<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1934584, member: 16948&quot;]Once again, the folks who put on the Long Beach Expo did a great job of promoting and putting on a great show.&nbsp; And usually the summer Long Beach show is much “quieter” than the spring and fall shows, but this one turned out to be very active, with lots of foot traffic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before the show started I had the opportunity to examine about 150 rolls of better grade Indian cents.&nbsp; While I love Indian cents and searching rolls, going through this many rolls can be a painstakingly tedious process and took me several days to go through them, but having a glass of wine made it even more enjoyable!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5322_zpseac2fcf0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5319_zps2334d452.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5321_zps740a3c57.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I brought quite a few of them to sell at the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Set up day started off with a bang, with one of my favorite vest pocket dealers bringing me some awesome pieces to purchase as soon as I got to my table, two of which I sold the next day!&nbsp; Here are most of the certified coins I bought at the show, many of which were from this same dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5570_zpsb62312b3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5575_zpsbd7700cb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5578_zps1f674455.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5579_zps2390e180.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this 1884 beauty from one of my customers</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5577_zps0d68020e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Around 5pm as usual, Collector’s Universe treated all the dealers to taquitos and beer.&nbsp; The bourse floor was pretty hot since they have to leave the large loading dock door open until all the dealers have brought their material in, so cold beer was very welcomed!</p><p><br /></p><p>After set up, we went to our usual Wednesday night restaurant not far from the convention center – a wonderful Italian restaurant called Café Piccolo.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5440_zps4ff6ee58.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the night where everyone brings a bottle of wine for tasting.&nbsp; Here is our selection (I brought the Rombauer – one of my favorite vineyards!).&nbsp; We always have leftover wine which we bring back to the show the next day, and this time was no different.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5442_zpsaecbde29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My booth helper Rich and DennisH</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5443_zpsf683a763.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My good friend Joanne (wife of foreign coin dealer Karl Stephens) and me</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5444_zps31b16225.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since we are regulars at this restaurant, they remember us every time we return – and they gave us a complimentary dessert for what they said was Karl’s “birthday!”</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5446_zpsd59c4bd3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
