Nice wheaties score, Waltick90! That also seems to be a high percentage of Canadians - do you live near the border?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Excellent. I had a similar experience several years ago--five customer rolls full of wheat cents. No 1909 VDB, but a decent mix of 20s through 50s.

Quote:Please post a picture of the 1959 Wheat cent. So as it turns out, I was just very tired and mistook this shmutz on a 1950 as 1959 at a glance without even questioning it. Major brain fart. Sorry guys!   |

Awesome finds!  I remember finding over 156 Wheats, or something like that, from a box once. Never broke the record for that one, to this date. Errers and Varietys.

Part 2 - Got a call from one of the tellers I'm friendly with letting me know that the same individual who dumped the rolls previously just dropped off another 50 rolls. Needless to say I darted over and grabbed them up. They were loaded with copper. Not as good in terms of Wheat cent dates this time, but not bad (including a couple in Unc. condition). What was curious were several Proofs littered about randomly in the rolls. Ill list everything I pulled I think worth mentioning below. Proofs• 1978 • 1986 • 1987 • 1997 • 2009 (Early Childhood) • 2018 • 2017 • 2019 • 2020 • 2021 2009's• (34) 2009 P • (21) 2009 D Wheat Cents• (2) 1958 • 1958 D • 1957 [AU] • (2) 1956 • 1956 D [Unc] • 1953 • 1953 D • 1952 • 1951 • 1951 D • (2) 1949 • (3) 1949 D • 1949 S • (3) 1948 • 1948 D • (4) 1946 • (4) 1945 • (2) 1944 • 1942 • (6) 1942 D • 1941 • (2) 1941 D • 1940 S [Unc] • 1937 • 1936 • (3) 1935 • (2) 1934 • 1925 • 1919 |
