<p>[QUOTE="samjimmy, post: 184344, member: 3813"]Unless you only have a year to live, and your ultimate goal before you die is to finish the 7070, I don't see what the problem is. In other words, either stop eating so much and get off the couch and exercise, or be content with your fatness and don't complain about it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think we all do what you describe. I have an uncomplete 7070 as well, and naturally I'd like to complete it but get distracted by this or that. I've probably spent more in one day last week than it would have taken to find acceptable examples to fill all the spots and finish the dang thing (and create another whole 7070 book, heh). What's left are some of the more expensive ones and/or ones that I need to fill for the sake of filling holes. Maybe that's your problem too? For example I need a 1909 VDS, and quite honestly spending more than $0.50 to get one really irks me, as it's not something I'd even care about if it was not for... "the hole."</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, it's a type coin, but as far as I'm concerned wheat and memorial would have cut it. Plus it doesn't have spots for some of the early types I have such as my 1794 1c Liberty Cap Large Cent. I know, it skips some of the more expensive ones (flowing hair anything), but if you have spots for two of the Seated Liberty Silver Dollars (No Motto1840-65 and Motto 1866-73) then there's no reason not to include one you could pick up for $100-$300.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
