My 12 year old daughter asked for a way to make a few bucks for spending money

I suggested looking thru lincoln cents for the copper and varieties. I gave her my cherry pickers guide and $100 to get started.
So far she has a nice bag of copper cents. One brick was all brand new 2013 which she resold for $10 profit. And she found a 1984 DDO in AU.

    That's so cool, I love hearing stories like this. I do the same with my daughter and some of her friends have even shown interest too.
