'22 no D Finishes My Wheats

[Chizzy]

She ain't pretty, but she finishes off a 57 year old quest...........a complete collection of Lincoln wheat cents!

She ain't gotta be pretty, just real! Congrats!

Have it slabbed!

Good job! Large cents next? Gary

Congratulations on the completion of your wheat collection. I have a lot of wheats and have been saving pre 1933 ones. A good hand full, but no 1922's.

Thanks, enamel. This last one was a toughie.

Not yet. If none of the grands or great grands get interested in this hobby (and Lord knows I've been trying to create a spark in them), I may consider it in the future.

Well Gary, my wife asked me a similar question, "What's next?" I'd like to just enjoy this for a minute or two. The closer we get to the spring PAN show in May, the clearer the goal will become.............

Thanks, NY! I sold off 5,000 a few years ago (common dates), but seem to have reacquired them........and then some!!

Congrats CHIZZY on your quest for completing the Lincoln set, a long long time in coming.

Congratulations on completing your quest. I should be so lucky.
Were these all found bank roll hunting? Or did you have to acquire a couple at shows?

Thanks, Dozer! Sure looks good opening up that Dansco book and not seeing any holes!!

Thank you, Pete. I was fortunate enough to find all but 3 in pocket change over the years. I had to spend some of my dirt fishin' money on the '14D (2 years ago from a local coin shop), the '09 VDB S (last spring at the PAN show) and this '22 no D (from the PA CONECA rep). So, these last 3 were purchased with other peoples' money!!

Thanks Chizzy and congrats again.
Always better with OPM!
