<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1934588, member: 16948&quot;]That night we went up the street to a really good Argentinian restaurant called Gaucho Grill.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5550_zps707b60eb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>These were the wines we brought to share during dinner</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5552_zpsf96553d4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This was the very tasty chicken and spinach dish I had, it was part of a complete meal/deal and included a delicious bread pudding with caramel sauce dessert – it was wonderful!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5553_zps25fefd70.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_5554_zpse87487a2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I arrived early Saturday to try and finish processing coins for my inventory and get coins ready for NGC and PCGS.&nbsp; Here’s the PCGS table.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5563_zps8d171d74.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And the PCGS folks!&nbsp; This is Ophelia and Alicia</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5566_zps6b07c8c0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And David</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5567_zps21f3e1c3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As usual, my table was part of the kids’ treasure trivia so I had lots of little guys and gals stop by my table to find the answer to a question.&nbsp; Here’s one of the adorable little boys who was doing the treasure trivia all by himself!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5565_zps32ae5a42.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After the hunt is over, the kids gather at the Pirate’s table for their prizes.&nbsp; Then they gathered around this table where a dealer taught them a little more about coins</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5581_zpsc336d340.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_5583_zps07d9bf11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some new Conder tokens I just got back from NGC and brought to Todd to photograph.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5585_zps67343dc8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon it was time to tear down, pack up, and head home.&nbsp; In the middle of packing, we took a short break since we had a bit of wine left in one of the bottles that Rich and I shared.&nbsp; Even though the wine was gone and the show was over, we still had some nice music playing on my little Bose boom box with the big sound to make the tear down a little more enjoyable.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5587_zpsf06eb7d7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The bourse floor soon looked like a ghost town!</p><p><br /></p><p>My table is basically in the middle of the bourse floor – this is a view from my table looking towards the front of the room</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5590_zpscee90ff9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking towards the back of the room</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2006%20Long%20Beach%20Show/IMG_5591_zps08fd2528.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, it turned out to be a pretty successful show, though at times selling activity lagged.&nbsp; Big coins didn’t seem to be moving as much as small/medium priced coins.&nbsp; But I was happy to find some nice new pieces to add to inventory, including several quality raw coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So that’s it for this show report.&nbsp; Next up – the ANA Summer Seminar in a few weeks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
