<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1723176, member: 22585&quot;]Nice bhaugh! You have made a great decision in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I started collecting, it was all about quantity. </p><p>Dozens of Dansco&#039;s were bought, filling up as many as I could.</p><p>Then I bought the 7070. This changed everything. </p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from one Jefferson album, this is the only album I want to keep and fill (with toners were possible of course).</p><p>At one point it was 10 shy of being completed. However, I took a closer look at the coins within and felt I needed to re-evaluate the contents. Although valuable, some were low grade and the details very difficult to see.</p><p>I love showing it off to family and friends who have never seen older coins. </p><p>&nbsp;What I really love about the 7070 is it is a walk through the history of <i>most </i>U.S. coinage. </p><p>So for me, I want them to to be able to see an old coin that has great detail and shows off the beautiful design.</p><p>I understand that, a non coin collector (aka &quot;Normie&quot;) wouldn&#039;t appreciate an old &quot;good&quot; condition large cent when it looks close to a brown blank planchet. Even if it is a problem free, rare key date or something valuable.</p><p>Not to mention, due to an album being an album, there is risk to damaging the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have any advice except to fill it the way you like. However, I will pose this question to you: </p><p>Why are you putting together a 7070? </p><p>Investment? </p><p>To share with others? To make a heavy paperweight?</p><p>etc..</p><p><br /></p><p>Collect what you like. Sometimes a coin just calls out to you and you know it must be in the type set.</p><p>I am looking forward to seeing it come together for you! </p><p><br /></p><p>Too bad you can only put two Ikes in there...lol</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to share one example of my 7070 mind frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would much rather have this uncirculated quarter that cost me around $50 than a valuable semi or key date (pictured below) that is just a shell of it&#039;s former glory.</p><p>You, everyone reading this, and I all know mine is damaged by graffiti, but non-collectors see this coin and just say &quot;wow!&quot;. They don&#039;t even see the damage. This is the reaction I love to get. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cdn7.sharemyco.in/shared_342473c354df3121c98ddd401ed4d6d43651b3a27068e02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cdn10.sharemyco.in/shared_3a74de22267f4483f5ec35f741b58d75c1051b3a280e146b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
