I stopped by my local coinstar with my granddaughter tonight...and also checked in with our friendly service counter clerk to see if there were anymore coins to be had. He did not disappoint. I was able to add a couple more dates to my wheat back collection....new ones were a 1917, 1919 d mint, and a 1924 out of the pile.... there was a 1955 Una Peso with Franco that caught my eye...a first for me... Thanks for viewing! :)

Wow! Count your blessings for that counter clerk. Most would buy them up and tell nobody.

What are the chances a 28 wheatback would be left in that spot?! Congratulations 👍
You've got sharp eyes. :)
