<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 670851, member: 16948&quot;]BNB, it was very nice meeting and talking with you today - it&#039;s always great seeing the excitement and inquisitiveness in a new collector&#039;s eyes.&nbsp; And Mike, I&#039;m always glad you stop by my table when you get to one of my shows, I enjoy chatting with you and finding what newps you picked up.&nbsp; And Mr. Organic stopped by as well, he&#039;s a really nice young man, very coin savvy, and also fun to catch up with.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the show goes, it was pretty slow sales-wise, though I seemed to be busy since several of my regulars stopped by for nice chats and a new collector whom I met during one of the ANA tours when they stopped by my table to &quot;interview&quot; me also stopped by and had a lot of questions about where to begin collecting.&nbsp; I bought a couple coins, but nothing to brag about, just nice decent Indian cents, and a decent (though very heavy) half bag of wheaties that I needed like a hold in the head but the price was right!</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite variety collector customers also spent time going through some of my coins looking for more overdates and other varieties.&nbsp; He even noticed that my 1886 T-1 clamshell has a repunched 6 (S-1), which was an added treat since this is one of my favorite coins in my collection.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a photo, even though the repunched 6 is hard to see, it is pretty clear with a loupe.&nbsp; There&#039;s an extra part of an extra 6 inside the loop of the 6. :high5:</p><p><br /></p><p>Todd had given my last group of coins that he photographed for me to Peter McIntosh to bring to me (they live close to each other up in the Sacramento area), so I was happy to be reunited with my newps, especially my 1877 and 1914-D which I posted earlier.&nbsp; Plus, I got to show off these beauties to several of my customers, which meant I could get more oooohs and awwwes and this sure helps make even a slow show much the better! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then around 2pm, we popped (well, pulled) the cork on the bottle of wine I brought and my partner Rich and I and another dealer and good customer all had a welcomed glass (well, red plastic cup) of wine to help pass the afternoon. :goofer:</p><p><br /></p><p>One good thing about this show is that they serve very yummy and reasonable homemade breakfast and lunch, which is a nice treat to have at a coin show. :eat:</p><p><br /></p><p>Tomorrow, my son Troy will help me out, even though I don&#039;t expect it to pick up much, but he will be a big help when it comes time to pack up everything and load it all into my car, then unload it at home! Kiss</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s about it, better get to bed so I can be fresh and alert so when they open the doors tomorrow and all those crowds come pushing and shoving their way into the show and fall all over each other just trying to get to my table!&nbsp; Whawhoooooo!&nbsp; Have a good night all.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
