Nice mix! It looks like it was a blast to search. You've got to find that same type of backstory but either in D or S land.

I went through a regular box of $25 pennies the other day.  I think I've spoiled myself  . Well the good thing is, my Next Wheat Box should be delivered and waiting for me by the time I get home today!!  |

I'm going through the 50's looking for Cud and varieties. This is what I've found so far. On the back of a 1955.  Notice the last "s" in states and the right wheat grain. |

One has a Cud on the 5. And the other has a Cud on the left wheat stock.  |

Well I recd my new box of unsearched unopened bank rolls. Went through 5 rolls and all were mediocre  . The only bright spot is I'm finding a lot more d's and s mint marks. It only takes one good coin. Let's hope. I'll have more time tomorrow to go through and post pictures |

I only just found this thread. Nice finds! When I was younger, every Christmas my grandfather would bring me a canvas bag full of wheats. I spent so many hours searching through them, and found a few better dates- a 1909-S (cleaned ), 1924-D (also cleaned), 1926-S and 1913-S. I sold the more common ones, but when I looked around at a coin show to sell the 1909-S, no dealer was willing to pay more than $55 for it, so I decided just to keep it. Come to think of it, I ought to look through all those again for varieties. |

Awesome finds!
Numisma, that would be fun to search though! I can imagine how awesome it was to have found that 1909 S...
