My Aunt passed away last year. I was just given this small Cache of Wheat Cents about an hour ago. The ones in the plastic bag appear to have been in a fire. My search for a Key Date starts now. Wish me luck! Any key dates I should immediately look for please let me know. Thanks and Happy Hunting !
Good luck and have fun sorting.... First sort according to decade. Then after a quick google search of key dates sort sorting further. I used an excel spreadsheet to document mine and then kept apart by decades. I've been going through about 2000+ wheat pennies my dad left me!
GOOD LUCK
I love one cent searching. I always have a $25.00 box around for idle moment (to loose my mind in). My copper hoard is filling up. I suggest magnifying at some point too. My eyes aren't what they used to be.
