Taking care of your tellers sure helps!!! I went to the bank today and they said they had been saving something for me. A woman brought in some old cent rolls after her father passed and the teller even told her that she might want to look through them. She said she didn't have time and turned them in. I therefore bought all 31 rolls plus one rolls of nickels. The nickels were all 40s and 50s. I believe all of the cent rolls are wheat. I've only opened a couple so far and all were circulated and brown. Many of the others have written on the roll: 3 47, 7 48, 2 51, etc. The oldest note is a 27, but most appear to be in the 40s and 50s. Even if most are 40s and 50s and are not gems, 1550 wheat cents at face is not bad!! :eat: I'll post more when I look through them. My son wants to help so it will probably be this weekend.....but I had to tell someone! Bob
Because I had received some great help from the teller at this bank, I sent her manager a thank you note with gourmet brownies to present to declaring her to the best teller in town. They save everthing for me now. It pays to smooge!
I sorted through all of these wheaties by grouping them in dates and this is what I found: One roll of 60s and 70s cents. The rest were indeed wheats except for 2 50s canadian cents, and 4 other 60s cents. So, I got 1494 total wheats. All were well circulated. Most in the 50s and 40s (nearly evenly distributed), including 13 Steel 1943 cents (all have rust on them though ) Cents prior to that are as follows: 39d 39 38d 38 37s 37d 36d 4 36 35s 34d 34 30d 29 27d 27 20 2 1919 18 17d 17 16d 12 10 and 2 that I couldn't quite identify. One looks like 1913 and the other 1910 No great dates, but quite a few really nice ones. Plus, all those wheats for face. What a nice find!
What a find indeed bob! Why can't I ever get a find like this? LMAO! Glad you got some nice looking cents, and you are having fun searching through um'
Thanks Travis (and good to see ya!). Now, I have to look for error and DDs. I'm not familiar with what to look for in these older cents, that is why I grouped them in years. I have the Striking it Rich With Pocket Change book and will look in there and then start a searchin! Lookin forward to it. bob
