Can I change my answer to "never enough"? I think that's a very appropriate answer. Not to jump on the bandwagon but it's such an excellent idea that: "me too". |

Hmm...I have a very large airtight jar full....separated by decade. I think about 1,500 in there. Dansco's with many in there, of course. Quite a few coin tubes with early dates. Maybe my total is around 2,000 ? ....  ... |

I'm closer to 20,000 than I am to 19,000. I have them in rolls by year and mint marks, a lot of them are 40's and 50's. Some people dump into a bag and sell them as unsearched. I will never sell them. I enjoy buying them and going through them I've found a few 09 vdb's, I found a 26s, 31s. One of these days i'll get lucky enough to get and 09s vdb.

I have about 10,000 wheaties: primarily yard sale acquisitions. Most of the time when I approach any seller at a yard sale I'll ask if they have any coins that they want to move. If it turns out they have wheaties to get rid of, I'll initially ask them if they want to make a 100% profit and double their money with 2¢ as a starting point to bargain from. If they balk at that offer, I will max out my best offer at 3¢ ea. On another note if collectors own several bags or rolls of any coins, they can always store these heavy objects at the very bottom of a file cabinet or dresser. Any top heavy structure is more prone to tip over from kids climbing on a drawer, for example, or experiencing any upward lateral horizontal force. With that extra weight at the base it will serve as a stabilizing agent thus minimizing the occurrence of potentially catastrophic event.  |

Wow everybody. That is a ton of Wheat Cents. I am only around 100. Brand new to roll searching. Just have what I've collected in 20 years of pocket change.

In my Lincoln set I have 141 wheat cents (most would have the same). I'm not counting those in Proof Sets.

150-300. I have a bunch in folders/albums and a sandwich bag full of others. all in all, under 300. They're not the most interesting coin to me so they're not my forte.
