<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2101177, member: 16948&quot;]This lovely couple, Natasha and Kyle, are customers of mine and came to the show to specifically buy this gorgeous 1909-S Lincoln cent, and brought me a wonderful bottle of Washington wine for us to share!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2003%20ANA%20Portland/IMG_9782_zpsjs1jxgd3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/5-29-14/Images/8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2003%20ANA%20Portland/IMG_9783_zpsbu6wfzmw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Later on Friday, I was approached by this film crew who said they were doing a film on the history of the penny.&nbsp; Well, I’ve been approached by other coin people to talk about pennies, being a woman in the coin industry, etc., so I assumed it was something along those lines.&nbsp; However, when I asked them where the interview would appear, they said they were hoping it would be aired at the SUNDANCE Film Festival.&nbsp; What?!?!&nbsp; After a few more questions, I discovered they were from New York and weren’t even numismatists but were putting a documentary together on the history of the penny and was hoping their film would eventually appear in theaters.&nbsp; OMG! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Beaming from ear to ear, “of course” I say, “sure, what would you like to know!”&nbsp; Yes, I was very happy to talk about pennies and answer all their questions.&nbsp; So they begin asking me about how I became a dealer of just pennies, how I felt about doing away with the penny, their value, the most popular or rare penny, toned pennies, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2003%20ANA%20Portland/IMG_9785_zpscgx00prs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I showed them my grape 1936 proof, which intrigued them greatly.&nbsp; I also showed them some of my other colorful Indian proofs, and talked about my personal collection of toned pennies.&nbsp; They seemed very excited that I was so enthusiastic about my pennies, and our interview lasted about an hour.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then they came back on Saturday and said they really liked the interview with me and wanted to ask me more questions, and go over some more material!&nbsp; I was really thrilled to help them with their project.&nbsp; Amanda’s booth was right across from mine, and she was kind enough to take this photo of our interview on Saturday.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2003%20ANA%20Portland/Penny%20Crew_zpsfnfd5eea.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In case any of you are interested, their website is <a href="http://dearpennyfilm.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dearpennyfilm.com/" rel="nofollow">http://dearpennyfilm.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After the show ended, a large group of us headed back to downtown Portland for dinner.&nbsp;
