<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4759321, member: 66"]The reason so many nicer later wheats are available can probably be traced to the pennyboards, the increase in coin collecting in the 30's, and Wayte Raymond. In the early years of the cent they were just cents. Something to be spent and only a relatively small number of them were ever put aside in MS. Withthe comming of the penny boards a great many more people started collecting and of course more MS coins were saved. Then around 1936 Wayte Raymond started the idea of putting back BU rolls for future collectors and for that time on a great many more collectors and dealers deliberately put back original bank wrapped rolls of uncirculated coins so today is it not that hard to locate nice MS coins from the mid 30's and later, but much tougher to find them from before the mid thirties. Some earlier rolls were found back then and put back, but by them most of the older original rolls had already been broken up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
