<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1576158, member: 16948&quot;]On Friday and Saturday, several board members stopped by our table to say hi and/or have Todd shoot some photos of coins, and even to look at some of my copper!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John/Crypto</p><p><img

or know of, and been offered several interesting pieces.&nbsp; Here are some I recently acquired, including a few interesting ones from John Kraljevich.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These are very cool and rare salt and pepper shakers made from Lincoln cents</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20CHARMY/2012%2011%20Baltimore/IMG_0086.jpg"

/></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a zinc cent encasement (I believe the encasement is modern) but encased 1943 cents are not common</p><p><img

/></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>During the show, several of my regular “vest pocket” dealers stopped by my table to show me their copper.&nbsp; Wow, they had some amazing pieces of copper that I couldn’t pass them up.&nbsp; Among other pretty pennies, I bought two AU 1877 Indian cents, three 1909-S Indian cents in AU and MS, one of the most beautiful 1869 Indian cents I’ve seen (next to the one in my personal collection), several key Lincoln cents, and a gorgeous 1864 Small Motto Two Cent in PCGS MS64.&nbsp; I think I bought more coins at this show than any other show!&nbsp; Here is a photo of just some of the coins I bought throughout the show.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img

/></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Saturday turned out to be much busier than I expected.&nbsp; I had several nice sales all the way up until I had to start packing up.&nbsp; And overall, it was a fantastic show for me.&nbsp; And from some of the other dealers I talked to, they thought this was a really good show, but even more so, it was a great buying show – and I have to agree!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Soon, I was all packed up and headed to the airport.&nbsp; Again, I was pleasantly surprised that TSA didn’t need to inspect my bags so I breezed on through security and had extra time for a pre-flight beverage – this time, a very tasty mango margarita!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20CHARMY/2012%2011%20Baltimore/IMG_0118.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As is not unusual, I ran into people I knew at my gate -this is Ian Russell of GreatCollections.com who was at the gate right next to mine getting some work done.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20CHARMY/2012%2011%20Baltimore/IMG_0119.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also ran into Corbin from PCGS who happened to be sitting right behind me on my flight to Phoenix = he promised not to kick my seat too hard if I snored!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That’s it for this show report - bye-bye Baltimore until next March….</p><p><img
