<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onecenter, post: 221641, member: 8703&quot;]In the last decade, I am lucky to have found possibly 25-30 wheat cents in circulation.&nbsp; It has been my experience that what I used to call &quot;one centers&quot; as a little boy have been virtually non-existant in the channels of commerce for many, many years.&nbsp; If you purchase rolls or bags of cents, their tannish color usually makes them stand out in the crowd.&nbsp; Out of the first coins I received as a beginning collector at age 9, I was given a 1945S wheat cent to start me on my way in 1969.&nbsp; Since that time, I have found every date in circulation.&nbsp; Several hundred rolls of solid dates and mintmarks later, I still love finding my favorite coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The centennial of the Lincoln cent in 2009 should be a boon to the collecting of cents nationwide.&nbsp; Collector interest in pre-Statehood quarters has been very vibrant and has piqued much interest.&nbsp; The same has occurred to Jefferson nickels issued prior to 2004.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mark</p><p>Coral Springs, FL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
