<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2101179, member: 16948&quot;]Just before I was about to pack up, an elderly gentleman stopped by my table and offered me his Lincoln cent collection that he had put together over many years housed in the usual small blue coin folders.&nbsp; I often get offered collections like this and they are usually low grade coins pulled mostly out of pocket change often containing cleaned and damaged pennies.&nbsp; However, when I opened these albums, I was quite pleasantly surprised to see that this album contained mostly XF/AU untampered original problem-free pretty pennies!&nbsp; So of course, I couldn’t pass it up.</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_9875_zpsosj0hlxs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></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_9876_zpsztkb0l43.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></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_9877_zpship0v1v0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon it was time for me to head to the Portland airport for my flight home.&nbsp; This beautiful wood carving is located right inside the terminal.</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_9838_zpsqsoe5gqp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></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_9839_zpsidzaurbw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></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_9840_zpsk9hsivli.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Outside it was an absolutely gorgeous day – a great day for flying!!!</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_9842_zpsivrixmk4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bye-bye beautiful Portland….</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_9849_zpsn9et3mdc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></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_9851_zps7n8wvngw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></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_9853_zps0oz0qrun.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Me so happy to be going home!!</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_9845_zpswvlono5h.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you look closely, you can see a famous landmark!!!</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_9862_zps2jr1avmj.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(That’s Half Dome in Yosemite)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And welcome back to Orange County – it’s rare for me to be flying home when it’s still light out!</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_9866_zpsc8zvxg24.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are the two blimp hangars at the former U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air station in Tustin, California.
