My Wheat Penny Collection

[Rhubarb]

Hello, I am new to this Forum but not new to Metal Detecting. I have been MD for 2 yrs.

MD has added a new hobby for me. I like to collect Wheat Cents and Lincoln Cents. I have over 400 roll's of Wheat Cent's dating from 1940-1958 Here is my collection.

Great collection, Rhubarb. Any more and your going to want to reinforce that top shelf

My collection is up to 15 (Wheats, not Rolls); won't be passing you any time soon.

Welcome to TN, too

No wonder wheats are scarce! Great collection rhubarb. How do you keep them from rolling off the shelf?

The photo is only of 1950 to 58. If I put the 40's on it the floor would collapse. I have tilted the front up to keep the coin's from rolling out.

This is a good hobby collecting penny's and coin's. The kid's look thru my pocket change now. If anyone need's any just ask.

Very impressive collection. But I got a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind.

1)Are these from metal detecting or pocket change from pre-1959 or purchases or how did you get the bulk of these wheaties?

2)Have you checked them thoroughly (prior to rolling them up) for some choice dates, error coins, etc? You could potentially have some worth big bucks if you check them carefully with a good coin book in hand.

Well, whether you read this post or not, I must say you got quite a nice horde of wheats there, congratulations.
