Nice group. You going for the whole set?

 

Here's some more

 

Yeah, I might try for a full set, I've got about $60 worth of wheats left to go thru.

 

Nice toning on that 17!!

 

It has been awhile since I have found any wheat before about 1914, I think I found an '09 late in the fall.

 

You got a 1912-S in the bunch ?

 

Impressive!

 

Nope, haven't come across a 1912s yet.

 

I got an ugly one I'm looking to dump.

 

Nice. All I've found lately was a 1919-S.

 

Nice!

 

Where on earth did you manage to find coins like that? The last time I got such was when I was a youngster - and that was a long time ago.

 

Back 5 or 6 yrs ago there was a company that traveled across the upper mid west (I don't remember the name of it) that would run ads in local papers and set up in a motels and buy coins. I found them on ebay and bought 6 $25 bags of wheats and they've been sitting next to my safe all this time until recently I decided to go thru them.

 

here's $100 worth of wheats

 

did you find anything good?

 

I'm still going thru them, that $100 pile above is 4 of those bags that I'm ready to get started on.

2. Absolutely not
3. You should have started a new thread.

 

Did you pay $25 per bag, or where there $25 face value of cents in each bag?
