The Collaborative "Virtual 7070" Type Set Project

Hi. Per a suggestion by user "creg" on Collectors Universe, I'm starting another group participation thread over there (so why not here as well?)

He wanted to create a "virtual collection" where we'd all work on the same set together- virtually. I suggested the ever-popular Dansco 7070 Type set.

Here's how it works. Each day will be devoted to a slot in the album (one particular type, in other words), and we'll do them in order. So on the first day we'll all post pictures of our Draped Bust half cents, on the second day we'll all post our Classic Head half cents, then we'll do Braided Hair half cents on the third day, and then on to the Draped Bust Large cent, and so on. Get the idea?

There are 83 types to complete the album.

Each day we can award unofficial bragging rights to the person who posts the nicest coin, and also to the person who posts the nastiest coin. Anything from junk to Gems is OK, as long as it is of the correct type and has a readable date.

Ready? Let's go!

 

I'll start with our first type slot in the album: the Draped Bust half cent (1800-1808).

Here's mine. Post yours! Then we'll all do the Classic Head half cent tomorrow.

 

PS- everybody try to post both sides of your coin, if you can.

You never know- at the end, someone might get ambitious and want to create a virtual album of all the best coins shared, or something.

(That person won't be me, though.)
