.... but it was great speaking with you Glenn!

Ok, so I just penned (does anybody actually "Pen" anything anymore?) a journal letting everybody know my journey was finally over on my quest to complete my Morgan GSA Holder set. I elaborated on how I finished the set quite by chance and had no real intentions of adding the final three coins I needed in one year (five years would have been a stretch) but opportunity called in the person of fellow collector Glenn Smick who was parting with his stellar registry set and so it came to be my set was finished and I was happy as a lark forever and ever....Until this morning.

I noticed Glenn had this beautiful 1883 up for sale on ebay and I just couldn't take my eyes off of it! There are very few DPL exemplars of an 1883 in GSA Holders out there. I believe the NGC population has it at 73 with 6 DPL examples graded higher.

My wife and I talked this through and after running some numbers decided we needed it to be in our set (did I mention Mrs. Jingles is a keeper?).

I may have just started my second set... did I just say that?

Glenn, next Sunday let's just talk about the weather!
