What's the most common date wheat you find

For me it has always seemed to be the 1956 wheat. Even if i only find 14 wheats about 3 or 4 would be 1956. Is it the same for guys too.

1944 for rolls and detecting for me too. Went out detecting last weekend, found 73 coins, 1 wheat it was '44. Went through $100 in rolls, didn't count them but '44 was a clear majority.

I wish I kept better stats.

Wow never though I would get such a huge response. Also I find it strange cherryman that 1947 would be your most common. I belive out of all the 1940's that year had the lowest mintage. When i first started it took me a while to find it. Many of the common dates everyone has listed mainly 1957d and 1946 are also ones I see all too common. I distincly remember there being a time where strangly I did not find a single 58' wheat for several weeks not that I wanted to anyway.

1957D - 452
1956D - 424
1958D - 393
1952D - 272
1955D - 219
1944 - 214
1953D - 212
1945 - 184
1951D - 181

That's a big drop from 452 to 181. The 1956 - 1958 D series are my top three, although 1944 is pretty respectable at 214. :-)

Re: What's the most common date wheat you find

I dont keep great stats on this but i have been sorting my wheats and I would have to say 1944, I have about 30 solid date rolls of 1944 so far.
