[QUOTE="jetshack, post: 450462, member: 11725"]Just for giggles I ran some numbers During the 1950's - ~9.3 billion cents were produced 1940's ~10.5 billion cents were produced 1930's ~2.2 billion cents were produced 1920's ~1.6 billion cents were produced 09-1910's ~2.1 billion cents were produced This means there were approximately 25.7 billion total wheat cents produced. Breaking this down into percentages of the total amount 40's and 50's = make up ~77% of the total 30's = make up ~8% of the total 20's = make up ~6% of the total 09-10's = make up ~8% of the total (distribute the missing 1% how you wish) Looking back through what I've roll searched through it surprised me how close these numbers match what I've found. Roughly 4 out or every 5 are dated from the 40's or 50's About 3 out of every 20 are dated from the 30's About 1 out of every 20 is dated from 09-20's This makes sense as you would expect the older coins to be scarcer than their proportions. As I said Just for Fun...[/QUOTE]
