10,000th Wheat Cent- statistics and more!

[goldencoin]

Hello everyone, I don't post much as I used to, but I've been searching pennies off and on since they first opened this forum- I've kept lots of statistics, so I'm sure everyone wants to know- Here's the breakdown:

Total searched, $17,950 in cents.
Average $/Wheat is $1.79/wheat.
Average $/Indian $854.76/Indian.

(The totals below includes wheat cents I've found in change and ones found in reject slots) Averages and date breakdowns can be skewed from finding solid rolls and the few dozens of wheats I've gotten outside of rolls. These have been collected over a period of 14 years, mostly from Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois.

Very interesting chart! I have allot of penny. I started to but them in bags by decade. But never finished that either. I got pretty excited when I found a 1914 s. Guess I'm saving them for when I retire.

 

[opee]

By the way thanks for sharing the details of your collection and chart!

 

[Dozer D]

Golden: nice stats that you kept, but I'm really shocked to see that you found a Flying Eagle. I bet you really got stoked on that one. I happened to be looking at my own wheats listings just last night, to decide to get back into grading the best-of-the-best for the grandkids folders etc. Just like you, I have thousands & thousands of year & mint marks to look through, they are just everywhere.

Thank you, here's the original post of when I found the flying eagle http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coin-roll-hunting/266983-1858-flying-eagle-cent.html

Golden: went back to look at the pics and read ALL the posts, all I can say is "You lucky duck", fantastic find and in good condition. I take my hat off to your trophy.

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Nice job on the informational chart...you have been busy!

I'm going to have to compare your finds to mine as to dates. See if there are any anomalies or if one of us found more or less of different ones.

I quit looking a few years ago, but may start again this coming year. I have 14,822 wheats right now. My most common is the same as yours. 1956D. I have 1039. ALso have 1,008 1957D and 944 1958D. You did better than I have in that yours are not as much of those three. I have 2 of the 1909 VDB whereas you found zero so far (I'm rooting for you to find at least one. ;-) ) Maybe it is because I am out west that I have so many of the 1956 - 1958 D's. I see that now. You have 1 1913D, and i have 1 1911D, 2 1912D, 2 1913D, 1 1914S and 5 1915D. But Philly mints you are doing better. 1941 I have 327. You have 330, and that is with almost 5,000 less cents. 1942 I have 259 and you have 253, also pretty good when you look at how many less you have overall. Okay, enough looking for now. I'll look later. But GOOD JOB, and I apprecaite the work you did to put it all in a chart that you could post.

 

[Uncleslick18]

Very nice. I’m also a cent nut, I don’t keep records as you do, for a couple of reasons.. very awesome find on the flying eagle. That was back around the time when I started lurking around on here, and to be honest, I think that post was one of the reasons I bought a reydale. Lol, anyhow, awesome stuff here. I have found 2 of the vdb’s as well, and a bunch of other goodies

 

[GCMOM]

Awesome!

 

[eman1000]

OK... So I'm a total Newb...How does this work? Do you go to the bank and ask to buy a box of pennies?

 

[Uncleslick18]

Yes that’s the first step. Or bags off of a bank/cu’s coin machine (if you’re lucky enough)
