My collection stops at 1943, so I guess this is the first one I am adding to the collection. Crazy I just found it in change. Report this Post to the Staff

ericmckeown Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 10:29 am I work at a drive through and I can assure you my customers don't get wheat cents back in change. I receive quite a few 'keepers'. Report this Post to the Staff
Weezer1878 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 10:50 am Crazy they are still in circulation, but very cool to see. I have a jar of coins that I need to look through now. I have a bunch of wheat pennies from 1909 through 1943, pretty much every year with various mints. I've been reading about them. I don't think I have any rare ones, but I love flipping through the collection. Report this Post to the Staff

If those are your collection, I'd be getting them out of there and not putting them back in. When you do take them out, don't pour them. Potential for more scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
