Started off with a good one

For the past dozen years or so, my collecting focus has been first completing and then upgrading my Walking Liberty half set, with Franklin half sets and a few Mint sets to keep things interesting. I pretty much ran out of Walker upgrades within my budget so I recently started working on Morgan dollars.

105 (!!!) slots to fill! Some of them easy,some difficult, some I'm sure will prove to be impossible (again, within budget). However, i'm trying to be very particular about what I buy. One decision, influenced by the journals of Mr. Bo Jingles, is to try to find the CC dates in the original GSA holders.

My first entry in that subset (photo below) is not one of the "easy" ones, but I found a very nice coin at a very good price. This is an 1881-CC in the GSA holder, with the original box and certificate, and graded MS-65+ by NGC. I have to work on better photos but the coin looks fantastic.
