Wow, this could be interesting. I know a few members here have boxes of solid dates.

I've got about 75 solid date original rolls of BU Wheats from 1943 to 1958. The vast majority of them are 1955-S.

I buy a lot of stupid stuff, but I like it.

Going with a rough count, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000-1500.

I believe I'm somewhere in the 2-300 range. No complete sets or anything.

Last time I counted(for a contest) I was above 13 thousand. I have been slowly sorting them into decades, and then need to figure out how to get rid of them.

Around 11,000, including two complete roll sets 1934-1958 (all mints) plus partial rolls. Around 3,000 pre-1934, including some 2,000 MM. No culls, no spots, no slicks, nothing below VG.

These were mostly put away in the late '50s - early 60s when I was a kid. Back then, we almost never saved early P-mints unless they were VF or better. The S-mint rolls I purchased from West Coast dealers in the early '70s for very little premium, and I culled them carefully.

I've been hauling them around ever since!
