    Awesome coin!! Congratulations on a great trade - I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity, even when the quantity was also of quality. I also suspect your new coin will be more liquid than you may be anticipating.

    << <i>At the time to sell, no buyer will be considering the consistency of my set, only the virtues of each coin individually, an perhaps the two Milas coins as a pair. >>



    While I actually love the story, and now, after assembling a set of my only true desire - SLQs - I look back and wonder if I should have bought a few several thousand dollar coins rather than many hundred and several hundred dollar coins. The opportunity just passed on a 23-S in a Heritage auction. The coin went for $5k. I thought "Maybe I should sell 5-8 of my coins to buy this".

    Anyway, since I don't think your set will ever sell as a set, consistency doesn't really matter.

    As long as you're happy now, that's what counts. I often re-evaluate what I have and what I should be doing. This was a bold move and I can appreciate that.

    Very neat set, I actually had an 1842 C $5 small date walk into the store on Thursday. It came in a bunch of pre war gold, some from New Orleans, some Philly, once i saw the C, I was hoping to see a D as well on the last coin, no such luck.. But it was without the cud, so die #1.
