<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 289572, member: 9866"]Well, that would probably not be worth it. I roll search, and I'm lucky if the ratio is 1 in 200 for wheats. In fact, just today, I finished looking through another 79 rolls of cents and found only 4 wheats. The most I've found so far is 18 wheats in a box (50 rolls), the oldest being 1918. I suggest you just go to a bank near you and search rolls of your own country's coinage for older examples, and buy the wheats from a dealer. Most can be purchased for 3 or 4 cents in VF-XF grades, or about 15 cents for the 50's lower BU grades. There are many common dates, and a few rare ones, the rarest of which being the 1909 S VDB, which sells for about 700 USD, or something like 350 GBP (sorry, I don't know the current exchange rate). Even when you take into consideration the key dates, the series is actually pretty affordable. I hope you begin a collection, and if you do, good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
