<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RiverGuy, post: 1197146, member: 22755&quot;]Greetings wheatpennyguy and welcome to CT. My experience might lead to some insight. I started my wheat collection a little more than 55 years ago. For two years - &#039;56 and &#039;57 - I searched 10k per week about 45 weeks per year. On fridays I bought 2 $50 bags of loose pennies that came out of my hometown&#039;s parking meters. I assembled a set in F-XF missing only the S-VDB, 22 plain and 55DD - remember the dates, I only searched wheats, mems. were not yet in production.</p><p>Over the last 10 yrs I decided to try an MS63 to 66 set. At first I only bought RED but I soon realized my budget would not be enough and I compromized to 64RB. To date I&#039;m only missing the 15-S,26-S, and 28-S. This endeavor has cost me just over 55K so far and there are a few I would really like to upgrade.&nbsp; All are NGC or PCGS slabbed and the date run &#039;34 - &#039;58 are all MS67.</p><p>The lesson here: be careful what you wish for - it can be expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
