    From the grandson's bag of coins

    This one was found in the bag full of coins grandson Skyler brought to me to search.
    I found it listed at traildies.com as 1995D-1DER-002WS 180 degrees.
    Although they are not clearly evident, the obverse and reverse die gouge markers are in place.
    I wanted to post it so the little guy gets recognition for his little hoard of Lincolns.
    Thanks everyone!

              Actually, he also gets the 1983 ddo I posted yesterday to keep in his album.
              Me? Nada, zilch, dry spell, and still crazy enough to search.
              Of course, he was happier with the four single dollar bills I handed to him in exchange for the pennies and has no idea these two coins will add value to his future collection. But, what the hay, you gotta keep kids in the dark sometimes.

                            Poor mo052246. I do understand your situation.
                            It is not easy to get any child interested in a hobby that does not require a cell phone, computer, game pod/console, or microwave oven.

                              It is always nice to see a YN find something of value. Great going Skyler.
