    I know we had a similar thread going not too long ago, but I was unable to find it.
    I've been putting off logging all of my CRH wheats that I've found, but I finally got to it this morning.
    Here are the dates/MMs that have turned up for me the most
    9.1948 (10)
    T7.1955 (11)
    T7.1942 (11)
    6.1941 (12)
    5.1945 (13)
    T3.1956D (16)
    T3.1957D (16)
    T1.1944 (17)
    T1.1946 (17)

    Out here on the East Coast only 11 of the 260 wheaties I've found roll hunting since July have been S mints. Oddly enough 3 of those were 1950S, compared to just 2 1950 and 2 1950D.
    The toughest decade for me has been the '20s with just 4 coins found.

    If you have any wheat cent data feel free to post here.

    My last update was 9/30/2016... 396 wheats found with 87 of them being S mints:

    1. 1956-D: 39
    2. 1957-D: 38
    3. 1958-D: 30
    4: 1952-D: 21
    5. 1944: 19
    6. 1944-S: 14
    T7. 1945-D: 12
    T7: 1955-D: 12
    T9: 1945: 10
    T9: 1951-S: 10
    T9: 1953-D: 10

    Like you, the 20s are the hardest decade, with only 5 of my coins (1920-S, 1926 -2, 1929 -2) coming from it.

    One other side note... I found my third 1919-S today... making it the most common pre-1940 coin I have found! I am going to try and update my cent stats this month (too busy last month)... The perks of living on the West coast!

    Good stuff. You got a pic of that 1889 IHC? And when did you find it?

    Gotta be a rush finding a 19th century coin, earliest I've found in a roll this year were a 1916 and 1916D

    Indeed!!! Finding a 1909 VDB was quite the rush too!
