<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2137106, member: 16948&quot;]One of the dealers usually holds a small silent auction and this time there were a few nice coins I had placed bids on.&nbsp; He even had a beautiful 1856 Flying Eagle with some gorgeous pink/yellow toning.&nbsp; I wished I could have bid on that piece but it was beyond my budget, but I found out that Rick was the lucky one who had won this awesome piece.&nbsp; Unfortunately, my photos did not pick up on the very pretty colors.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0654_zpsmx30wism.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0656_zpswwsyhav7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever I go to the PCGS offices to pick up or drop off coins, it’s usually Ophelia who I deal with.&nbsp; I always look forward to seeing her as she is always smiling, happy, and a pleasure to deal with.&nbsp; And the same is true when she works the shows!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0646_zpswau6rzlw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Even though it was a slow day, I had a couple regular customers come by and make some nice purchases so I was glad I stayed all day on Saturday.&nbsp; But soon it was time to pack up and head to the airport.&nbsp; The PCGS table was one aisle over from me against the wall and since they were on the same flight as me, they were packing up about the same time.&nbsp; At one point when I looked over at their table, I noticed an abundance of security guards around their table since it looked like Brinks was taking possession of their coins for shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0651_zpsnjbt3mto.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then it was time to head back to the airport.&nbsp; Right after my bags went through the tunnel screening, the screened who was reviewing the images of the bags said with a wink, “I wish I could confiscate one of these bags that I keep seeing coming from the convention center.”&nbsp; He was saavy enough not to mention what was in the bags and I was just glad he wouldn’t require one of the TSA agents to go through them!</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the things that is really neat about the O’Hare Airport is they have these very colorful lights that go on in waves as you walk through the terminal.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0658_zpslauyqqad.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0659_zpsiyl8pez2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0660_zpsr1pi9xhl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once I got to my gate, I ran into Ian of GreatCollections.com and discovered he would be sitting right behind me on the plane.&nbsp; I told him he better behave himself and not kick me!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0662_zps6pv49pvg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good-bye Chicago….</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0664_zpshamoz9lw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello Orange County!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0668_zpsb8vvpnfd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And hello little mischievous Penny!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0720_zpsb4bfqgge.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/IMG_0737_zpsmnikcioq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I missed my hubby as he had already left to race his buggy in the NORRA Mexican 1000 race, which is similar to the Baja 1000 – it’s a 1300+ mile race from Ensenada to Cabo and he&#039;ll be gone a week.&nbsp; The yellow car is his – note the little Penny Lady bumper sticker on the right front fender!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/2015%2004%20Norra1_zpsxag8v5py.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That’s my hubby in the blue race suit.&nbsp; The white car was his and his partner’s car last year (he sold his share in the white car to his partner and bought a faster car to race this year).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2004%20Central%20States/2015%2004%20Norra_zpsrp8g8ozr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That’s it for now – next up is the Tukwila/Seattle show later this week!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
