So, I finally started going through all the penny bags I picked up on my recent road trip and although I normally just post the results to the road trip thread, I thought this deserved special attention.
The first bag was going okay and then right near the bottom I started finding quite a few wheat pennies, many back to back to back.
So apparently someone dumped their small collection.
But the nicest of the bunch by far was found third to the last one.....a 1924-D (see pics below)
I say the grade would be around F-12 or so which according the my most recent Coin Values magazine dated Feb 2009 puts it at $70....not bad for a penny and although the road trip as decent otherwise...now it was well worth it.
Also it is the first 1924-D reported being found in this forum and brings the list of wheat pennies not found and posted in this forum to 3 (1909-S VDB, 1914-D, and 1931-S).
Ended up with
78 wheat pennies (1910, 1917, 1920, 1924-D, 1928, 1929-D, 1930, 1935, 1937, 1940(2), 1940-S, 1941(3), 1942(2), 1944, 1944-D(3), 1944-S, 1945(4), 1945-D(5), 1945-S, 1946(2), 1946-D(3), 1946-S, 1947-D, 1948(2), 1948-D, 1949(2), 1950(2), 1950-D(2), 1951-D(2), 1952-D(4), 1953, 1953-D(4), 1954-D(2), 1955-D(3), 1956-D(2), 1957-D(6), 1958-D(6))
