Yesterday's adventures

I started out yesterday afternoon by selling my hoard of wheat cents. Not a half hour later I got a '47 wheat cent in my change from a cup of coffee. I'm already starting on my next hoard. I decided to hit up some banks for halves before picking up my box of nickels. At the second bank I stopped in, the teller had a silver quarter('64-D) in her tray. When I asked her about it she said that she had set it aside for someone like me. Yay! Well six banks later, all I had to show for it was that quarter and $30 in clad halves. Better than nothing and my first silver quarter in over a year. I got my box of nickels and went through it with better than expected results; an '86-S Proof, a '50, and a '44-P war nickel. I also found a penny on the ground. A pretty good day.

Re: Yesterday's adventures

Congratulations on your finds !! You did better than me. I must have gone to at least 10 banks yesterday looking for halves and was only to find 8, all of them clad. After tiring, went and picked up a box nickels which yielded two buffaloes, a 1930 with 3/4 horn and another partial date buffalo, a 1944P war nickel and a 2006S. Pretty good nickel box. HH

Good job on the quarter and nickels,congratulations. Just curious, how many wheats did you have? How did you sell them, auction, coin dealer or list them somewhere?

I sold 370 rolls (18,500 wheats) to a guy who lives in my area who sells coins on the internet.

For how much did you sell it? and how long ito took you to hoard so many wheats?

I got $750 for everything. I've been collecting wheats for about 30 years now.
