Wheat cent obsession.

Idk what it is about the cent, particularly the wheat cent that I am obsessed about, but...

You should get an album and start filling it. That's always fun.

 

I haven't met a wheat that I tossed back. Sitting on several thousand found through CRH over the last almost decade. Not sure what to do with them all! Glad to see I'm not alone

 

Slight clip?

 

would have to see a photo of the edge to make a determination on being an incomplete planchet. It looks to straight, but there are some like that.

About the best I could get with this cheap phone, my bad

 

It could be. Hang on to it . Best I can do with photos provided.

 

This my friend is a "Wheat Cent Hoard". The person was trying to
amass 10 million of them. There are several dozen other hoards
around the country that have 1 million+ wheaties. I've been putting
my small 30+ thousand hoard into circulation the last few years.

 

There is no amount of support groups that can help this. Ik my collection was modest at best, but wow...

 

That's just ridiculous

 

I mean, I'm very small time on a meager budget.. wow.

 

I love the two coin tubes laying on top in the second image. Yeah, you're gonna need a few more.

Sheesh, if he got to 10 million that's $100k sitting in your garage. And then what? I guess nobody will steal it.

 

That's not an obsession, that's a mild affinity . . .

If there is an engineer on this forum, could they answer a question for me?How do you put so many coins into a plastic garbage can, like the one shown, and not have the can break apart from mass and weight of the coins? I realize that those are the heavy duty plastic cans, but I would think that they would split apart. I'm not talking about moving them around 30 feet, just them sitting there. A bag of 5000 wheat cents weighs 35 lbs. There has to be 30+bags in one can. That's at least 1 ton of wheaties. That's got to be a lot of pressure even on that heavy duty can. Just asking.
