No !.......not quite exactly ! .....
Let me explain:

Somewhere in this long drawn-out thread of mine, I mentioned that I'd like to get the 400 Cents for $8.00 !
And OF COURSE I'd have liked THAT !
But that was assuming that it was gonna be what "most people" usually seem to get in "unsearched" lots...... which are all just "common date" Wheats......1930's, '40's, and 50's.
I wouldn't ever want to pay anymore than .02 Cents or .03 Cents apiece for those ! That's all they're worth to me !

BUT ! ......

If I'm going to be getting 1909's, '10's, 15's 17's, etc. etc. etc., etc., etc.,.......then yes.... I will be HAPPY to pay more than that for them !
Because just a few of those ( or about 40 different ones) in my case would make it worth that.

No one else thinks so ? .....

Jeeez ! ....

Do I need to post some pics of the better ones ? ....

A good many of the "40" I mention, would be worth .25 Cents to a couple few bucks EACH depending on condition and the buyer.

Yeah.......I have NO doubt that I made a good purchase ! ......

But, as I said, had they all been 30's, 40's, and 50's, THIS THREAD WOULD HAVE ENDED A LONG TIME AGO ! ....

The Holder is Happy !

I'll be adding these singles to my 1909 tubes, my 1910 tubes, my 1911 tubes, my 1912 tubes, my 1915 tubes, my 1916 tubeds.....1918 tubes.... all through the 1920's tubes etc., etc., etc., etc., and so on and so forth !
And since about half of the 400 Wheat hoard were "S mints" too.....I'm happy to segregate those and put them into their corresponding tubes or bags as well !

HOOO AHHH !

Discluding the keys & semi-keys (or varieties/errors) in this conversation.... ANYTHING "Pre-1930" in a Lincoln Cent, is worth more than .02 Cents to ME !
And still even in a G-4 grade ! ...

The history and age of the "Pre-1930 Cent" IS just more valuable to "me"........apparantly ONLY me, but that's okay !

And yeah, because of having spent that $32.00, I'm sure my family and I will now be evicted from our home, we'll have to cancel that trip to Europe, we'll have to cancel "cable tv", and we won't be able to even make bills this month now.......or even feed the dog....might be livin' under a bridge now spending this kind of big money and all....... BUT I GOT MY WHEATIES BABY !



It's just $32.00 BUCKS ! ........... Not $3,200.00 BUCKS on some gold coins or something !
