The Low Country Coin Show Feb 6 and 7, 2009

Yesterday and today, we went to a coin show. Yesterday, I felt tired, but I had fun. Now I have about 102 coins in my coin collection. My dad took a couple of pictures of me. I bought many coins. They are foreign coins. The countries they are from are Australia, Spain, France, Belgium, Peru, British Honduras, England, Sweden, Greece, Japan, Norway, Ecuador, Israel, Canada, Bahamas, Netherlands, Venezula, Philippines, Ireland, Portugal, Austria, Dominican Republic, India, Kuwait, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, and Guatemala. We've been there for over an hour. Then, we left, then, we went home.

The next day, I felt better, we went to the coin show again. It wasn't evening as it was before. We've been there for a couple of hours. For lunch, we got a cheeseburger and coke but didn't finish it all, not my burger but my dad's. We suddenly saw some kind of an Abraham Lincoln guy, he looked a lot like our 16th president who lived from 1809 to 1865 because, at Fords Theater, President Abraham Lincoln got shot by a bad guy named John Wilks Booth. One day, John died, and Lincoln died on April 15, 1865 at 7:22 AM. He was the one with the beard, it was black. Also, he was the one with the tall black hat. We got a picture with the Lincoln guy, he was his size and height. It was so much fun. There was a statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial that we went to. My dad got a picture of me of that Lincoln statue. My dad got a picture of me with the Lincoln guy, then, I got a couple or a few pictures of him myself. I bought many more foreign coins. The Abraham Lincoln guy gave me a silver penny of him, and it was made in 1943, it had a D on it; D stands for Denver, P for Philadelphia, and S for San Fransisco. They did have copper back then, but they didn't have enought to make pennies. They made World War 2 pennies out of steel. They used copper as shooting bullets. They shot them from cannons. Later that day, we left, went to World Market, Ross, and Target, then, we went back home.
