Oregon Trail half.

 

I have intentionally built my 7070 to be within the grades of VF to AU with original, crusty coins. This makes finding the classic commems rather tough, but I have included the Columbian, Maine (my wife and I go to Maine quite a bit), Connecticut (my favorite commem) and Oregon.

 

I like the Texas for the old commemorative. It's one of my favorite designs and you can buy them pretty inexpensively.

 

I guess that's why you didn't respond to my comment about the smog affecting your judgement in another thread.

My faux pas!

I was wondering what that was about.

 

I agree. That's a real nice looker you got there Phubanks....:smile

 

Almost looks Ultra High Relief! :kewl:

 

whats a 7070?

 

a 7070 is a type coin albun

These coins arent mine ... someone else posted this on this board a while back ...

 

It's the number between 7069 and 7071 or a double-dipping federal retiree.

You should have put the 1893 Columbian Half in there as well

As for me, any one with a hole in it (at the 12 o'clock) position I can find I'll put in

 

I love the Texas design too, but I looked at mine yesterday and it seems to be spotting on the back
