wheaties

[deacon_frost]

Was at caseys awhile back and recieved a wheat penny in my change, I noticed an old looking penny roll on top of the register so i asked " hey do you have anymore that look like this?" guess somebody got ahold of grandpas coin collection. nothing great but a pretty cool start of a day

Nice score Brian! If I were you I'd go back and try to see about getting whatever else was spent there if you think there might be more. I doubt that a 50 cent roll of pennies was the total spent (what costs only 50 cents nowadays, heh), so there may be more rolls of wheaties to be had. Perhaps even some silver as well.

A good many years ago when my Grandmother passed away I ended up with an old Partridge one gallon lard bucket completely full of wheat pennies . I have never looked at any of them , shoved the bucket under the bed and forgot about it . I guess it is still there lol .

Cool finds. Hope to get more of those this year myself. Hope you find some keeper dates.

i love finding wheat pennies. Like the look to them and they're not a zincoln! fun to check out cointrackers and about.com on scarcity and pricing.
nice haul.
