<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 972868, member: 16948&quot;]Another few photos - these were taken by Jerry/Yellowkid and are MUCH better than mine!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is Bill, Rick, me and Jerry</p><p><img src="http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss120/yellowkid1/anashow007.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mark, Jerry, me and Todd</p><p><img src="http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss120/yellowkid1/anashow004.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jerry and me!</p><p><img src="http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss120/yellowkid1/anashow006.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, here it is Sunday morning and I&#039;m back home with the newly dubbed &quot;Mr. Penny Lady&quot; who I missed terribly, and our cute little spoiled Siamese kitty who is meowing up a storm.&nbsp; It&#039;s going to take me a day or two to get back into a normal sleep pattern, but here&#039;s a recap of our last day at the Boston ANA....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I got up early Saturday morning to attend a WIN (Women in Numismatics) meeting, then it was off to the bourse floor.&nbsp; Todd has been so wonderful getting my booth up and running each morning, since he always arrived earlier than me - guess his &quot;clean&quot; living is more conducive to early rising than my nightly carousing is!&nbsp; Ok, Todd, don&#039;t let it go to your head, you still have to overcome that insubordination thing!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The day just seemed to fly by.&nbsp; Several more forum members stopped by and it was great chatting with them.&nbsp; Todd has been working like crazy all week to get everyone&#039;s photos done and their coins back to them before the show ends and I&#039;ve been trying to keep my &quot;blog&quot; up to date and prepare newps to put out, so we both thought Saturday would be a little more laid back - but NOOOO, it was crazier than ever!&nbsp; Everyone wanted Todd to take just a couple more photos, so he worked like a dog to get them all done, and to also get mine done before I had to get to the airport (Todd&#039;s plane didn&#039;t leave until Sunday morning).&nbsp; And more dealers and public kept coming to the table to try and make some last-minute purchases, or to sell what they had bought - which, of course, is a good thing and the main reason we are there!&nbsp; Also, since I&#039;m on the kids&#039; Treasure Trivia tour, we had lots of kids stop by which also kept us busy.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By Saturday, I was pretty much done buying coins since I was well over my usual spending limit (especially since I got a beautiful 1856 PF55 Flying Eagle), but then a nice young man from Northern Nevada Coin (who I bought the 1877 PCGS MS65 RB from on PNG day) brought this absolutely beautifully toned 1909-S vdb to my table since he knew I was crazy about pretty toned coins.&nbsp; Wow, it is so gorgeous, in an old PCGS green holder, MS65 RB.&nbsp; So I countered his offer, but was told I needed to deal with head hauncho Allen.&nbsp; He was gracious enough to give me a slightly better price, though it was still higher than I wanted to pay, but in my opinion, well worth it.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t looking to upgrade my 1909-S vdb since the one I have is quite pretty, but I just couldn&#039;t resist this eye candy piece for my own set!&nbsp; :heart;&nbsp; Pics to come later.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I finally pack up around 4pm, get to the airport, have my usual pre-flight beverage (though since I was told my flight would take 6 hours instead of 5 hours to get home, I bumped it up a little and had a shot of Patron!).&nbsp; Then I head to the gate, only to find out my flight is delayed 2-3 hours because our plane was stuck in Aruba!&nbsp; Geese, as it was, my flight wasn&#039;t getting into LAX until 10pm (west coast time) and now it would be closer to 1am, and then it&#039;s about an hour drive from LA to home, so poor Mr. Penny Lady had to stay up another few hours just to pick me up at the airport.&nbsp; One good thing was, though, I ran into another dealer at the bar who just happened to have bought a bunch of nice copper at the end of the show, so we wheeled and dealed at the bar over a good strong cadillac margarita, and I came home with some MORE copper!&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the Patron and Cadillac didn&#039;t have anything to do with all that copper looking pretty good to me! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
