<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eskychess, post: 226540, member: 4692&quot;]Searched a $50 bag of pennies today ....&nbsp; 240 Wheats!!! I broke my old record of 155 previously in 2005 (prearranged hordes don&#039;t count of course) Nearly 5% success rate! Not bad. Only sad part was, they were all WWII or post WWII ... Only thing that stood out was 1920 D - G, 1925 S - F, 1926 VG, 1927 D - VG:F, 1934 F ... Not so great. I did have a shocker - a 1944 D with one of the fours scraped off pretty good to resemble a 1914 D ... OH! I knew right away - but it did get my attention and I did substantiate the scratch with my loop. Oh so close!! I figured a scenario for the wheat horde like this. Someone&#039;s grandparent said 30 years ago, &quot;I&#039;m going to start saving all the wheats I get in my change - they&#039;ll be worth something someday.&quot; And that person most likely croaked, the kids, or grandkids got their hands on the pennies and off to the bank they went. You gotta love it if you collect coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
