[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1094197, member: 26972"]There are 5k bags that come up all the time, that while they have been searched for keys, they typically haven't been searched for varieties. Be patient and look for casual listings, seller who don't normally sell coins. Antiques shops are my favorite, be prepared to go to about $250 - others know what I know. I bought quite a few as part of an investigative/learning thing to figure out what I had. I could dip into a huge hoard I have had for a long time for you. While I am sure that my dad and his dad pulled the keys and steel - I have spotted semi- keys.. they are unsearched for varieties. roughly 80% 40 & 50's - 20% 09 to 39 I can't guarantee that you won't find the svdb, 14d, 31s - however just due to the odds based on mintage figures you would need a 100,000 wheats before one would turn up in an unsearched lot anyhow. Best of luck.. Buy a bag - separate by date & m/m - print out all the top 100 lists and have a go at it. It's a great training exercise if for nothing else! JMHO[/QUOTE]
