I am probably going to have to start adding to this thread as well since I am helping my mom complete her Wheat cent album. Halves and pennies for the win! :D

Very nice finds, everyone! I'm about done with pennies, coinstar takes too much and I already have like 15 rolls of LWCs, not to mention I only have semi-key/key dates left that I'm not going to find in circulation. Well, I guess that's what I said until I found that 1932 D...

Just found my oldest cent  , a very well worn 1920, the previous oldest was 1934. I'll see if I can get some pictures up soon...

Anything from the 1930's is notable for me, my oldest circulation find is a 1936, but friends and relatives have given me their wheat pennies, and the oldest out of them is a 1919.

Here are some pictures of the 1920 Wheat cent.   Surprisingly, a few minutes after I made my last post I found an amazing 1974 D. Maybe these pictures can give you a little idea...   I have it next to a decent 1966 and below average 1975 D for a comparison. It is almost certainly the best pre-1982 LMC I have found.

I went through $25 of pennies yesterday and found the following: 58D 2 57D 3 52D 2 51D 1 50D 1 48 1 47D 1 46 1 45 1 44 1 35 1 19 1 18 1 and 2 Canadian 63 & 66 plus one so covered with crud I can't tell what it is, other than a Wheatie. So my question is what should I use to try to clean it up to at least see the date? I'm not trying to conserve a valuable coin. It's more than likely a fifty something D anyway and will never be worth more than a penny I'm sure. If it is a rare date, no one would ever know if I don't clean it up so it would still only be worth a penny down at the Circle K in its current state. The 1919 is also covered with gunk so I probably would try to spruce that one up a bit too, just for the fun of it. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Recently picked up 4 bags and 30 rolls of pennies and my best American find in a while just came while searching the third bag so I thought I would share. Found 10 wheat cents including a 1926 and this 1923S.   The 23S is a hole filler which makes another 28 to go for a complete set of wheat cents.

Yesterday I pushed my record for the oldest penny found, again  . This time I found a 1917  . The picture shows it a little "darker" that it actual is.

Nice WheatHunter! It's fun pushing further and further back in time. You'll find an IHC at some point during your CRH career. That will bring a smile!
