Congratulations.

You're quite welcome, sir.

I have bids out on a 1943 Walker in NGC MS67 CAC and a 1943-S Walker in NGC MS66+ CAC.

Kept my fingers crossed on those two; ended up losing both bids...

Very nice, congrats!

You're quite welcome.

As regards our competition over the 1940 mint set, rest not upon your laurels good sir, for you're next...

I may have a surprise or two for you again this year. 

As time and finances permit, I'm planning to upgrade the 1943 and 1943-S steelies to NGC MS68..

If I can find some that I like that would be nice will have to see what I can find out in the wild this year, may have to settle for a few + upgrades.  

The 1943-S NGC MS67* CAC quarter that I purchased arrived in the mail earlier today.

The obverse looks to me like it was struck with a proof die; the surfaces are fully-reflective; not smooth-satiny like a fresh business strike.

Lay on Macduff and damn'd be he who first cries 'Hold, Enough...'

My efforts to maintain and improve the standing of my 1943 mint set have taken another step forward, as I have upgraded my 1943-S steelie from the grade of NGC MS67+ CAC to NGC MS68.

The lead of my 1943 mint set has increased yet again, as I have upgraded my 1943 Mercury dime from NGC MS67+ FB to NGC MS67+ FB CAC, thus netting me an additional 937 registry points.
