I know there has not been any coin shows and was wondering if anyone has seen Charmy around. Some here miss her. Thanks in advance

She sends out a newsletter every so often with recent newps and such
Sorry, I have not.
She put a pretty amazing double liberty Indian cent on the BST forum a few days ago.
I miss Charmy's show reports....She covers everything from airport to airport and all the coins, people, food, drink and gossip in between. Cheers, RickO
I have seen her posting on Facebook as recently as today, in a thread about going or not going to the ANA show in Pittsburgh. IIRC she said that she would not be going even if the show is held, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Awww, it's sure nice to be missed - thank you! I very much miss attending shows and doing my reports as well. I know I haven't posted much, just haven't been anywhere or done much coin-related things to post since the craziness began. And, unfortunately, with a new grandbaby on the way due in September, I don't plan to attend any shows for the rest of the year. So, if you don't mind, how about if I post a "show" report of what I've been up to the last few months!
I'm still hunting down coins for my customers and/or inventory and selling off my NEW website, as well as Collectors Corner and Facebook (I don't do eBay). I even managed to find a coin for my personal collection, a Lincoln cent in a Doily holder!
After PCGS re-opened, they allowed me to go and pick up some coins I had submitted before the craziness that they were finally able to finish grading. They were very cautious, took my temperature before I entered, of course we all wore masks, and then they put my coins on a cart and had me retrieve them and then leave the building right away so there was minimal exposure and no contact. I was very glad for all the precautions.
When not hunting down coins for my customers and/or inventory, I mostly take rides up in the local canyon or along PCH in Laguna/Newport/Huntington Beaches in my lil red 1968 GTCS which really brings me a lot of peace and joy.
My mustang club was even asked to participate in the filming of a new tv show about cars with an episode focusing on mustangs. So they picked out a group of classic cars, including mine, and filmed us driving along PCH in Huntington Beach.
I also like to do puzzles to keep my mind busy and occupied since it's been really hard for me not being able to travel and go to shows, buy/sell my pennies, view exhibits, see my friends, talk coins, etc. And pairing puzzles with wine is twice as nice! My grandson calls me "Mimi" so my kids got me this "sippy cup" for Mother's Day!
We've been having a couple backyard bbq's with our kids who live locally so we can stay connected and have a bit of normalcy. During our last get together, we cut our grandson's hair for the first time in months, and this is how my son "rinsed" off his head!
When restaurants finally opened here in OC, my hubby and I took the mustang to our favorite local diner, The Snooty Fox. Though there were half the tables in the room, the menus were paper throw-aways, and every condiment was parsed out in little containers, it was really nice eating out for the first time in months!
Also, after four months of not leaving Orange County, my hubby and I finally ventured out of OC and spent a few days at our place in Lake Havasu last weekend ! We took our 1983 SKV "Stuck in the 80's" boat out on the lake on a Thursday so there was hardly any other boats on the water. Even though it was 110 degrees, it was great spending the day cruising the lake, stopping and playing in the water, and just being free with the "hot" wind and cool water splashing in our faces!
And of course, our "little" Penny just keeps getting lazier and chubbier!
I plan to attend the FUN show in January and have already signed up, so I am very excited to try and get back to some sort of normalcy starting with that blockbuster show - and I hope to catch up with many of you folks, and of course will do a full picture-filled show report!
Even though it might be OT, perhaps it would be fun if some of you also posted a few photos of what you've been up to during the last few months!

A very nice post @ThePennyLady
Glad you and the family are well.
I hope to see you at Winter FUN!
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Cool post
Cool piece. Seeing you post Penny Lady, already seems to bring back "normalcy". Lol. Thanks
Good thread too!
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Congratulations on the Grandchild coming! Hope things are much better by then. Our first Grandchild was born yesterday...2,000 miles away in Canada! We are not allowed to cross the border to see him and our daughter, and don't know when we will be able to!
Steve McQueen would be envious of your 'stang.
Thanks for the update and photos... glad all is well with you, the family and the coins.
@ThePennyLady
Charmy, you’re a class act. The Mustang is ooooh so sweet. New grand babies are even sweeter. Take care & see you at a show one of these days.
Great post. Love the mustang. Got my mom a sippy cup just like that a few years ago.
