Remember the other day the discussion
about bank tellers and about being friendly with them. It pays off!
Today, my normal bank run netted me $50 in Wheat
cents! I can hardly wait to bust them out and dig through them. I opened
two rolls at the bank and found a whole roll of steelies and another roll
had some teens in them. most of the rolls had dates written on them. I
think the first one I tear open will be the 1944-D roll and go from there.
Time to get my 30X microscope out! More of the
story will follow!

The other day I was lucky enough to again
"stumble into" a few more rolls of wheat cents at one of my local banks..........Opened
one roll to quickly scan (10x) what I was lucky enough to "stumble into"
BAM........Right off the bat, a really nice circulated
example of a 1953-D with a super example of a RPM (Repunched Mint Mark)Looks
great through the 30x cherry pickers microscope!..........Not only did
the roll give up this nice error, but also was mix dated from 1918 to 1958
with all of the mints being represented...P, D and S..................
The more I thought about this cache of new coins
to search, the more I started to think about what may be in those rolls
of wheats..........
The story continues..........I ended up finding
very few more errors, other than the clogged letters and date digits that
are pretty plentiful in wheats..........But I was surprised to find a 1911-D
and what I think may be a very worn out example of the 1917 doubled die..............I
also found two Indian Cents and believe it or not .....a 1935 corroded
Buffalo Nickel (wedged in the roll) and even a 1929 canadian cent!(I might
even need that one for my set! lol)
All probably worthless as far as time spent, but
it was an enjoyable evening searching through some old wheat cents.
The moral of this is....Be kind to your tellers....They
see
money everyday and if they know you are interested in coins they tend to
think of you when they run across such items....Be Kind to your tellers!
