I realize there is little actual value in this exercise unless I find something with help from my new CherryPickers Guide but I'm sure some of you might find the numbers interesting.

Below is a snapshot of my "extra" wheat cents from 1909 to 1919.

A-Lincoln-Wheat-Hoard-Case-Study-Part-II:--


Observations:
No woodies
No double die 1917's
only 1 1915 cent?
Only AU was a brown VDB
As expected there were very few mint marked coins, none prior to 1915
Other than the VDB, best specimens are a few 17, 18 & 19 close to EF.

Up next this weekend, the 20's & 30's.

Data is always interesting (at least to some of us). Thanks for sharing! Is the dramatic uptick from '16-'19 indicative of overall mintage #'s?

I'm an actuary, numbers are my life, so it's inevitable that I'll eventually explore what I have verses what was expected. The main problem with that is the distribution of coins found "in the wild" by mintmark is very much location biased.

I would have loved to have grown up on the west coast with access to S mint coins.

Until then it's just figuring out what I have and see if I can cherrypick a variety or two...
