<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1666997, member: 16948&quot;]Bill&nbsp; Anderson told me he had an exhibit on Two Cents so before the show&nbsp; opened to the public on Saturday morning, I went over and checked out&nbsp; the exhibits.&nbsp; All of the exhibits were really well done and very&nbsp; interesting, but of course since I love copper, I have to say that I&nbsp; liked Bill’s exhibit the best!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1095_zps88de27c3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1096_zps4e6819f7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1097_zps6bdd51b5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1098_zps0a4d83fc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1099_zpse94372d5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1100_zpsc5119b87.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1101_zps9c762b3f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also stopped by to see how the PCGS and NGC folks were doing!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1105_zps329e1359.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I even caught their security guard kicking up his heels!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1104_zps5c921477.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1103_zps15585892.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>On my way back to my table, I spotted these creepy bugs at a dealer’s table!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1107_zps5a1f9783.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also ran into two of my dealers buddies – Lou Rasera and Doug Bird</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1109_zpsebc5facf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then another one of my dealer friends (Jim Bush/Shrub68) stopped by and ended up buying one of my nicer pretty pennies!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1106_zpsaff41ef2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The&nbsp; bourse stayed pretty busy on Saturday until about 2pm when it started&nbsp; to die down, which was good since it soon would be time for me to pack&nbsp; and catch my flight home.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1108_zps777b20a8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>When&nbsp; I got to the airport, my airline didn’t seem very busy, but when I&nbsp; turned the corner and headed to security, I was shocked at how long the&nbsp; line was!&nbsp; Luckily it was moving rather quickly but it still took about&nbsp; 45 minutes just to get to the boarding pass check.&nbsp; I was relieved that&nbsp; they didn’t need to do a security check on my bags, and quickly headed&nbsp; towards my gate.&nbsp; I stopped at the Green Turtle for a drink and a snack&nbsp; and ran into about a half other dealers there including my fellow&nbsp; female dealer – beautiful Bonnie with Albanese Rare Coins!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1115_zpsa2c71ca8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1116_zps9948e498.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1118_zpsd67de4ae.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And here’s me trying to take my own picture!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1113_zps655594f3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon it was time for me to begin my long trek home!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1122_zps1cf11ddb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My&nbsp; first leg to Houston was completely full, including many coin dealers!&nbsp;&nbsp; But my flight from Houston to OC was the complete opposite with only&nbsp; about 20 people total – there were only 4 of us in the front section and&nbsp; I had the whole row to myself!!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1124_zps95860046.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then&nbsp; finally, I saw the lights of Orange County below which meant I had to&nbsp; turn off my camera, because soon I would be on the ground and almost&nbsp; home!!!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2003%20Baltimore/IMG_1126_zps0e27e671.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This&nbsp; Baltimore show for me was not one of my best selling shows, but it was a&nbsp; very good buying show.&nbsp; Even though I was a little disappointed with&nbsp; retail sales, I was very pleased to acquire some nice quality better&nbsp; date coins.&nbsp; I think other dealers had some similar experiences with&nbsp; their retail sales, as several of them stopped by and I ended up doing&nbsp; some wholesale business.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next up is the McIntosh show in Sacramento in two weeks, then the PNNA Tukwila show in Washington two weeks after that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
