Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiago?

Or where's Waldo, if you prefer.

A simple contest: no colors, NO CODE!

Where is Matthew? On Sept. 16, 2012.

By now a number of you know how I spent my weekend.

From time to time I will offer clues. And I will be happy to answer any yes/no question.

Prize? Well, an old and beat up Barber dime. But one which
spent a fun time with me this weekend. When I got to the coin show and found our table, I noticed display trays still packed in boxes. So, I opened them and put them on the table. Then I wondered if my cohorts would show up on set-up day.
So anyway, I decided to leave a Barber dime in the display
case. Make 'em wonder when they see it.
As it turns out, my friend and mentor John put the dime under his display of absolutely, positively rare and wonderful Barber quarters. Just for save keeping. So, for two days my poor dime lived next to some ultra rich neighbors.
(Me? I just put out my dime collection. But BOY! My AU-58 1895-O dime never fails to generate drool.

Disclaimer: If I cannot find this dime I reserve the right to substitute another which made the trip with me but stayed in its roll. (I just threw the dime into one of my many tote bags and I have not unpacked yet.)

Rules? I would let anyone play but the moderators will have to OK this. Let's say for now if you have fifty posts you can win the prize. Less than 50 you win bragging rights only.

Oh, and the winner will be sent the dime in a standard envelope with one first class stamp. No insurance, no registration. Hey, the hotel alone came to $386.43!
Gas, food, beer - it all adds up.
So many stories that I cannot share with you. After all, this is a family group.
And what I spent on coins? OUCH.

Now, on to the fun!
