Not a lot of journals lately on CS

Seems like there have been few journals on the board lately so I will add one, as I so infrequently do.

I guess summer is here, at least according to the thermometer (90 today in SC), even if the calendar says three more weeks of spring. My collecting has slowed down this year as the price tags for the coins i'm looking for are geting pretty high. I added another GSA Morgan dollar to my set early this month I got a mixed bag of results from my last NGC submission - one raw Walking Liberty half variety (1941-S/S) and a raw circulated CC Morgan came in as expected, an ANACS graded Walker (1946 DDO) variety came in one grade lower as expected, but two disappointments. A 1893 Morgan came back in the dreaded purple slab "cleaned" and a PCGS Walker "did not cross" at MS-64 (it's also a FS-501 S/S variety).

I'm looking for affordable examples of the remaining GSA Morgans. I have had bids in on a couple but always get outbid at the last minute. One of these days......
