<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1858294, member: 16948&quot;]I’m watching the Super Bowl as I write this show report, and really enjoying the commercials!&nbsp; I like underdogs and since my brother lives in Seahawks country, I’m rooting for them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So onto my report!&nbsp; As I’ve mentioned in previous Long Beach show reports, this show is my favorite show since I get to see so many friends and regular customers and it’s close enough for me to sleep in my own bed each night.&nbsp; And even despite the fact that there was no auction this time around, the show seemed crowded and business was brisk, even on Saturday.&nbsp; So this 50th anniversary of the Long Beach show did not disappoint!&nbsp; And by the way, this particular report will not disappoint in the wine department (enjoy Ricko!).&nbsp; Also of note, I’m sure you’ll be happy to see that there will be a lot more faces of lovely coin ladies in this report.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wednesday was a typically beautiful day, nice and warm.&nbsp; Here are some photos taken of the area around the convention center.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_4024_zps3090d56d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_4023_zps5a01eb8e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3880_zps003e43b8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3881_zpsb84b7807.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the street and the loading dock area where the cars line up to get into the loading dock (taken later in the day).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3939_zps45c86bb6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3940_zpsb8a4876e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I arrived at my usual time, about an hour before set up so I can be in line towards the front of the line to get into the loading dock.&nbsp; Well, I guess there were a few others who had the same idea this time, so when I got there I was about 30th in line!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3882_zps185a0992.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Paul of Scott Western Supplies and his little helper unloading</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3941_zpsb3bcc92a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Set up went quickly, and the vest pocket dealers began stopping by my table, and the coin buying began!&nbsp; Boy, did I buy a lot of nice coins this time around – you’ll see photos of all my newps later in this report.&nbsp; However, there was one particular coin that made my show!&nbsp; It’s a stunning 1877 Indian cent in PCGS MS65 RB, and, next to the one in my collection, is the prettiest 1877 Indian cent I’ve ever seen!&nbsp; It’s a coin I used to own about 4 years ago and quickly sold to one of my regular customers.&nbsp; He upgraded to one with more red and used this as a trade in to another dealer.&nbsp; That dealer then worked out a deal with me so I could own it (again). Whenever I showed this coin to someone, either their jaw hit my showcase or I had to wipe up the drool they left on my case!&nbsp; This 1877 is so pretty with blazing luster and pink, gold, and magenta hues, that I knew it wouldn’t be in my possession very long – and it wasn’t.&nbsp; I had it one day, and sold it to another regular customer of mine who saw it at the show, then called me when it got home and said he “just had to have it.”&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2002%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_3898_zpsa5ff77e5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
