[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 13898, member: 824"]Bottom line is that a 10 year old has better eyes than his old man. His job is to look out for Lincolns. You know some of the dates...1972 DDO, 1995DDO, 1998 and 2000 "Wide AM" and to date, he really hasn't found anything, except when he showed me a 1972 found in loose change. Holy Smoke! It looked like the real thing! I thought it was real, so I sent it off to PCGS and it finally came back certified as a [B]1972 DDO AU55 [/B] find! How about that! Told him he could do whatever he wants with his coin. He stared at it for awhile, but he really has his eye on one of those motorized scooters. So after discussion, we are listing it on ebay to see what happens. Every 10 minutes he will ask me, "Any bids?", so he is learning patience too! The good thing about this is he is seraching everything...asking everybody to look at their loose change. Hopefully he will fall in line with the next generation of collectors. This is how I got started after finding a 1931-S back in 1971! (my grandmother's mason jar). We all start somewhere don't we?[/QUOTE]
