Nice going on the Wheaties. Man, that's a lot of pennies in that bucket. When I was in the military, I was stationed in Conrad Montana at a radar site. That was the coldest area I have ever lived in, but the ice fishing for those tasty yellow perch was fantastic. Took me 6 months to thaw out after I left. I need to start searching more pennies and maybe cut back a little in the half's.

Is that a 1922 plain?

If it had a mint mark it was rubbed smooth long ago. There is a lot of wear you can make out date but not very easy. wife took camera with her to her mothers (for visit) or I would post a picture.
