First PCGS/CAC Coin Purchased

Just received in mail my first CAC approved coin, a Morgan XF45 1890 CC. Thought I'd share. Most of my Morgan collection was purchased 15-20 years ago when there were no CAC coins. Only bot 3 Morgans in last few years, focusing on my WLH collection.
Anyway, it was an upgrade to my collection, an NGC VF35 that was OK for the grade, but really didn't fit in my overall collection and bugged me looking at it.
Been looking for several months, thought about a low MS but they were very beaten up or appeared dipped, and >$1,000. Nice AU's were ~ $700. So when I saw this coin finally knew it was the one for what I was looking to spend. Actually didn't pay much of a premium for the CAC, maybe 10% over other XF45s for sale but this was nicer by far.
Comments welcomed. I think it has a perfect circulated XF look and fits nice in my collection.

It looks really nice. I'm guessing you edited the cert number on the coin and it ins't damaged?

Thanks, Yes, tried to hide the cert # from counterfeiters.
Congrats, that look like a very nice addition.

Looks very original. You can’t go wrong with a CC…

Very solid for the grade and great original look. Enjoy, surely the first of more than one bean for you eventually.
Very nice wholesome coin! Can you please spell it “bought” though? Those 3 characters can’t be saving that much time.
Can hardly go wrong with PCGS/CAC combo.
Great coin.

Congrats!!!

Quintessential eye appealing XF45 example!
Looks like a very original surface quality. If this one matches your collection then you've got some nice looking coins. I like it!
Very beautiful 1890-CC! I hope it gives you a lifetime of satisfaction. XF45 is the sweet spot for me.

id be very happy with thar one as well, nice score
Lol, Not so much saving time vs career spilling over to language. 40 years working for Wall Street firms, and counting, and most systems' screens & reports that I've seen label trading input/output as BOT/SLD or SOLD. For them saves a lot of space. Never thought about it while writing, just been a habit of mine that is probably in various other posts of mine.
