After I was done at the show Friday I decided to spend a little time taking in the pleasures of downtown Baltimore.
I got to meet some of the locals....
And take in some of the sites....
And then it was time for bed.
I got up early on the Saturday of the show in order to head home and beat the impending rain. As I had captured photos of all of the cultural treasures I passed on my way to the show, I decided to capture the natural beauty of the land on my return trip and hoped the weather would cooperate.
Here I captured the beauty of the Baltimore skyline at sunrise....
A candid shot of the beauty of southern Pennsylvania....
And the fertile glory of central Ohio....
On the way I decided to stop somewhere new for lunch....
Where I dined on two of these....
Which was probabaly a bad idea as several hours later, just outside of my hometown, I came down with a terrible case of the....
I had submitted two coins at Baltimore for crossover consideration....
I had anticipated the customary turn around time....
But my results were back in 7 days!....
I was happy that both crossed successfully and then was pleased to also get my photos back of my super secret stash of older NGC holders of lower value coins. All were purchased from ebay with no stickers just because I liked them. Here are a few of the 40 I had imaged....
Doing the cost/benefit analysis of the trip, I do not envision going to many more shows in the future. With all of the options our internet infiltrated lives offer, it really doesn't make much sense anymore. I would have preferred putting the money I spent on the trip into another coin for the collection.

I would argue that the best part of this report has nothing to do with the coins! But the coins are pretty darn sweet too!
PLEASE try to go to at least one show a year...some of us are spoiled and look forward to your reports!

Very, very,funny and entertaining. Really liked the dimes. Looking forward to your next "episode".
Man, looks like you stumbled onto the set of "The Wire." Had me ROTFL.
Those are some lovely Mercury dimes. Great photos.
Fun stuff. That’s exactly how I remember Ohio from my college days. And since I still have to work in downtown Seattle at times, the needles look familiar, too.
That run of gold beaned Mercs is sweet. I’m a little sad you cracked the $3 green bean but glad you crossed successfully. Did you already get the green beans reapplied to the new slabs?.....
I went with crossover so they would have stayed in NGC plastic if PCGS didn’t agree with the grades. They just shipped today so I will send them to CAC with my next submission to get them restickered.
