but far from finished

Greetings my fellow collectors;

Today I filled the last open slot I had for my Franklin Proof set. It is now complete, 100%.

I completed this set from all raw coins and submitted to NGC for grading. Although it is complete now, it is far from done as there are numerous slots I am in the process of upgrading. In fact as I type this, I have more raw Franklins I recently purchased on their way to me now. This was my "goal" though for this Franklin set. To do it the "old school" way. Although I have to be honest I was tempted at a few "slabbed" Franklins I saw on line at the auction sites, I kept to my goal of nothing but raw. I do believe I will pause for a brief moment and relax and be proud of this set and what it means to me. But ONLY for a brief moment......

Thank you for sharing this journey with me if you have followed along and am looking forward to not only upgrading some of the Franklins but anticipating what next new adventure awaits in my collecting trip.
