<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1181052, member: 16948"]Yesterday was pretty busy at the show. They had several seminars throughout the day, so people were in and out, with the crown ebbing and flowing. I sold a beautiful PCGS AU55 1877 Indian cent that I had bought raw in Tukwila and sent to PCGS for grading. I also sold several neat cuds, retained cuts, shattered dies and clipped planchet Indian cents to a customer who has an amazing collection of these types of Indian cents.</p><p> </p><p>We went to dinner at PF Changs, one of my favorite restaurants on the planet, then headed home early so I could work up all my nep Indian cents to ship off to Todd for photographing.</p><p> </p><p>This morning was another pretty nice day here in Oregon, sun shining, no rain, a little cool, but very nice - I sincerely do appreciate having mild climate during my time here in Oregon! Here are a few shots i took this morning on the way to the show.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110513-00524.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110513-00526.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110514-00530.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Today the show part of this convention has been a little slow and more sparsely attended than yesterday. So i was able to get away and attend a very interesting talk given by our own John Kraljevich (even though I have a similar sounding Polish maiden name, I still always have to look up how to spell his name!). His talk had a very intriguing title: "The Taste of Dogmeat: Lewis and Clark in the Pacific Northwest." (As many of you U.S. history buffs already know, Lewis and Clark subsisted on salmon and dog meat during their time in the Pacific Northwest before heading back home.) John is an amazing young man and very entertaining to listen to - I don't think there is a question you could ask him relating to history that he couldn't answer. (Sorry, most of the photos I took caught John while he was blinking!)</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110514-00535.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Portland-20110514-00541.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Portland-20110514-00545.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Portland-20110514-00543.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>While I write this, I'm having some nice Wild Horse cab along with my fav Ritz crackers .
