Lot Title:	Complete Dansco 7070 type set
Lot Number:	836
Description:	Parallel Alpha Collection. Collector appeal: A- for completeness and attractive quality. The Dansco 7070 has endured as one of the most popular album collections, so popular that some collectors even put together certified sets based on the specified slots of an album. Each of this consignor's coins is non-certified, and in aggregate, they form an utterly delightful visual treat for bidders. Far too many highlights are therein, so some general commentary must suffice. The 1805 Draped Bust cent has bold VF details but some microporosity, but is followed by an attractive 1812 Classic head (VG). A grade of AU-58 befits the 1859 cent, and an 1862 should easily grade MS-62 or so. An 1868 nickel should grade AU, joined by an UNC 1905. Turning the page finds an 1831 half (XF) and an 1837 half with XF details but a dig at the upper obverse. Seated and Barber pieces grade VF to XF. The very difficult seated dollar types include 1860-O (VF), 1868 (XF), and 1877-S Trade (XF). Much to enjoy in this highly appealing type set!

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
