awesome post I got another box monday and didn't have time to check till today, and I found 20 wheats 2 of which are 1919 wheat, and a 1914 wheat and an uncirculated 1957 D wheat. I double checked three time to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Care to fill in a newb on just what a "close" and "wide" AM cent is? I've kept every wheat I've ever come across just cause they're different than the Lincoln's I grew up with.....Are there any wheat pennies that are worth anything decent??

I brought my cent coin book up to the local coin shop a few months ago and told him that I was ready to start buying some of the ones that I still needed to finish it. I got it from a trash job I did where the guy was just throwing it away and I think he had all of his real good coins stored in single containers because it was only missing the real money coins. I have filled a few of the spaces and kept all of the Wheaties that I have found but the real good ones have been hard finds for me. The LCS guy took a look at my book and said he had just gotten in a whole roll of 1914D's and he began looking through them. He found one and said I can let you have this one for 50 dollars and I told him I wasn't really thinking about spending that much money and that maybe I would just keep looking for a while. The best coin I have ever found CRH was a capped die cent where Lincoln's face is just barely visible, the same LCS guy offered me 35 dollars for it when I showed it to him. Another coin shop said it was worth somewhere between 65-100. I haven't been doing many cents lately but the right date/mm or error can surly be decent especially with what you have invested.
