<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1306570, member: 16948"]Charmy’s November 2011 Baltimore Show Report</p><p> </p><p>I arrived in Baltimore Wednesday early evening, and met up with Rick for dinner in Little Italy. We went to Sabatino’s, had a nice bottle of wine, then stopped by Shula’s bar where we ran into several other dealers who had just arrived in town. We tried to order a round of Irish Car Bombs but they were out of Guinness – can you believe it! So I switched gears and had a very tasty Lemon Drop martini. I then called it a night since I’d been up since 4am to catch my 6:45 am flight, and I wanted to acclimate to the 3-hour time change.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111116-00974.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://[URL]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111116-00973.jpg[/URL]" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111116-00972.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111116-00975.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Here’s a view of the city from my hotel room at the Sheraton about 3 blocks from the convention center….</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111116-00978.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>The show opened to dealers at 8am on Thursday, and everyone was hustling and bustling to get set up before early birds and the public were let in.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00979.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00983.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>And I’m all ready for business!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00985.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Here’s the bourse after the public was let in at noon.

Since Todd doesn’t drink wine, he began listing off the different labels for red wine they had at RtetAid. He found some really funky labels, so I just asked him to get some Robert Mondavi since you can’t really go wrong with any of their wine. Well, he really surprised me by getting some Mondavi PLUS this “boutique” wine because he really liked the label.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00996.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00992.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00991.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>And the cork….</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111118-01063.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111118-01062.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>The Moose wine wasn’t bad at all! He also picked up some absolutely wonderful eggnog that contained two different whiskys, rum, and bourbon. Now, as I mentioned, Todd doesn’t really drink alcohol but at the end of the day he did have a small cup of this delicious concoction - as did Mark Feld!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00995.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Several more forum members stopped by:</p><p>This is Jeff/Breakdown, one of the nicest and kindest people on the planet – and not to mention, of course, he’s a big fellow tom Petty fan!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-00999.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Mike/Goldbully stopped by with his box of 25[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary sets on his way to the PCGS table.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/PCGS25thAnnivCoins.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Mat/BillyGoatsGruff who now works at Pinnacle, is always a pleasure to see, especially to watch he and Todd banter back and forth!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01003.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Jeff/Coppercolor wanted to stay under the radar so I just took a picture of his hand and the new coin he just bought from me!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01000.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Tom/BigMoose</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111118-01061.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Chris/HalfHunter</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111119-01083.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Mike/MFH and his newps!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111118-01066.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Scott/MsMorrisine and his son Ethan – notice the boxes - he just returned from submitting his anniversary sets to PCGS!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111118-01067-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Mike/NE Rarities - Another fellow wine lover!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111118-01065.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Charles/Kaz</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111119-01086.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Here is the dedicated group of forum members who was responsible for the wonderful Seated Liberty display….</p><p>Darryl/ClassicSilver, Jerry/SeatedDime, Len/Coinasaurus, Stephen/Spetty [correctly spelled] (Speety’s Dad), John/Crypto74, Steve/Mr.HalfDime</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01004.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01005.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01008.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>I bought a circulated Indian cent in a SEGS holder, so I asked Gene Bruder who is just across the aisle from me if he would crack it out for me!
