Anyone get any new coins for their Registry Sets from last week's coin show/auctions?

I won 1 coin from Heritage, but want to image myself and then post here.
I'd love to see what others got, however, so post what you got in this thread.
Thanks!

Thought it was real nice for the grade.
Picked up an 1892 half dollar in PCGS MS 67 from Heritage auction. That is a two point upgrade to my first coin purchased for the set. It's the Troy Wiseman coin and I don't have it yet, but images are on Heritage's site. I had hoped to pick up the 08-D in PCGS 66, but my representative told me the coin wasn't very nice and the reserve was set very high. That date is the last one I need in gem to have the complete barber half dollar set in gem.
I wound up winning a 1900 PCGS PR64 CAM Morgan Dollar. This is the only coin I won (bid on like 22 lots). It's nice that the auction wasn't a total blank for me.
This is the second coin for my 1900 Proof set w/Gold I'm building for my daughter.
The goal is to assemble coins that have immediate eye appeal.
The above is only the second coin of this set (I have a ways to go.......)
I would have loved to have won the 1900 PCGS PR65 CAM IHC, but this coin sold to a floor bidder for $5k. Apparently the coin was smokin' when viewed in hand. I bid around $3.2K (PCGS price guide is $1,800) and thought I had it locked. Apparently, THIS was the coin of all coins and the price hammered reflects it.
Net-net, I am VERY pleased with the coin I did win. The 1900 Proof coinage, especially the Morgans in CAM are tough!
No winning bids.
