Today may be my single greatest find to date. And it's not even Silver. I went into a bank and showed some of my buddies the nice AU 1958-D Wheat I had pulled from a Penny box about 2 days ago. To which the girl said they had a lot of them. It turns out, someone's Dad died and the clueless heir cashed in 70 Wheats 1940 and earlier into the bank. As much as we all love Silver, there's more to CRHing than just Silver.
Complete Breakdown. When I say all of a year, I mean one each of Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. The fact that there are no duplicates in 70 coins shows just how much of a collector this dead man was:
1909
1909 VDB
1910
1911-S
1911
1912
1912-D

1931
1932

1934-D
All 1935-1940
My coin shop quoted me at $50 for the entire set. What would you do with the Wheats? Try to sell for the right price online, or keep and build up your own Lincoln Penny collection?
Both sides of the AU Wheat I showed the bank.
4 Silvers in 3 Dime Boxes. 1942-D, 1946-D, 1950-D, 1961-D
