Thats great to hear! I was actually gifted a 1.5 gallon ice cream bucket 3/4 full of pennies, earlier today. The cool thing is it had been sitting in a closet in a 2nd grade classroom since 1994 (my mom just retired). All dates 1959-1993. No gems, but a great copper to zinc ratio :) ... would have rather had your most wheat roll though!

wulffy11,
Make sure to look for errors and varieties. Also make sure to attach a note about these coins coming from your grandpa for future family members to know about.

I can't wait to give all the coins I have been stashing and rolling up to my grandchildren in like 40 or 50 years before I am about to bite the big one.... They'll be like wow look at that, 50+ rolls of 2009D nickels all AU-BU condition... Lets go buy some candy with them lol

Or give it to the one who's started his/her own collection ;)
Then all the other ones will want a "fair share of the money"

It sounds like you are enjoying this excellent opportunity to share some time with your grandfather and see some very interesting coins.

I have a few pictures. I went through a bank-wrapped roll that must have been circa 1967 since it was full of 1967 BU coins and several Wheats.

Those eight wheats were 1941, 1942, 1945 (x2), 1950, 1956 (x2), 1957-D.
Rest in Peace

Cool! You really got lucky. Today my dad found an envelope with a few wheats that he collected and lost in our basement thirty years ago! There was a 1916, 1928, 1936, 1944, 1945, and a 1946. Even a 44 merc! But 35 wheats...wow!
