<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1695299, member: 16948&quot;]On Saturday, the room once again filled up pretty quickly</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1331_zps8ce80a9a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1332_zpscbbe881f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lee/19Lyds&nbsp; stopped by my table – he had his eye on a nice 1955/55 Double Die&nbsp; Lincoln PCGS AU55 that I had, which he decided to add to his Lincoln&nbsp; double die collection.&nbsp; As I mentioned to him, the 1955/55 is my&nbsp; favorite Lincoln cent and the king of all double dies – I think everyone&nbsp; should have one, don’t you?!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1330_zpsb454ced8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>More forum members stopped by on Saturday, including Shawn/Kookoox10 who bought a nice little large cent for his collection</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1333_zps63f61475.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And Alex/Funkee who I met for the first time (I believe he said he’s on the paper money forum more)</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1334_zps176c5429.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is Scott Griffin talking to one of his customers – as I mentioned, he works hard to put on a quality show!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1336_zps8167c79e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As&nbsp; the show wound down in the later afternoon, I wondered around and took a&nbsp; few more pictures.&nbsp; This is another dealer buddy, Dennis from Las&nbsp; Vegas, who works with DEI</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1337_zps9667b320.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another fellow dealer, Gene Bruder</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1335_zps57fe7b4b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim of Errors and More coins has some truly amazing errors in his cases.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I saw there wasn’t much public traffic left on the bourse, I opened&nbsp; another bottle of wine and prepared a plate of cheese, salami and&nbsp; crackers that I had brought with me in a cooler, and set up a little&nbsp; party at Logan’s table!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1342_zpsd8c715d9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1341_zps747a2af8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After the show closed, a large group of us went over to Bennigan’s for dinner – it’s a fun Irish Pub type of restaurant/bar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s Glenn Holsonbake/PonyExpress having a very tasty cider beer!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1354_zps5c6ed3e2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1353_zps3dcd2f21.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>While I had my usual favorite – Guinness</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1356_zps30397eeb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The dinner gang!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1358_zpsc5ab5003.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, once again I had planned to go play cards, but…. well…. pillow …. movie… long drive home in the morning…. old age…..</p><p><br /></p><p>Sunday&nbsp; was predictably quiet with not much public in attendance, so I started&nbsp; packing up around noon since I planned to stop by and visit my folks in&nbsp; Oxnard on the way home.&nbsp; This meant I would be taking the coast highway&nbsp; home which takes at least an hour longer – but it is an absolutely&nbsp; gorgeous drive.&nbsp; Also, since I finished the Rod Stewart book, I was&nbsp; anxious to listen to my new James Patterson/Alex Cross book – it’s one&nbsp; of my most favorite book series!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/photo3-1_zpsc237709f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Atascadero is not far from San Luis Opispo and has really pretty countryside with lush green rolling hills</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1373_zps2c52a7cf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1384_zpsa8d02361.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1387_zps0a7b6ebd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Malibu</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2004%20Santa%20Clara/IMG_1394_zps4c54c548.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then finally home!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Next&nbsp; up – the ANA’s National Money Show in New Orleans!!!&nbsp; This time, I’m&nbsp; headed to the show early since my hubby will actually be going with me&nbsp; so we can enjoy some of New Orlean’s great music, food, drinks, and fun&nbsp; sites.&nbsp; But, since he’s not a coin guy, he’ll be headed home when the&nbsp; show starts!!&nbsp; However, I’ll be sure to get photos of us together as&nbsp; evidence that I actually have a husband and that he’s not just a&nbsp; phantom![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
