    I'll be on the hunt for some buffalo nicks. Might even post a trip report. Huge free parking lot at the Mason's lodge. This show used to be the Pasadena Coin Show which was held at the Scottish Rite's Center in Pasadena, but they've moved it (but just a few miles).

    That's a long way for me . . . if I start walking now I might make the 2021 show.

    Nice compact show as usual. But plenty of coins (U.S. and non-U.S., ancients) and paper.

    Crystal clear skies and 70-degree temps didn't deter me from getting my coin fix today.

    Breakfast option near the show. I opted for Rod's Grill, a local diner 1 block to the west of the Windmill Denny's...

    Helpful signs as you near the venue...

    Security dude...

    Inside views. Maybe 10-15 dealers. Several coin dealers, several paper dealers, 1 ancient dealer. Other stuff too...

    Leaving after a couple of hours of geeking on coins...

    And if you work up an appetite for lunch, you go a few miles west to Pasadena for some In-n-Out Burgers. This is the oldest In-n-Out in the world that is still in operation (I think it was one of the first few ever built, but all of the earlier ones are gone now)...

    Oh, and my modest purchases. A few Buffalo Nicks and a Columbian Expo half! Yay!
