<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1589503, member: 16948&quot;]During the show, a collector brought me this interesting bronze bar&nbsp; depicting a Flying Eagle on one side, and a serial number on the other.&nbsp;&nbsp; I had no idea what it was commemorating or made for but I ended up&nbsp; buying it because I really liked the Flying Eagle design.&nbsp; I welcome any&nbsp; information on what it is if anyone has any ideas!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0352.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0353.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&nbsp; are some more of my favorite people!&nbsp; This is Harold and his wife –&nbsp; they used to own a coin shop in Laguna Hills but he has since “retired”&nbsp; from running the store but still loves coins!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0355.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This&nbsp; is another avid collector friend, Chuck.&nbsp; He has an unusual type set&nbsp; with the lowest grade coin he could find that is very worn, but original&nbsp; and unmolested where you can still see the date!&nbsp;

afternoon, I opened these two most excellent bottles of wine which&nbsp; seemed to disappear very quickly (no, I didn’t drink them all by&nbsp; myself!)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0361.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0368.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A friend took a picture of me with my red matching iPhone cover (it matched my shirt and my booth!).</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/Charmyandreddotiphonecover.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&nbsp; night we just went over to Marie Calendars restaurant since it was&nbsp; right next to our hotel – and of course, they have the best pies ever-&nbsp; my favorite is their sour cream blueberry pie!&nbsp; I think I’m going to&nbsp; have to go back on my diet after the holidays….. ;-(</p><p><br /></p><p>Mandy (of ANACS) just happened to have a polka dot iPhone cover like mine!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/CharmyandMandyiphonecovers.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On&nbsp; Saturday we had lots of kids, especially boy scouts since they were&nbsp; holding the Coin Collecting Merit Badge class at the show.&nbsp; Several of&nbsp; them stopped by my table to look at my deep die cap and penny stack&nbsp; errors</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/Charmyandscouts.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/scouts.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A few “notables” even stopped by my table on Saturday – here are Ron Guth and Mike Farone!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0373.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0374.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ad here’s BustHalfBrian who helped Steve Price (Penny Lane Coin) at his table</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0370.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>John/1916D10C and CoinCrazed74</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0382.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My&nbsp; favorite Two Cent collector, Glenn and his wife Carol, stopped by to&nbsp; show me his beautiful completed certified Two Cent collection</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0372.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0371-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This&nbsp; is a new group of items I just added to my “Penny Exonumia”&nbsp; collection.&nbsp; They are referred to as “doll house” items that were hand&nbsp; made in England and each item contains British pennies (and a couple&nbsp; other types of coins).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0376.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And last but not least, my show newps!&nbsp; (The raw 1930-S has gorgeous rainbow toning that I couldn’t quite capture in the photo.)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2012%20Ontario/IMG_0378.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>While&nbsp; in Houston, the show seemed to start out slowly and picked up each day,&nbsp; this show started out with a bang, but then for me business slowed down&nbsp; quite a bit on Saturday.&nbsp; While there seemed to be a good crowd on&nbsp; Saturday, many were families with kids, so I didn’t conduct as much&nbsp; business as I had the previous two days.&nbsp; For me, I would grade this&nbsp; show a C.</p><p><br /></p><p>So that’s about it for my 2012 show reports!&nbsp; I am&nbsp; headed to the Las Vegas PCGS show at the Cosmopolitan this week, but I&nbsp; don’t plan on doing a report since I want to be able to do some business&nbsp; at the show, then play a lot of poker!</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Holidays to all of you!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
