Coin197, Great! I'll be sending you the Wheat set to pass along as well as 3 sets of XF/AU Memorials pulled and put together out of the best of 500,000+ CRH. These leave a bit of room to improve, complete through 2014. This is first opportunity to pass them on!
Nfine: great also, am putting in your 3 RPM's in box to Coin197.
Still have a few RPM sets left for those still wanting one, send me a PM.

 Good idea, having coin197 get them to members of his local club! If I won, I would've set them aside for my future niece/nephew, child of my sister who used to spend wheats.  She said something like "They're old, but they're still good, right? So I might as well use them!" She finally stopped when I told her should could have spent one that could pay off half her mortgage. If it takes pretending she'll find a 1943 copper in circulation, that's what I had to tell her! |

Today I received the awesome Whitman folder chock full of Jefferson nickels from 1938-1961! The YNs at the Charlotte Coin Club are going to love this! (I'm not sure how the leaders will utilize this "it's raining nickels" surprise, but they seem to inspire great enthusiasm and interest amongst those smart youngsters so I know it will be good.) Crazyb0 also included a bonus 1910 Liberty Head nickel, a 1935 Buffalo nickel, and 2009 & 2009-D Jeffersons! Way cool man, thank you so much.   ~ Mark Edited by dd27

Package received, crazy! Thanks! (Saw your note about taking another look at the mm on the wheat, and I'll be researching scopes tonight since I've been putting that off a bit anyway.)

I just sorted through all the wheat cents. After adding my 2017 set, I now only need 14 cents to complete it. Maybe that should be my new project - been wanting to do that since I first started collecting as a little boy 10 years ago.

Coin197...those were the "easy ones" to find! In all totals, I've looked through probably 33,000+ bulk wheat cents to date, most all but one lot of @1000(was short!), yielded very, very few of all but the most common of dates. Say get the 1917,1919,1927,etc., but no D or S mints for those dates. Same for the thirties. Only twice did I find a semi-key, a 10S and PO minus1 15S out of the total. Any semikeys or hard-to-finds were bought from lots specified as such and paid premium $. Finding anything in today's CRH other than common, is just plain luck, unless some idiot relative has put Grandpa's collection back in the pool! Glad your pleased, makes these giveaways special! Thanks.  Post a pix of those pennies! Edited by Crazyb0

Got mine a while ago...Just now getting around to posting pictures of all three. Not sure what RPM the '49D is...yet. Looking like it could be an unlisted one. Sorry about the poor picture quality  Edited by MontCollector
