Young Beginner's Luck

I've recently started coin roll hunting and my 8-year-old daughter asked if she could hunt too. So today I sat her down with a tray and five rolls of pennies and showed her an example of what a wheat looks like.

After a few false alarms (Canadian cents), and a discussion on why we don't save the shiny "sheild" pennies, she found a wheat in her very first roll. That wheat was a 1919!

I think it's awesome when peoples children pick up these hobbies and passions. Awesome find too.
 

My daughter and nephew love looking for wheats and silver! Good job man on teaching her so young. My daughter is 8 and my nephew is 10 and they are hooked.
 

good save. hope she enjoys the hobby and stays with it :icon_thumright:
 

My mom started me on it when I was a kid, still have over 150 wheat pennies.
