Agreed! I began collecting in 1971 and as a result have many tubes of pre-1959 pennies and nickels that I got strictly from change. Wheaties were still relatively plentiful back then. And of course I have BU examples of every coin since then, again obtained just from change.

Indeed!

I am always excited when someone posts a wheatie found in change, even though some want to deride them as common. They are not as common as they used to be!

Update- just went to my LCS to try to get the rest of the relatively lower priced ones knocked out.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a 29-D or 39-D.

Here are the ones I got:
1910-S, 1912-S, 1914-S, 1915-S

My-1909-1940-Lincoln-Cent-Collection-Progress
My-1909-1940-Lincoln-Cent-Collection-Progress

1929-S, 1932, 1933-D, 1937-S
My-1909-1940-Lincoln-Cent-Collection-Progress
My-1909-1940-Lincoln-Cent-Collection-Progress

Now I am just missing:
1909-S VDB
1909-S
1911-S
1914-D
1924-D
1929-D
1931-S
1939-D

81/89 completed!

You have a great set working. Something about getting a Wheat cent has always been exciting to me.
