WHEATS! MEGA-SCORE!

[bnicholas26]

I go to a bank and ask for a box of pennies. He says no full boxes but he has 16 rolls of CWR's and can give me 34 MWR's. So I said ok, bought them and left. I open the first CWR....SOLID WHEATS.....AND THE NEXT AND THE NEXT. Managed to pull 11 wheats from the MWR's for a grand total of 811 wheat pennies!! Also got a 1912 Honduras 2 Centavo from this batch. (got plenty of 1910's, 20's, and 30's, no key-dates, but still filled a few holes in the book)

Wow! Congratulations! I recently got a box of pennies and there were 3 wrappers that had "M" written on them and one stamped 1970S. Of course I'm cussing this "M" guy in my head. I open them and it turns out they said "W"! Lol I had 3 full rolls of wheaties and a roll of beautiful, shiny 1970S pennies! I love hearing about other peoples awesome finds!

ANY small date 70s?

ANY small date 70s?

I really haven't gone through them. I'm scared of touching them because they're so pretty. I looked at a few and couldn't tell if they're large or small. The man at the coin shop I go to offered to check them for me but I keep forgetting to take them with me when I go.

I have posted about the small date several times. I have also put up some pictures. The easiest way I have found to tell is to look at the tail of the 9.

I'll get some gloves on and have another look. It almost doesn't even matter to me if they're lg or sm because I wouldn't sell them either way.

Ok, I definitely have some large and small dates. I took pictures of the pile but you can't even make out the date.
