This Is What’s Next

I’ve completed a number of the folders I was working on. I have a couple more and they are close to being completed. So I took a look at what I have and asked myself, What’s next?

The answer was simple, to complete a cent folder with lower grade coins from 1909 to 1940. I have just over 5000 Wheat Ear Cents that I’ve had for over 12 years and never looked at a single one of them.

Yes it’s a lot to look through but it’s fun and I am a collector. I do hoard coins but that’s another subject. So here is my new folder and the only coin in it is a 1926 that my wife received in her change from buying something we probably didn’t need. I’ve had it about 2 months and I’ve just been waiting for the right time to use it. With my upcoming surgery, now is a good time to start plugging holes.

I have all the key and semi key dates in a slab and in much better condition than what I’ll be putting in here. I’m not a variety collector but I have some of the major varieties in this series.

Ultimate clickbait thread title.

Okay, almost ultimate.

 

How dare the wife out buying things she doesn't need when you could use that money for coins. I presume that 5000 number is not a typo. It really is 5000 isn't it?

 

But you clicked it. Lol

 

Yeah I have at least 5000 Wheat Cents so it’s time to go through them. I may even have more than that. Just like it says under my CT name, I’m definitely a Borderline Hoarder. Lol

 

I started one of these in the late 60’s-early 70’s. Finally plugged the last holes in the early 2000’s. I don’t show the book here because is is a humble teenager’s collection of wheat cents. Still have the book. Yeah, Dave… You need to fill that one.

 

1 down and 89 to go. Lol. I’m not buying any of them until I search all of my Wheat Cents. And I’ve got a ton of them. I was 5 years old when Memorial Cents started but I kept every Wheat I got my hands on.

 

This is exactly why I am not offering to send you any of the 12 rolls of wheat backs I just won at an obscure auction. LOL

Good luck on going through your stash. 1909 S VDB coming up.

 

I think you’re getting testy in your old age. LOL Glad you have a sense of humor like I do. Take care my friend.
