[QUOTE="umtrr-author, post: 194457, member: 5719"]As some of you may know, our now six and a half year old daughter Thalia Elizabeth led me back into coins a bit less than a year ago when we discovered a nice looking 1959-D Lincoln Cent at the bottom of her broken piggy bank. I went out and purchased the Lincoln Memorial folder and a second blank folder for the set, and we began the quest to complete the 1959-2006 set. Well, now it's 2007 and we received the first cent with that date last Thursday (from a Tim Hortons yet, for you Canadians out there). And on Saturday, fittingly, at the local coin shop that is so good to the kids, I got change back from my purchase of a 2007 ASE and within that was a 1968-S cent.

And it was all out of pocket change and a bit of roll searching, so it is in fact still possible! Thalia is certainly happy, and so am I :hug:[/QUOTE]
