First, let me say "Congratulations!" on reaching this major achievement! You must feel great!
From the examples I have seen, you have assembled an amazing set of coins that any collector would be proud to own. Your attention to detail during your search for the coins and determination to select only those coins that meet your high standards/requirements is quite admirable.
It is also clear to me from your posts that you are a very knowledgeable student of the series and enjoy the story of each coin. I believe this is incredibly important if one is to get the most out of his or her collection. Where's the enjoyment in focusing on and worrying about potential future profits? I'm sure when you look at your collection you remember the hunt for each coin and the great feeling you had when you found the "right" one -- I doubt you spend your time calculating the difference between your purchase price and what you believe you can sell it for currently. Too many collectors seem to miss this element of the hobby, I think it's a shame. I'm glad you're not one of them!
Again, "Congratulations!" -- now sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
PS Absolutely terrific Cincinnati!

... I haven't seen you post one coin that wouldn't be wanted by someone else, and some of them are honestly the finest specimens of a series that I have seen... Brilliant work and congrats
