<p>[QUOTE="Steve BEaudry, post: 2142241, member: 74511"]Hello DIlly,</p><p>I don't think I have 100,000 like cylii (that would be $1,000 face value) and a lot of good copper. I started collecting in 2nd grade, Mr. Savage's class, and she would send us to the cafeteria every afternoon (this was 1961, the year before President Kennedy was assassinated, and every roll was wheat backs. We pulled out the Indians and 1930's, the steel pennies, etc. and got hooked. I bought about 10 "unsearched " wheat bags (50,000 pennies total) in the 70's and was very impressed with a few of them. I pulled a maximum of ten rolls of every date and mint mark, found an uncirculated roll of 1937-P and started Collecting mint rolls from the bank in the 80's. That was a little disappointing, since I look back at all the Mint State clad coins I put away in the 80's and they are all horribly spotted. I'll bet I have 75-80,000 wheaties all sorted by date. I built a whole room to hold them all. My "first string" set of 09-39 is only missing the SVDB and 14-D, and is about one third UNC. I'd say about all of my first 40-59 set are Uncirculated. I love them, as I see you do. I had a coin shop in Texas for four years and amassed a huge amount of foreign coins, and hope to put my grandson through college with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
