First coin box I have hunted. I was totally surprised to find this shiny 1956 D Wheat. Normally, I get brown ones in pocket change. I've been looking up various errors, dies, doubling. I don't really see anything with this one. Can I get other opinions? Get it graded or not?

Nice coin to find in the wild. Cost to get it graded (at $25+) is worth more then the value of the coin (est $2 at most). Definitely worth saving and putting into a 2x2 flip if you like.

That's a nice find in the wild!

But, as mentioned, getting it graded would cost much more than it may be worth.

I had to put it in a 2x2. I'm still looking through the box. I found a total of 13 wheats. I'm so excited.

That is awesome and hopefully this feeling of euphoria lasts to cover those boxes you check in the future that contain zero Wheaties.
