<p>[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1349795, member: 18304"]About three years ago when my daughter was probably 2 1/2 years old, I was selling a batch of indian head cents on eBay. I usually only sell about ten at a time so I can keep it all organized and had then all on a coin tray by the computer. After the auctions closed, I was getting them ready to ship and I was short one. Of coarse I suspected my daughter, but she wasn't talking. I turned the house over three or four times and after a day or two I was resigned to contact the buyer and tell them the bad news. Before I did though, I needed my eye loupe for something. At the time I only had one of those cheap 10X triplets that swing out of a metal housing......whuala! There sat the indian head cent! She had been looking at the coin with the loupe, bless her heart! Unfortunately it was the exact size of the glass and it was now stuck! It took a little tapping on the side and it finally fell out. It all worked out in the end, but lesson learned with coins and toddlers. I am pretty proud of the little girl for watching and learning herself and showing interest in things that her Daddy is into.</p><p><br /></p><p>Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
