expected, the show was much more sparsely attended on Sunday, even&nbsp; though most of the dealers were still there.&nbsp; I was able to walk around&nbsp; and visit with other dealers, one of whom is my favorite Conder token&nbsp; dealer – Gary Groll.&nbsp; I had bought some Conder tokens from him earlier&nbsp; in the show, and while we were talking, he asked if I had bought a new&nbsp; British token book that had been published a few months back by David&nbsp; Dykes.&nbsp; I told him I hadn’t heard there was a new book, so we went over&nbsp; to Scott Loos’ table to see if he had one among the books he was&nbsp; selling, and I was surprised to see he had one!!!&nbsp; I was very excited to&nbsp; have it and quickly bought it.&nbsp; Since the show was slow, I had time to&nbsp; rummage through it – what a great book!!&nbsp; I highly recommend it for&nbsp; anyone interested in 18th Century British tokens!!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1218_zpsad893a7a.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1218_zpsad893a7a.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1218_zpsad893a7a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1219_zps887a033a.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1219_zps887a033a.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1219_zps887a033a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the beautiful new Conder tokens I bought from Gary:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1220_zps728e2ae2.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1220_zps728e2ae2.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1220_zps728e2ae2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1223_zps80d965fb.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1223_zps80d965fb.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1223_zps80d965fb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>This&nbsp;

brought a smile to my face and simply made my day!&nbsp; He then sat down&nbsp; and I showed him several coins that he carefully examined to fill some&nbsp; holes in the Indian set he had started over the past year.&nbsp; After he&nbsp; chose a couple coins, one raw and one certified, he asked me to look&nbsp; over the coins he had previously bought from dealers and stores in his&nbsp; area.&nbsp; Since the show was slow, I had plenty of time and gladly agreed&nbsp; but I asked if he wanted my honest opinion, good or bad, and he said he&nbsp; did.&nbsp; So I proceeded to examine each of his coins and suggested that he&nbsp; might want to take some notes on what I considered to be the “problem”&nbsp; coins so he could go back and examine the coins for himself and review&nbsp; his notes.&nbsp; All of the coins were in the original flips he had bought&nbsp; them in, but unfortunately, many of the coins had been cleaned, and a&nbsp; few had other issues.&nbsp; I described to him each detail of why I thought&nbsp; the coin was cleaned so he could try and learn for himself how to&nbsp; differentiate the colors of a cleaned or dipped coin from a naturally&nbsp; toned coin.&nbsp; I suggested that until he could tell the difference, he&nbsp; might want to stay with certified coins, even if he had to pay a little&nbsp; more for a coin.&nbsp; I also suggested a couple books he might buy.&nbsp; I’m&nbsp; sure he was somewhat discouraged that so many of his coins had problems,&nbsp; but I think he was determined to educate himself so he could continue&nbsp; with his new coin passion.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the “roach coach” right&nbsp;

when we got to the airport, we said out good-byes to my brother, then&nbsp; Cindi and I were pleasantly surprised to learn we were leaving from the&nbsp; SAME gate, just at different times!&nbsp; So we got checked in and through&nbsp;

Cindi’s flight left, while I was waiting for my flight, I noticed that&nbsp; they suddenly changed my gate from the C terminal all the way over to&nbsp; the N terminal!&nbsp; I hustled down the escalators, and took the tram over&nbsp; to my new gate.&nbsp; Now, as much as I fly, I still don’t quite qualify for&nbsp; first class upgrades like some of the other dealers I know.&nbsp; So while&nbsp; waiting for my flight, the gate attendants made an announcement that&nbsp; they were offering upgrades to first class seats for $50.&nbsp; I quickly&nbsp; took them up on their offer and was very tickled to be given Seat No.&nbsp; 1A!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1262_zps0a34bf4d.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1262_zps0a34bf4d.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1262_zps0a34bf4d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1247_zpsddbc051d.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1247_zpsddbc051d.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1247_zpsddbc051d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1246_zps37364e18.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1246_zps37364e18.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1246_zps37364e18.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1248_zpsb96293d9.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s441.photobucket.com/user/thepennylady/media/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1248_zpsb96293d9.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2004%20Tukwila/IMG_1248_zpsb96293d9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&nbsp;
