ANA Newps Part 2

As I previously reported, we were very successful in finding some great new coins to offer to you. Part 2 of our ANA Newps includes some Bust and Seated dimes, quarters and half dollars, including PCGS, NGC, and some raw coins. We found a nice mid-grade 1815/2 half in a PCGS VF-25 holder, and a nice 1869/'8' 3c silver in PCGS PR-63 Cameo! There are only twelve 1869/'8' 3c silvers certified by PCGS!

My First Impressions of Florida

As previously stated, we moved to Florida to get closer to my in-laws, to avoid the harsh winters in Pennsylvania, and to avoid the sales tax on coins proposed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. So we drew a circle 100 miles in radius around the in-laws, and searched for houses in that area. My in-laws checked out a lot of the houses that Karen found on-line. It turned out that Karen found a great house about 15 minutes away from her parents. She showed me pictures on-line, went down to look at the house, made an offer on it and she bought it. The first time I saw it in person was when we got down here, about 1 hour ahead of the moving van. That, my friends, is called "trust".
Sebring is two hours south of Orlando and midway between the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. If you put a dot in the center of the peninsula called Florida, Sebring is there. It is a small town wrapped around a lake called Lake Jackson. Land and houses on the lakefront are very expensive, probably like just about anywhere else. The population of Sebring increases dramatically in the winter months as a lot of people up North come down to Florida. These people are called "snowbirds". We had thought about becoming snowbirds but we didn't want to move twice a year, and we didn't want to own two houses, and it is difficult to change the business location twice a year.
It is hot and humid in Florida in August. Although the residents here say August was a mild month.
Radar can show the weather clear as a bell, yet half an hour later you will have a big thunderstorm, that seemed to come out of nowhere.

People are friendly here, which is a good thing.

The people at the Post Office are very good at what they do, just like in Hershey. Another good thing.

If there is an official state animal in Florida, it must be the lizard. Lizards are everywhere, some of them even talk to you about car insurance in a British accent.
I am guessing that mosquitoes and fire ants are protected species, there seem to be so many of them.
The department of motor vehicles is very efficient, we both got drivers' licenses, car registration and voter registration in a total time of one hour. And the photos are accurate, not like the driver's license of Maxwell, the Geico pig. ("Next!")
Changing lanes Florida style: We saw someone change from Lane 2 to Lane 1 then immediately into a left-turn lane, then abruptly stop and cross 4 lanes of traffic to go into a shopping mall through its exit-only lane. My goal is to stay away from drivers like that one.

Upcoming Events

We will be attending the Collectorama show in Lakeland, FL October 16 - 18. We will of course be attending the Baltimore show November 5 - 7. If you get to either or both of these show, please stop by and say hello.

We are now at our new location in Sebring, Florida. Our new address is P O Box 7096, Sebring, FL 33872. Our new office phone number is (863)314-6872 and my cell phone remains the same at (717)579-8238.
