<p>[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 4938866, member: 85675"]The reason I departed from the 7070 was that with so many different types and high $ amounts for the scarcer ones, if you are building a problem free set it is very challenging to complete without cracking TPG slabs in at least a few of the types. I found I was consistently upgrading as time went on and saw the writing on the wall that if I was going to keep that up long term I would end up cracking multiple slabs per slot. Decided to leave that format as I wasn’t interested in doing that (the above half cent is an example of the outcome of that, though I agreed with NGC on the grade.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I plan to do another 7070 someday but I will do it in low grades across the board so that it is well matched, more easily found raw without problems and won’t involve continuous upgrading because the goal will be-well matched low grade material from the get-go. The second reason I stopped was that I didn’t want the MS coins I had in there to deteriorate or get hairlined from the slides, so a low grade set solves that problem as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
