I found most of these from CRH, and I was able to hand wrap all of them to make a full box of them. I also carefully re-glued the box shut, so they will remain intact and untouched for years. Just wanted to share, since it's cool.   Errers and Varietys.

Haha Coinfrog! That's a note for myself and others, so they know that they won't get any errors and varieties worth money! There's only value for the normal Wheats.

Some of those end coins are very shiny!

Aristarchus123, the reason why they are very shiny, is because I opened up MS BU rolls of 1957 D and 1958 P. I decided to throw those in there, so it would make the hand wrapped rolls more attractive.

Not easy to do. My wife, bank vault manager at the time, brought home 58 solid rolls of wheats in one shot. One third were red. They still are.

Thanks Jim and fistfulladirt! Definitely wasn't easy to do at all. It took almost 3 years of hard work, persistent searching and accumulating enough of them to do this. Then I had to make time to hand wrap all of them back up in rolls. Overall, I am happy that I was able to pull this off.  Fistfulladirt, also, that's very cool! I love how 1/3rd are still red!

Thank you 1962penny! I will hand wrap another box of them, once I get enough of them to do it again.

Awesome job! Certainly an awesome accomplishment. I have searched hundreds and hundreds of customer/bank rolls, and I now almost have enough to make a single roll of wheat pennies!  I don't get a lot of wheat pennies CRH where I am. -CH27

Thanks CoinHunter27. What state are you in? For some reason, I found tons of Wheat Cents in my area, mostly from the 1940's and 1950's of course.
