I picked up a change purse filled with wheaties at a yard sale a couple of days back. Upon searching them this morning, it turned out about 95% were very ordinary 1940's & 50's types (although about a dozen of those were AU/UNC). Here's one of the few outliers, a 1923-S that appears to have circulated a long time despite a minor delamination just in back of Lincoln's head.

Cool find! The Improper Alloy Mix coincided with the Lamination peel.
