Weekly Widget Acquisitions! (or 6 Morgans and a Franklin)

Went to the Wilmington Coin Show this past Friday and picked up a whole bunch of stuff, and also got some raw eBay purchases/picks in the same day. Here's everything I received, excepting two coins, one of which I am posting right after this, and the other which I might post later.
First up, this nice '81-S Toner I liked. Blue and yellow on the obverse, blue, yellow and red on the reverse.
'84-O, cheap enough and looked decent enough. I did say widgets!
Baggy '82-CC. Part of a lot I bought that included this coin, and the following two coins, and the other unimaged coin, for $450.
'84-CC. A good bit nicer than the prior coin.
'03. The third of four coins from the $450 lot...
'85. Don't really know why I bought this in hindsight, but whatever.
'54-S Franklin. Liked the subtle colors and thought it might be an upgrade over my existing '54-S which has borderline terminal toning. Turns out, I like my other '54-S more than I had thought. Still a nice coin.

Please don't call them widgets. I know you meant it as humor but it does put your coins down. They are better than that.
There are those who call anything that is not a six figure coin a widget, or worse, the D word. Or it may have to be a six figure coin from a certain source. This forum and one coin dealer are the only places I ever hear those words used to describe otherwise great coins. Usually as a means to enhance their own coins and put others down
As to your coins. I like them. I like the 1881-S a lot but if I get to choose one, it is a toss-up between the 1884-O and the 1903-P. My favorite kind of coins.

These are a nice group of "widgets". I wouldn't mind having widgets like these. Unfortunately, I have too many "true" widgets from my early days of collecting.
Also, did you take these pics yourself? If so wow! They look very professional and IMHO as good as and even better than some people that actually charge for pics.
