Always fun to get a glimpse of that reverse in the wild.

I agree. I saw the reverse first and knew it was a Wheat cent.  Errers and Varietys.

That's a fun find, Errers! It certainly brightens my day when I get a wheatie, although it's been quite a while since that happened.

Thank you, all 3 of you! It makes me happy when I find a Wheat cent, regardless of the date. Errers and Varietys.

I have a full box of mostly common date Wheat Cents that I rolled up. I also have a bag filled with mostly common date Wheat Cents as well. I thought about unloading them at my local coin shop, if they'll take them. I've got way too many now. Errers and Varietys.

I still have 55 of these that I got from a bulk purchase of wheat cents in the UK many years ago. The highest number of spare wheat cents that I have are the 85 1943 Philadelphia cents. I have just over 700 wheat cents that I consider to be spare.

There's always that blood rush and thump in chest when I see a 1944 cent!! Is it copper or is it the elusive steel that I've read and heard so much about?  |

I always feel a little surge of adrenaline when I find a wheatie in change. One of the things I love about coin collecting is the history. Just think about what the world was like--for better or worse--when this coin was first put into circulation. It transcends time. Edited by jpsned

Thank you, both. I agree. I love the history of these coins. You never know where they've been all these years. I hope everyone had a good 4th! Errers and Varietys.
