    1,134 wheat pennies

    Picked up more bulk wheat pennies from my favorite local gold buyer. 1,134 to be exact. I overpaid slightly ($46) because last time I bought rolled pennies from him I ended up making a killing because they were 100% unsearched. This time, they were all loose and they are seemingly less exciting. I am about 65% done going through them. So far I have pulled out almost 10% memorial cents, a few nickles, a few dimes, a toasted Indian penny, a handful of steel cents, an UNC 1909 VDB, a well worn 1922-D, a few 1909 cents, and a several assorted (very minor) semi-key dates. I will put up totals when it is all sorted out. Looks like 70% of it is going to be worthless later dates plus the 10% memorial cents but the rest is looking decent so far.

    I am fairly sure it is a standard 1922-D just very well worn overall.
