Wanted to thank everyone here, on this day marked for that, for your assistance and support in reaching my goal this year of completing a set of 18th Century 1st year denomination type excluding the 3 gold coins (the eagle, half eagle and quarter eagle) which I don't plan to acquire. 1793 Half Cent, Cohen-2   1793 Chain Cent, Sheldon-1   1792 Half Disme  1796 Draped Bust Dime, John Reich-3   1796 Draped Bust Dime, John Reich-6   1796 Draped Bust quarter, Browning-2   1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar, Overton-101A   1794 Flowing Hair Dollar, Bolender-1, Bowers-Borckardt-1   IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Mind-boggling set! You not only have accomplished a feat in collecting, but you hold in your hands some of the deepest history in American numismatics. That is the stuff dreams are made of.
Congratulations!
