So I went to a local flea market today, and got a nice little haul of wheat cents for my book. Wound up getting 82 hole fillers for $26.50.

Here are the dates I got. How would you guys say I did for $26.50?

I think I did a pretty darn good job to be honest. Went from having a really empty 1909-1940 folder to almost filling it up.

Now I am basically down to all the key dates, so the folder will probably stay like this for a while, but it definitely looks better!

Especially the key/semi key dates!

What a GREAT day you had. Some nice lookers too.

the 1909 VDB looks nice, might want to give it a little acetone/verdicare treatment and I bet it would be great. Same with the 1917 and 34D.

Love the 23S woody. Nice lamination on the 21S too.

What a haul! Great price.

I agree that the 09 VDB has some really nice detail to it. I might have to pick up some verdicare for it. Couldn't believe there were 09 coins in the bin I was cherry picking through.

That dealer always has some good stuff in his buckets that he lets people cherry-pick, though. I got most of the Buffalo nickels in the set I completed from him.

Great deal for $26.50!

Some of them appear to be cleaned/corroded, but that 26S looks great, at least VF but I would guess EF just from the obverse. It it is, that's a $30 coin on it's own.

I'd say amazing price. I've been trying to find a deal like that for a while as my 1909-2007 lincoln book is almost empty until the mid 30's except for the three of four I already have.

I loved being able to fill holes cheaply now its getting to be more and more costly to fill one let alone 82 in one go at it!
Nice buy for sure.
