[ATTACH=full]676597[/ATTACH] Long Beach is a beautiful City with so much to see & do, in fact, in this first shot you might notice the cranes from the Port of Long Beach, the dome where the Spruce Goose had been held and the Queen Mary's 3 smoke stacks dotting the horizon. If we could pan the photo a bit to the left, you'd see a group of people doing yoga...but I preferred this scene for our report. [ATTACH=full]676601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]676602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]676603[/ATTACH] Those images don't paint a sufficient picture of the true scale of the Long Beach Convention Center, but at least you get an idea. Now lets head inside....down the entry way; [ATTACH=full]676605[/ATTACH] Past the Heritage Auction suites... [ATTACH=full]676610[/ATTACH] Then onto the bourse floor... [ATTACH=full]676611[/ATTACH] Our first stop is to visit Jeff Garrett & his wife to talk and see a few of their rarities for sale. NICE STELLA!!! [ATTACH=full]676612[/ATTACH] Then off to the US Mint Booth....near the back....were the food is, because we're also rather hungry for lunch :-) [ATTACH=full]676613[/ATTACH] The newest offering from the US Mint was their 5oz Ellis Island ATB puck!
