The 7070 is my current focus as well. There is another thread on this site that contains a lot of good information about the set. There are...
Lol! That described me for a while until I settled on the type set which sort of organized my eclectic habit. American Silver Eagles are very...
Gold is my next frontier, after I complete the type set I'm working on. Like you, I enjoy the collection more than the chase. After the type...
Wow! Amazing collection! And my dream coin too, the 1792 half disme. The 1867 trime is amazing as well. Lots of beautiful specimens there....
Watch out for the pop numbers. Sure, there may be on 35 now, but they are all shiny new coins at this point, issued in sets minted with...

Love that coin! Chain cent is on my all time want list for sure!
