I picked up a $50 bag of cents on Tuesday. A bunch of the rolls had Wheat showing on the ends. I found 98 Wheat cents total.

It was quantity and not quality. 36 in the 40s and 62 in the 50s, nothing older than 1940. There were also 26 Canadian, oldest was 1943 and the newest 2006.

While I was looking for errors I found a 1995 with a fairly long die crack.

It runs from the top above the W to behind the ear. I'm guessing it's not worth much but still the first real die crack I've found.

Very nice photo's, I'm not big into die cracks to give you much info, but it's a coin I'd hold on to. Nice score on the wheaties. not a bad total.

Thanks everybody. I do save all the Canadian coins I find. I've got a bunch and would like to get a folder for them. I wish my eyes were good enough to see a die crack on a cent without help. I was checking it under a microscope and saw the crack.
