2007 Cent Search Results

Collecting an entire set of Lincolns from rolls/circulation would truly be a magnificent feat!!!

I've been collecting a set of Lincolns, mostly from pocket change, since about 1981. I have been unable to find only five -- not unsurprizingly the 1909-S, 1909-S VDB, 14-D, and 22 plain.

You've done far, far more searching than I ever did -- I mostly just searched pocket change. My father's and grandparents when I was young, and my own since...

Recently, I kind of gave up hope that I would ever complete the set through pocket change, so I now share with you a photograph of one of the ones I've recently (gasp) purchased to "fill the hole":



Here's hoping you are successful where I failed. :thumb:

Happy hunting!!!...Mike

Congratulations on your finds.
I can't believe that you found a 1931 S!!!!!
And some of those other dates are pretty scarce.
Good luck.

 

Thanks for the response- gives me hope that I might find some of the really tough ones, like the '31-S Frank mentioned. That's a nice looking 1914-D!

 

I know this thread is old, but just out of curiosity, did any of the wheats include the steel cents. Given all foreign coins I've found that are magnetic, I figured its still possble to complete the second volume of the lincoln cents entirely from circulation.

 

Very impressive to say the least !! My wife found a 1925 in VF this week, we went thru $50 and will do $50 a week from now on.

 

Somewhat related, but not really -- I managed to buy five rolls of wheat cents tonight.

1 roll each of:

1930-35
1943 (steel)
1945
1954
1958

From a rather unlikely source -- 7-Eleven. So I went out for a walk with my dogs, and stopped by 7-Eleven on our way home. I went to 7-Eleven for two reasons -- to buy a Spicy Bite, and to get a couple rolls of pennies. After I paid, got my change and a couple rolls of hand-rolled pennies, I noticed a wheat in the "take a penny, leave a penny" bin, and traded a penny I had in my change for it (noticed it was a '62). As I was leaving and untying the dogs, the gentleman behind me says: "Hey, I found a '56 -- want it?" I take it.

As we're walking home, I wonder how much of a coincidence it is to have a couple '56 pennies in the same drawer, but think nothing of it -- chance! I get home and look at the rolls I just bought, and they're marked "Wt. St. 1954" and "Wt. St. 1958" (no idea what St. stands for). I get somewhat excited and head back down to 7-Eleven, where the guy has three remaining rolls, and I trade him a few rolls of 2007 BU pennies, and buy whatever was left in the register (mostly '53 pennies).

Granted, no exciting errors, no rare or key dates, but hey, it was still fun. Not sure what I'm going to do with so many of the same dates, however..

 

I have found around 6 total steel wheat cents out of 600,000 cents searched. In fact I did just finish the 2nd volume of cents from circulation, with the find of a 1955-S. The steel wheaties are in really rough shape, though.

 

Nice finds!

 

Thanks! I wish you good luck in your searches.

 

Does anyone know where I can find an image of the wide AM for the 2000 cent. I would like to look for these but do not know what ot look for.

This may not be the best example, but take a look at any penny from before 1992 and that's about what the wide AM would look like.

Hold a 1991 penny up next to a 2000 penny and you will see the difference in spacing between the AM.

 

Possibly "straight" since they were solid date rolls. Straight can be used as a synonym for all. So Wt St 1954 means Wheat, all 1954.

 

Ah.. interesting. Thanks for the tidbit Conder!

 

vwap,

Wt. St. stands for Wheat Stalk!


Frank

 

Ah. Works both ways, I suppose

Awesome. Thanks Frank!
