    My 1909-VDB, saved from an original roll in 1909 by Marion, Ohio banker Leroy D. Zachman, whose great-grandson Josh (@kazuma78) gave it to me.

    So the pedigree of this coin is now 112 years old.

    Leroy D. Zachman, 1909
    His heirs
    His great-grandson
    Me, 2020 (I submitted it to PCGS).​

    Found this one in a bulk bag of Wheaties in 2006.

    Paid a little less than a nickel for it, as such.

    Sold it for around $700, after PCGS graded it XF40.

    Probably my second-best cherrypick of all time.

    (I know, I keep posting it in various threads, but wouldn't you?) ;)

    How many have you dug? I've found at least two VDBs. Maybe three. (All Philly, of course.)

    @lordmarcovan
    Mostly IHC's as the major of my hunting has been around old ( 18th and 19th century) cellar holes and fields . All my "wheaties" in my collection have been given to me years ago .

    Those are very nice Sal! I have a bunch of wheat pennies but my boyfriend is in bed so I really don't wanna be turning on a bunch of lights so I can photograph them...think that might upset him! Otherwise, this is the perfect category! By the way, you're quite the night owl, aren't you?

    Lots of neat coins. I guess I need to take a look at the rolls of wheat-ears that I have, but I'm sure there are no 09 vdb versions. I do have one stored that I found a few years ago.

    I found this coin roll hunting. It has a scratch but I love it anyway.

    A very nice keepsake, a great memento, a generous gift by the man's great grandson.
