<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1182129, member: 16948&quot;]I went to the&nbsp; auction last night just to observe.&nbsp; I noticed that McCauley was bidding (and winning) up a storm - it&nbsp; seemed he had his bidder number up on every other lot!&nbsp; Being new to an&nbsp; EAC auction, what I found very interesting was the number of&nbsp; electroplate (sp?) copies and restrikes in the auction that were selling&nbsp; for what I considered strong money - but what do I know?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Today&nbsp; was what I call a &quot;nothing&quot; day: no public and no sales, just mostly&nbsp; people coming in to pick up their auction lots, and dealers packing up&nbsp; and leaving. However, my buddy did pick up a very pretty 1903 1$ gold&nbsp; piece PCGS MS64 in an old green holder from &quot;the Colonel&quot; that he is&nbsp; very pleased with.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I did was finish entering all the new&nbsp; slabbed Indian cents I bought into my inventory sheet, then packaged&nbsp; them up so my buddy could ship them off to Todd tomorrow for&nbsp; photographing.&nbsp; After that was done, we packed up my table and headed to&nbsp; the airport.&nbsp; Now I&#039;m here at an typical airport bar a couple hours&nbsp; early, so I changed it up a bit and am having a very yummy White Russian&nbsp; (or two) for my customary pre-flight beverage while watching the&nbsp; Memphis/Oklahoma playoffs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So here are my final photos from the Portland EAC Convention.&nbsp; Here&#039;s one I took from the back of the room at the auction last night.&nbsp; The auctioneer was a hoot (don&#039;t recall his name), but he kept the lots moving and he was quite entertaining.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Portland-20110514-00550.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I took this on our way home after the auction - Portland at night....</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Portland-20110514-00551.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I forgot to mention the great local diner we went to several times for breakfast in the Lake Oswego area - Miller&#039;s has an amazing avocado eggs benedict!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Beaverton-Hillsboro-20110515-00554.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110515-00552.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Beaverton-Hillsboro-20110515-00553.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After two beautiful sunny days in Portland, here&#039;s what I left behind - I took this last photo as we approached the airport.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20110515-00555.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My hubby told me it poured pretty hard this morning here in SoCal but when I arrived home, it was absolutely the beautiful sunny SoCal I know and love!&nbsp; Boy, is it good to be home![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
