Nice...

I just love wheat cents. The design is so elegant. I have a bajillion of them and tons of "s" mint wheaties. Okay, I don't really have a bajillion or a ton, but I have heaps of 'em!

They hold up well over the years, don't they?

 

I'm going through a bucket of S mint now.i grew up on a farm and ranch so finding so many wheats is cool.I don't have a bajilion yet of usa and canada.so I'm buying hoards of canada pennies too.cheap way to accumulate untold riches.lol .I only have a half of a ton now.always looking for more.lol

 

Find any good ones then if you have time organize and put them in rolls.

 

Yes not sure what to put each roll.Maybe a few of each year.

 

I've lived my whole life on the East coast, so it's always been a big deal for me when I find an S-mint coin in circulation. The YN inside me still does cartwheels when I see a pile of them, even the ones I know aren't rare.

 

1914D, 1909s VDB, 1910s, 1911s, 1912s, 1914s, 1915s, 1931s, 1922D, 1924D, 1926s

 

I have no idea why I like your avatar so much

 

I am afraid I don't understand the fascination with wheaties. They're everywhere and I think they have a very boring design. I have a lot of them, and I don't have any desire to get more. As a collector, I consider them as just another coin. As one who appreciates history and design, they hold no appeal for me.

 

I think it's more that they're old and affordable (except for the keydates) more-so than design... I'm just collecting wheaties so I can get every date in the best condition I can

 

what about their chocolatey goodness

What about their chocolatey goodness

 

When I started collecting as a child, they were the first coin that was within reach (could be found at face value, could be accumulated on a 50-cent-per-week allowance). That kind of early experience leaves traces.

 

I have gallons of cents, but seldom see a wheatie. What area do you live in?

 

I have 26 pounds of "Wheaties" to search.

 

I have seen where people put wheat cents of the same year in one roll.

 

Canada

 

If you purchase wheat cents from western states, you are likely to get them. Sometimes you can search for and find sales of "s" mint wheat cents. Happy hunting.

 

I still receive Canadian coins here in Idaho. Mostly pennies and quarters

 

When I went through 20 rolls of quarters around a year ago I found 5 silver canadians one was a proof.

 

Why thank you very much. It was meant to be a little portrait of my Mom (may she rest in peace -- she died almost 2 years ago to the day) the way she looked back in the early 60's. Mom never, however, wore her hair that way! But how does one (who doesn't really know how to draw) depict a French roll when drawing a facing Mommy?
