From the nickels 2 1963 1 1964 1 1957 1 1946D 8 bison, no spears From the wheaties 5 steelies PD&S S appears to be a proof, but not sure, gorgeous with nice rainbow toning. 30+ S mints, most in XF+ 1919D VERY NICE would grade AU...but hey that's me. 1909 VG 1910 VG+ and the best one 1931S VG+ Overall, I'm happy with my 5 bucks spent. Glad I gave his wheaties a trial run, the 100 I bought were a VERY nice mixture with only 4 or 5 duplicates. Jasn
Update: I may have found a 1944 D/D D/S also...grrr I need a stronger magnifier. I have compared it to the other 7 1944 D wheaties I have and there is something def. funky with the mint mark. will let ya know Jasn
Simius_Dei: "From the wheaties 5 steelies PD&S S appears to be a proof, but not sure, gorgeous with nice rainbow toning." Most likely not a proof, especially since none were made. Most likely chemically altered, coated with mercury, or just plain polished or plated.
cool, thanx for the info. It's a nice coin either way and has some awesome machine doubling going on on the date.
nice finds! so you got a $30 coin out of the wheat cent rolls!? i wonder why the dealer put that in there? did you buy the nickels from him too or the bank?
Nickels from the bank. He claimed that the dumped the wheaties as people brought them to him. He just scoops them out of a huge box he has. I actually believe now that he may not cherry pick them. (though I'm sure he scans for unpassable stuff 55 DDO's and such) Jasn
