In case you don't read my main topic of "restarted roll searching". Yesterday I hit the jackpot on wheat cents. I picked up $30 worth of cent, 1 box and 10 lose. Needless to say most of the box was wheat rolls.

1945 Novelty piece. Reverse is in AU/XF condition, no idea of the year. Obverse is in XF condition. Not sure if it is hollow. The obverse is the "outer" portion, and has a clip at the top where it appears someone tried to separate the 2 sections.


10 with partially to fully unreadable dates.

2323 with readable dates plus 10 unreadable plus 1 novelty.

Wow...pretty amazing find at face! That's a better date/mm spread than many "unsearched" bags on ebay.

You are VERY lucky....buy of the year for sure! My dealer pays 3 cents each for wheats, that could even be instant profit. However, I'd definately search those, GREAT FUN! Congrats!

I'd have to go buy $10 in quick picks for the lottery after that. Then go and buy every single box they had and any loose rolls. That is a great find.
