I like to put together mint sets as part of a larger type set, but I never actually thought I would actually complete an 1839 set with varieties:

Really cool pieces, and interesting to compare and contrast the varieties , especially the cents and gold…
It's all about what the people want...

That’s really nice- congratulations!
Very nice small letters half, details though it is. Considering its rarity I'm surprised it's considered part of this set.
The small letters half is certainly the coin I never expected to get, and in hindsight I think I'm lucky it is details graded. A few months before I got it I tried bidding on a straight-graded sample, but found myself in an unwinnable bidding war.
Nice group of coins!
Great set. I really like 1839 as a date for both US and world coins.
Very nice set. Well done.
An amazing accomplishment. 1839 is one of my favorite dates. A big congrats on the small letter half!
Very nice!
I’ve always loved the coinage of 1836-1839, with so many transitions going on.
Wow! Nice set. I like all the different Halves of the year.
Holy Cow! What a set and you even have the 1839 Small Letters RE half dollar. Dang!

That's impressive and something to be very proud of, congratulations!
