Message:: [QUOTE="Vroomer2, post: 167802, member: 80251"]A little over a month ago, I went to my local coin shop. However, I remembered, as I pulled up, "Crap! he's closed on Mondays" and it being a Monday, I was just going to turn around in the parking lot. However, the door was opened and someone was taking in a lot of stuff. I walked into an estate being appraised by my dealer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  O Find of finds! They had just finished going through US Mint sets in the Mint's original mailers as I walked in. (So for your Postal fanatics, you could see the price of postage through the years.) Anway, after the estate was appraised and done, there were 25 rolls of Wheat Cents that were now for sale. I promptly purchased them for $1 each. Because they had not been searched by my dealer and were directly from the estate.  Now, over 4 weeks later, I have a pile of 1940's wheat cents, a LARGER pile of 1950's Wheat Cents, and about 5 rolls worth of 1959 and 1960 Cents. The oldest coins were three 1919 cents. I have been tempted to see what PCGS or NCG would charge to grade 1250 cents... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
