You have a beautiful collection of PL/DMPL's. I've got about a half dozen or so of each PL and DMPL. Would really like to have a collection like yours someday. Thanks for sharing.
Little 89-S story for you..... I was tickled to get my 89-S, it is hard to find in DMPL, total pop is around 59. In Houston a man came to the table selling coins, I did not buy any but there was an 1880-O 80/79 in ANACS 62DMPL I really wanted. I said I would pay for the crossover to PCGS and then buy the coin. He said fine and submitted it. I had not heard from him but at FUN he was at my table, no news on the 80-O. We chatted and he showed some coins to my table mate. Later my dad find a bank money bag under my table. I open it and in it is a amazing 89-S 61DMPL PCGS secure plus. Not much else in the bag. Then I saw a PCGS submission form in the bag, it was for the guy I met in Houston. I had him paged, called could not find him. Finally when he got home he called me back. I asked if he knew what was missing, and he didnt. I told him he cursed and thanked me. I have not sent the 89-S back to him yet (I will) until I can make him an offer on it. I am pretty sure it came from a 62DMPL holder, was cracked and came back 61. Looks better than my 63DMPL. If the 80-O crosses I will have to send him my savings account to pay for both coins.
The 1889 is really sharp and looks under graded to me but what do I know about Morgans? Set is improving and improving... By the way, I'll see you in Baltimore right?
Purchases are getting are tougher to fill holes in the set. I have added a few more in the past few months. In the main set I also took out some of the sold coins but still have plenty of duplicates. 1884-CC from Wei Chang
