How often do you find 2009 Pennies in a box?

1959 is not a wheatie - close, but no cigar

Also, the first penny I found with my metal detector.
 
There is one '59 Wheatie known, but PCGS won't slab it (but they can't say it's fake either).
 
I respect your logic
 
I read the Story about the 59 wheatback reverse baddbluff some new york police officer I think it was bought it off a guy for $800 back in the 60's or 70's Maybe my story is mixed up, and he sent it to the Mint or something and they couldnt clarify if it was genuine or not, however if they would of deemed it not genuine they would of not sent it back to him and would of destroyed it. I could see it happening. Someone forgetting to switch out the wheat with the memorial reverse die back in 59. Would be an ultimate piece, like the 43 copper and 44 steel.
