There are 4 collectible condition pieces known, and this one and one other were both recently sent to PCGS for an alloy test.&nbsp; Both were determined to be pure copper, which will necessitate a change by the Red Book to reflect this finding. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4790_zps8qpiwaqg.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/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4793_zpsblddjjad.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also got to see this very cool rare and beautiful Flying Eagle pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4835_zpseoyltmot.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/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4832_zpsplozbkip.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another friend of mine stopped by and showed me some of the coins that are featured in his 100 Greatest Women on Coins book.&nbsp; The book is so wonderfully written with such beautiful photographs, and I was in awe being able to see these coins in hand!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4796_zpshpthzbgb.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/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4794_zpsq4vdcdkt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Notice that Marilyn has a real diamond chip in her earring!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4797_zpscui7xh24.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/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/Marilyn%20Monroe_zpsrvxg44p3.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/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/IMG_4798_zpsgj05mvlb.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/2016%2002%20Long%20Beach/Renoir_zpsa4tkdhsb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After the show, we went to one of our usual and always delicious restaurants, Café Piccolo, where each of us beings a bottle of wine to share and taste.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
