As I said here on the forums my wife work at Macdonalds as manager ! She once on while bring Holme a silver quarter ,dime or a Buffalo nickel but on the last month I trainned her to look out also for wheat cents so she started to bring holme some wheaties . Today I picked her up at work and she told me " I have a surprise for you !" . I was expecting a 1964 quarter or dime maybe a War Nickel then she handed to me 2 S&S pwr's that she bought from Macdonalds as she had to open a box of cents for change and she checked the ends for wheatie back IHC etc , and I though uh!? Nice honey so you found 2 rolls with wheat in the end ? But she answers " no, only one have wheatie on the end, I brought 2 just to complete a dollar but the one have wheties in both ends !" I was excited for realize she's really roll searching as she all ready cherrypick the old ,foreign and odd coins since long time ! I searched about 200 penny boxes and never found a roll with Wheat penny in both ends my self so I was really surprised and told her about the seeded coin rolls people advertise and sell on ebay etc but that was a real one coming from A bank box ! Very exciting surprise .    Edited by Ricardocody

Almost impossible to be a solid wheat roll because the wrap looks recent new but still wheaties in both ends is odd plus both showing the reverse just like in a ebay item prescription ! Think about the chances of that during the wraping process ! Edited by Ricardocody

We expect a detailed report of how many wheat backs you find, with a break down by decade, mint mark, and grade.   just kidding, but you could start a contest to see who guesses how many wheat backs actually are in that roll. To start this off, I am guessing 17 out of 50 are wheat backs.  |

I'm guessing the two ends are the only wheats, but I'm hoping you get a nice surprise and find more inside.

Well if you find any with that fat old ugly turkey on them that were minted in the mid to late 1850's let me know. I'll do you a favor and give 50 cents a peice for them and maybe throw in a buck or too for your troubles.  ...........Tell you wife nice find Bro. |

I'm thinking the darker coin is gonna be a pre-1941... It just has the look to it... I bet There are 3 wheats in the roll... 1956-P, 1936, and 1944... Still nice, btw! |
