As we near the halfway point of 2008, I'm nearing the halfway point in my wheat penny series search. The next new date I find will give me 70 out of a possible 140 varieties. Here's where you can join the fun!

Guess which [red]wheatie[/red] will be the 70th! ONE GUESS PER PERSON PLEASE! The winner will receive a 1976-S non-proof 40% silver half, found in a Vegas slot machine! Just to be sure there's no confusion, please specify P, D, S or VDB in your choice. Good luck!

Search #1 [$40] (5/7/08) - 1941-S (Small S), 1944, 1952-D, 1953-D, 1958D (2). Boooo! No winners this round. >:( Next search is probably Friday night. Anyone who hasn't made a guess yet can still do so.

#2 [$50] (5/9/08) - 1934, 1951-D, 1952-S, 1954-D, 1955-S, 1956-D, 1957-D and a 2001 with a religious cross design die cut thru it. I think GMan found one like this. Dang, no winner again! Leaving to go again within the hour. Hopefully today's the day...

#3 [$40] (5/10/08) - 1944, 1945-S, 1946-S, 1953, 1953-D (2), 1953-S...can you feel the suspense building, or is that frustration? ;D Better luck next time.

#4 [$40] (5/11/08) - 1946-S, 1949, 1950-D, 1955-D, 1956-D, 1957-D, 1958-D...still no winner. Stay tuned...

#5 [$50] (5/13/08) - 1945-S, 1946-S, 1948, 1953-D, 1955, 1958-D...no luck this time.

#6 [$40] (5/18/08) - [red]1933[/red], 1940-S, 1944, 1944-S (2), 1948, 1957-D, 1958-D...Wouldn't ya know it! My 70th wheatie variety ends up being a date no one picked, LOL! So here's what we'll do - I'll keep searching until someone's choice hits. Everyone's picks are still valid and anyone who hasn't chosen still can.

#7 [$35] (5/20/08) - 1927, 1929, 1946, 1952-D, 1953-S...Dang, hitting all around your choices! Hopefully it'll hit soon.

#8 [$40] (5/22/08) - 1927, 1940 (2), 1941, 1947, 1950, 1953-D...Getting closer, I can feel it!

#9 [$40] (5/25/08) - 1946-D, 1948-D, 1953-S, 1954-D, 1956-D, 1957-D (3)...Will a winner be found before June??

#10 [$40] (5/27/08) - 1917, [red]1937-S[/red], 1951-S, 1955-D, 1956-D, 1957...Search #10 gives up the winning wheatie! Congrats to [blue]kestrelia[/blue] on his pick of 1937-S. PM me Brian and I'll send you your 40%er. Thanks for playing everyone!!!

You're locked in!

Since most everyone has made a choice I'll probably go penny hunting tonight and see if we can find a winner. You stragglers have till about 11PM PST tonight to get your guesses in.

I wish I had kept track, SWUSC. I average $40-$50 a visit, 2 or 3 times a week, so somewhere north of $2,000.

Well Immy

Congrats on the 1933 which is really close to my pick "1935D" I'd have to say it the closest as a matter of fact, but it's your game..... LOL
Good luck with the search

I'd love to find a 1922-S, but it'll be kinda hard since they don't exist. ;D Guess again?

My bad, I meant 1922-D. I was thinking of a '44S. Hope you get one!!
