Your Rarest Wheatie??

I got bored and just went through all of my wheaties. I found 3 or 4 that I missed before when I was going through and putting them in one of my Whitman albums, so that made me happy. I just wanted to start a new thread which I thought would be intresting. Which is your rarest wheatie, mintage wise? In other words, which wheatie that you have in your collection has the lowest mintage numbers?

Mine would be the 1938 D penny, with roughly 20 Million minted!

A 1909 S VDB! lol, j/k. I don't have one. But I do have some with some nice mintages, all I found in rolls that I bought from a dealer. My top three are:

1931 19,396,000

1933 14,360,000

1915 29,090,970

Phoenix

 

1914-d vg-8 1,193,000

 

1924-D VF 30 mintage of 2,520,000.

 

1909-S VDB lowest regular Mintage of 484,000

1922 (Plain) unknown mintage (definitely much less)

ERROR/ Overdate - 1956-D/S Wheatie. Extremely Rare probably R5.

 

my 09-s vdb xf-45 raw

 

1909-S VDB 484,000 minted

1931-S 866,000 minted

 

Mine would also be a 1909-S VDB in VF. I guess if you count such things as RPM's then I have an 1958S/S/S that is said to have a "mintage" of under 100.

Is that 09 VDB a proof? I can't determine it on older coins, but it sure is awesome! Very nice! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Mintage wise, 1931-S(2), Rarity wise 1914-D, then 1909-S. Don't have an S-VDB though

 

Those are nice pics! How do you do that? My digital won't get any closer than 18mm so I can't get a lot of detail. I have to use the Digital Blue Microscope and it doesn't have a lot of detail either except very, very close up.

 

1911 in similar shape to the 1909s above

 

i'd say my 1923S.

 

My 1909-VDB is nice... I get all my Wheaties from working retail :-D

 

I've never paid more than 1 cent for one (i.e. they're all from circulation) so I don't have any great VDBs etc. Anyways, my best is probably my 1910-S in close to EF condition (Red Book lists it at $14-28 depending on condition)

 

Wow, you guys have some really awesome wheaties! Its fun nowing tha youhave a coin that only a limited umber of people have! There arent even enough of some of them for everybody in America to have one!

 

I've got one too, NGC XF-45

 

I have an AU 1909 VDB. Not very valuable, but it's nice to have the VDB.

 

1955 Double Die about 20,000
