I had a very good day with several of my regular customers stopping by and picking out some nice pieces. SeattleSlammer came by again and we had more time to chat and talk about pretty copper (my favorite subject!). After a while, I felt comfortable deeming him a “self-serve” customer and let him sort of pick through my case on his own when I needed to help other customers. Seattle picked out several of my more eye-appealing coins to examine – he definitely has a good eye for pretty copper!</p><p> </p><p>Airplanenut also stopped by for a chat – between his job and hobbies, he seems like a very busy guy!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01828.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Soon, it was time to start the packing up process.

Dennis’ flight ended up being at the same gate as my flight but an hour later so it was nice to have someone to hang out with until it was time to board.</p><p> </p><p>Now I’m back home, catching up on all the paperwork that goes along with being a coin dealer. Since I won’t be going to Central States this year, I have a few weeks off to also catch up with my family and friends, as well as catch up on projects that are waiting for me here at home!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>My next show will be the Denver ANA – hope to see some of you there!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Here is Jasmine, a cute young YN, talking to Jeff Shevlin in the hospitality room. [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01791.jpg[/IMG] This trio looked like they were having too much fun at the show! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01793.jpg[/IMG] I think that this show is particularly a good place to find quality raw coins. Here are my newps! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01795.jpg[/IMG] Though I also found this beautiful 1914-D in a very difficult grade [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01818.jpg[/IMG] More forum members who stopped by my table: Cazkaboom, a CoinTalk forum member [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01794.jpg[/IMG] Bochiman [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01796.jpg[/IMG] Bochiman’s son Ronnie and his friend Ryan [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01797.jpg[/IMG] Bochiman and Lakesammman [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01798.jpg[/IMG] Me! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01801.jpg[/IMG] Here are some of the neat exhibits on display in a room across from the show. [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01806.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01804.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01805.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01807.jpg[/IMG] And here are some of the other dealers who set up at this show Art McBride – a really wonderful guy, honest, fair and nice! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01812.jpg[/IMG] Jerry Bobbe – an early copper enthusiast and expert and fellow Conder token lover [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01813.jpg[/IMG] Lisa and Scott Loos, our dedicated, hard-working show promoters [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01831.jpg[/IMG] I found these interesting items on display in one of the dealer’s case. [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01810.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01809.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120414-01811.jpg[/IMG] After the show on Saturday, we went to a great Benihana’s-type restaurant where everyone is seated around a hibachi and the chef entertains us with fancy juggling of flaming cooking utensils, slicing and tossing food, making an onion volcano, etc., all while he cooks our food. It’s a lot of fun and the food is amazing! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Tahoma-MapleValley-20120414-01819.jpg[/IMG] I took this photo outside the restaurant as the sun was going down. It was another beautiful night in Seattle! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Tahoma-MapleValley-20120414-01821.jpg[/IMG] So after dinner, Paul drove us around the back roads near where he lives not far from the Green River (yes, THAT Green River). It is a really beautiful area with some gorgeous homes. [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/EnumclawPlateau-20120414-01823.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/EnumclawPlateau-20120414-01822.jpg[/IMG] That’s the Green River behind me [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/EnumclawPlateau-20120414-01824.jpg[/IMG] And this is a very cute tiny list shrew that we saw along the shore [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/EnumclawPlateau-20120414-01825.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/EnumclawPlateau-20120414-01827.jpg[/IMG] Sunday: Sunday started out much slower with collectors sort of trickling in, but soon the room was buzzing again with lots of people. I had a very good day with several of my regular customers stopping by and picking out some nice pieces. SeattleSlammer came by again and we had more time to chat and talk about pretty copper (my favorite subject!). After a while, I felt comfortable deeming him a “self-serve” customer and let him sort of pick through my case on his own when I needed to help other customers. Seattle picked out several of my more eye-appealing coins to examine – he definitely has a good eye for pretty copper! Airplanenut also stopped by for a chat – between his job and hobbies, he seems like a very busy guy! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01828.jpg[/IMG] Soon, it was time to start the packing up process. I finished early before my brother was to take me to the airport, so I brought my iPod over to Glenn and Dennis’ table to “supervise” their packing up! [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01830.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01840.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01841.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01844.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Seattle-20120415-01843.jpg[/IMG] Since Dennis was leaving on the same airline as me, my brother took us both to the airport. Dennis’ flight ended up being at the same gate as my flight but an hour later so it was nice to have someone to hang out with until it was time to board. Now I’m back home, catching up on all the paperwork that goes along with being a coin dealer. Since I won’t be going to Central States this year, I have a few weeks off to also catch up with my family and friends, as well as catch up on projects that are waiting for me here at home! My next show will be the Denver ANA – hope to see some of you there!!![/QUOTE]
