Message:: [QUOTE="BUSYEYE, post: 1138284, member: 28930"]So, in preperation for the weekend late night hours, I went to the bank to purchase some rolls. Once hubby went to work, gramps and kids to bed, I began to have a looksee on my rolls. One of the rolls had these wheat pennies. I was surprised,confused and a then a little upset...as I've come to appreciate the wheat cent. Anywhooo, they all look worn, and are all light in color. I seems to me they were washed or as some of you have posted...some high school or college kid used them for some kind of project or experiment or whatever. They date 1916, 1919, 1925, 1926, 1936, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 2-1945, one I cannot make out the date and the other is about a 1011, 12, or 17. Could be someone had them for a very long time just sitting somewhere under the sun maybe or some kid who just didnt get the possbile value. Well, as we see they have no hope of even[ATTACH]116595.vB[/ATTACH] the penny they otherwise would have been worth in better condition. Well, just thought I'd share. The 43 I'm keeping just to say... I have on[ATTACH]116594.vB[/ATTACH]e lol! Just really bugged me that somone could not appreciate it as much as a collector would. Guess they just dont have a clue in the brain.
