Message:: [QUOTE="ajm229, post: 152570, member: 3350"]Well, I didn't think it would ever be done, and I have to admit I'm kind of sad because of it, but I sold all of my duplicate wheat cents today. Yeah, I know, I figured on just hoarding them away until I died, but nevertheless, I did actually get rid of them. I just can't keep them here at home, and they're too hard to haul up to college and try to store there. I ended up with a very large quantity of them (well, for me, anyways) - 1,584 wheats, including 2 1909-p's, several teens and twenties, and a vast majority of the rest in the 40's and 50's. The good news about this is that my good friend Sean's birthday is coming up, and since he is a major civil war buff, I bought him a nice Civil War-era note (1861 $2 North Carolina, printed on reverse of $1,000 cancelled note) with the money I received from the cents. So, it goes to a good cause. And I suppose that's merely incentive for me to start going through more boxes of cents again! I can't help from feeling sad at having finally given them up.... I've had some of them for upwards of ten years now....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> AJM[/QUOTE]
