Have hesitated to post this because I would have a hard time believing it if someone else put it up. Still, all of these came out of the same box of Lincolns. 75 Wheats as follows: 1909 x 2 1933D x 2 1909VDB 1934 x 3 1212D 1934D 1913 x 3 1935 1914 1936 x 2 1916D 1937 x 4 1916S x 2 1938 1919 x 2 1939 x 4 1919S 1939S x 3 1920S 1921 1921S 1926 x 6 1928 1929 x 3 1929S Plus 17 1940s and 50s 1909VDB will grade VF, have not done, yet.  Also, there was an MS 1972-S  And a 1972 DDO, have not studied for markers, yet.     The teens are typical G-04 on up to fine. There was also a minor RPM 1950-D. I know one thing, I doubt another box will ever be as much fun or exciting as "The Hallelujah Box" Amen, Jim Edited by Jim1953

...all of these came out of the same box of Lincolns. As in a $25 bank box--and not from a coin shop?    Congrats! Wow--talk about the odds! I can only guess those are part of an old hoard. |

I would go back to the same bank ASAP and
get more boxes.
Where there's one there's more.

great find. I would say though that your box is far from unbelievable just my opinion. Congrats and keep searching you will find the 99 Wide AM |

Actually, I bought a second box with this one. It had some carry over but nothing like this. Bought these on Friday, went back Monday but things are back to normal. Hmmmm, maybe I should have thought to buy a couple of nickel, dime and quarter boxes, too. Darn it. Jim |

Or something like it. Seems to be happening a lot more these days unfortunately. I had a customer stop in last week with a bunch of BU wheats. Quite a few 45-S and one was really a blazer. He found them in a box from the bank. |
