Nice to get a find worth 100's of times face

Too bad it was a penny. lol. I found a 1931D. Redbook says in this condition it is worth about $5.00 so I guess $2-3 is probably more realistic? The low value stuff seems way high in redbook. The higher dollar stuff seems like its a bit more accurate. Anyway, I did 40 rolls tonight and found about 10 wheats with 1 from the 30's. Hopefully I'll find a few more in the last 10 rolls later this week.

'31d is a tough coin... I found one once in the penny tray at the cafe at Luxor in Las Vegas. Cashier gave it to me.

That's a nice find, my Wheat set is coming along slow as I'm pulling most of the coins from circulation, and I have nearly all the dates 1930 and later filled at this point, save for the '31-S.

Find a '99 WAM in MS63-64... that's a $400+ coin... 40,000 times face value, lol.
