<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kookoox10, post: 1424424, member: 31129&quot;]So I challenged myself to see how badly searched dealer overstock is, and curiously bought (2) 5000 count canvas bags of wheat cents from two dealers.&nbsp; These are coins sold to them by people who just needed the extra money and were selling other coins.&nbsp; Both are dealers here in California.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the results.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bag 1 - Purchased @ .05 cents each.</p><p><br /></p><p>5129 Total Wheats</p><p>41 copper lincoln memorials</p><p>102 steel cents (varying mintmarks &amp; grades)</p><p>31 Higher Grade Reds &amp; or Red/Browns (Mostly fifties, one 1949 in beautiful shape with lots of luster)</p><p>2x 1909&#039;s no VDB</p><p>1x 1910-s</p><p>2x 1913-s</p><p>4x 1915-s</p><p>3x 1915-d</p><p>1x 1922-d</p><p>3x 1926-s</p><p>10x 1928-s (4 Large &quot;S&quot; Mintmark Variety)</p><p>1x 1928-s RPM</p><p>2x 1933-d</p><p>2x 1955-d RPM (1 in a 65 RD)</p><p>Total Teens: 285</p><p>Total Twenties: 178</p><p>Total Thirties: 520</p><p><br /></p><p>Bag 2- Purchased @ .04 cents ea.</p><p><br /></p><p>5023 Total Wheats</p><p>No Lincoln Mems.</p><p>271 Steel Cents</p><p>7 Higher Grade Reds &amp; or Red/Browns</p><p>2x Indian Cents (lowball grades)</p><p>38x 1909&#039;s (25x non-VDB)</p><p>2x 1910-s</p><p>1x 1913-s</p><p>2x 1915-s</p><p>2x 1915-d</p><p>Tons of 17,18,19 s&amp;d&#039;s </p><p>1x 1924-d (obverse scratches, real shame)</p><p>4x 1923-s</p><p>16x 1928-s (3 Large &quot;S&quot; Mintmark Variety)</p><p>1x 1944 d/s</p><p>1x 1956-d RPM</p><p>Total teens: 1125</p><p>Total Twenties: 632</p><p>Total Thirties: 688</p><p><br /></p><p>So what does this conclude?&nbsp; That these bags are not completely searched out.&nbsp; I&#039;m also surprised how much semi key dates can be found, the fact I found 40 1909&#039;s speaks volumes in itself. I&#039;ll be out to buy a couple more bags this week and will post the results of those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
