<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 3164761, member: 88212"]Back in the stone age dealers in coin world and numismatic news would offer bags of circulated wheats. To make sure that you got a deal they would include either a 1909-s or a 1914-d. That would be in a 2x2 holder sealed in the bag. If the original purchaser left the bag intact you would have that at least going for you. When those bags show up at pawn shops they are frequently resold intact for $150 to $200. I have bought two of them still sealed and in both cases the "key date" bonus coin was either damaged or AG. The coins included were primarily from the 1940s and 1950s. Earlier coins were either damaged or extremely worn. Results may vary from the reports of other old timers. I'm just saying what I experienced. I've also been told that many of these flipped wheat bags are missing the "bonus" key date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
