Well folks, I bought a bag of 2500 wheats on Ebay, from a seller that I've purchased from before. Anyays, I didnt count how many (i dont have a counter) but here are the notable/odd finds: -roughly 80 BU/AU - earliest 1939 (mostly from the late 50's) -upgraded some early dates, 1914, 1920, 1933, etc. -low BU 1955, doubling on the last 5. -3 possible errors (strike through, thin planchet) -and one cud-look-a-like (looks like someone tried to add some copper on...?) non wheats: -10 Memorials (early 60's) -2 Canadian Cents -1 Australian Cent Anyways, it was fun searching, and took a few hours. lol I cant imagine going through a 5000 count bag. I'll try to get some pictures up. I posted one in the error section.
pictures! I'll try to get a better one of this later: Think this is a cud? or someone screwing around? strike throughs? this too:
That 39 is a good one. You got through them faster than I could. That's why I don't really do a whole lot with wheats. Lots of work. lol. I do like errors though.
I don't do bags of wheats anymore after I used up ALL my luck on one find. But the last picture, the 1939 is a squashed 9 from a roll wrapping machine, post mint damage.
Well I know you're getting a few bags soon, so hey, bring them over, and for the right price I will lol.
The 1955 cent shows die deterioration doubling ("poorman's doubled die"). The 1935 cent is covered with glue. The 1919 and 1939 cents show post-strike damage.
