Using PCGS / NGC as a personal grading guide

I have always liked raw coins, and have cracked many a slab to complete my Morgan sets. But lately Ive buying up a few PCGS / NGC Morgan slabs in 62-65 with the intent of have them as a "in hand Reference" to compare to my raw collection / upgrade descisions. as you know many common date Morgans in these slabs are easily obtained for $25-$40. Just thought this could help some newer collectors investing a modest amount of cash and having some in hand examples to help your grading skills
So I had a fun weekend....lunched with two local dealers and hit a 40 table local show. Had no problem selling off common date xf-au sliders for a a fair price for both parties, to fund a few newp to get the Library going...
1921 PCGS MS63 $20
1900-O PCGS MS63 $35
2/State Qtrs NGC69
Kennedy NGC 69 $15 ea
and I finally grabbed what is for me my best Morgan CC
1884-CC PCGS MS64 ( which IMO is as close to PL as you can get,,,and not get it labled as such) still nice coin $220
So all in all I think I did well, and jumpstarted the "Slab Library",,,,
wish I could image this CC and see what ya all think, but I dont think a scanner would do it
