Holes in my Wheats.

[jeff of pa]

The other night I got to Thinking, by now I must have a complete collection of Wheats by date.

WRONG I'v got Holes

After going through my finds I HAVE

1909, 1909 V.D.B. , 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915,

1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922. 1923,

1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933,

Great start to a nice collection!!

I read on this forum how some go to the bank and get rolled coins....so I did that and out of 8 rolls of pennies, I got 4 wheaties...one was a 1909 VDB!!! And it's in pretty good darn condition too! I was so excited. Now I need the 1909S VDB, that's the bucks!!! The oldest wheat I had was a 1917. Then I have a 1926, 1934, 1936 and from 1939 to 1958, one for every year (missing some mints, but will get those in time) ... so I am working on getting a complete set too, with all the mints for each year.

I was going to Check my Mints for this also, but I have biig holes in those.
I have more D's then S's but still alot missing there.

Congrats on the V.D.B. in the Roll , That's Cool.

Thanks!!

Yea, I have no prob with the D's, as you can see what I have in the D Mint: 1942, 1944, 1949, 1950 (have 2), 1951 (have 6), 1952 (have 4), 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956 (have 2), 1957 (have 5) and 1958 (have 4)

These are the only ones with the S mint are: 1940, 1941, 1946 (have 2)

Everything else is P mint.

Hey...watch for the 1982 Dime...some were missing the P Mint. Also the 1955 Penny and the 1995 Penny, some were double die. I'm keeping my eye out for these

Think for a while, I will just buy penny rolls..... Got some dimes, nickels, quarters and half dollars....nothing

What's is this thing, VDB?

Cyn

On the Bottom Reverse of the 1909 Only.

Victor D. Brenner had his Initials.
in 1910 it was removed & placed under Lincolns Shoulder.

Not all 1909's have the V.D.B.

Here is the 1909 VDB I found in the 8 rolls of pennies I got from the bank. I enlarged the VDB ... hopefully you can see it Now, on to the hunt for the 1909S VDB.....
