    Nice! I actually just got done sorting out my Wheats and tossed the 30's 40's and 50's that I didn't need into my change jar ready to be taken to the bank next week. Hopefully some kid will find them and enjoy them. They were mostly "S" mints too.

    More likely a penny searcher will find 'em and hoard 'em. I think a few of the lots I've found in rolls were placed there intentionally, but I just can't bring myself to toss them back out there.

    Yeah it was pretty hard for me to let them go. They'll definitely be missed.

    Back OT, I'm trying to put together a set as well, but from circulation. Tracking my progress and posting up when I find a hole filler in this thread;

    What coins do you need to finish it off?

    I still have a lot of holes missing. I''ve got everything 37 and later. Anything older than that and I have a lot of empty slots. I had a great grandfather who passed who hoarded wheats but I haven't been able to obtain his collection yet. When I do however quite a few of my empty holes will be filled. Most of the coins that I have missing are 10's and 20's denvers and sanfransisco's. I have most of the phillies.

    I hear you on that, it's nearly impossible to find those old D's and S's. I get pumped whenever I find one, which is maybe once every couple weeks if I do 3-4 boxes a week.
