Hey y'all

Nothing spectacular I thought until I saw tha the 1931-s was a semi key date. Cool

Way to go on the semi-key wheat. Well done.
Tootsie Toys were way cool back then. Just dug one today myself. :thumbsup:
Congrats,

A couple of years ago i was going through some of my dug wheats, and discovered i had a 1931-S. I usually don't look at my wheaties real carefully IMG_1152.JPG

I know for a fact that I have at least a dozen 1912-D dug cents. When I first started hunting in 1960, I would roll my wheats by decade, 1909 thru 1919 in one roll, 1920 thru 1929 in another, etc etc. I got so many 1912-D's that I was putting them in a roll all by themselves. I also have many, many "S" wheats in the teens. That will be a winter project.....opening and re-rolling all 196 + rolls of wheats:BangHead:.......nge
