I'm not sure if anyone ever posts a "State of the Collection" topic but I like the idea so here is where I am with my quest to complete a Wheat centset.

Take care all! |

Very nice progress for one month Timmy! You can see my roll searched set in Bad Thad's lincoln post, and also my Canadian from U.S. circulation finds.

I would like to question you on that 1943... Where and from whom? Cooperate and I cut your sentence down to community service.  |

Wow that is a remarkable jump from circulation, especially all the pre-1940s. Surprised you didn't get 1944 P yet, that one was my most common one from circulation, followed by 56, 57, 58

I've found every Philly coin up until the 1930's in circulation so far... it's the D's and S's that are proving very challenging, which is only compounded by my proximity to Philadelphia. Got the full set from 1938 and on, though, now just a matter of filling out the earlier dates. I doubt I'll ever find the major rarities in circulation, though.

1914 is a tough date even to find in a bag. The higher grade ciculated examples are finally starting to show this with their values popping way up ahead of a lot of the other early P mint cents. That one probably surprises me the most out of that list.

I'm guess the reason I am finding mostly P mint marks
Is due to the volume prodeced there. Are there any other
Reasons? Proximity etc?

Proximity definitely matters. About 75% of what I look at is Philly minted, and I live about 30 minutes max from the mint.

Pretty amazing you found those over such a short period. Agree with Chuck, the 1914 is a suprizing find....then so is the 1910.
Eventually, you'll be forced into buying to fill holes. Searching only get you so far.
Good Luck!

That is really good for $200 searched.My list is a little longer with a few more S-mints, but I've been through $1200. Good to hear what coppercoins said about the 1914 as I found one too...but think I may have sent it to another member already...ah well.

you're doing great for such a short time. I'm two years into my 09-40 set in "Good" with some "fines" mixed in.
I'm missing the expensive ones. 09svdb, 09s, 10s, 11s, 12d, 12s,13s,13d,14d,14s,15s(my next buy),22d, 24d, 26s, 31d & 31s.
Roll searching has been hit and miss for early dates, no 43 yet but I have a bunch of them from my f I l collection.
I did find a 18 road kill in the parking lot where I work last week.I wonder how that got there?
good luck with the continuing search.

Davest did you put the road kill into your set if you had a hole there? Or do you generally toss out rough coins even if there is a hole in your set in hopes one in better condition will pop up? I keep the bad ones until I find a better one
