Holy crap! You made me look, and it sure does! Honestly, hope I dont sound like an elitists dick...but I dont like finding wheatys. Usually throw them in the change jar bound for coinstar. Now I gotta go find where I put that! Thanks for pointing it out, guess I will look carefully for now on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Look at GB Amateurs thread: "Unusual Coin Find " (Long Post) before you toss your next wheat! His his quite a find!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Don't fret too much if you can't find it, as that is a pretty common strike error, if it is indeed an error. Based upon the found condition of the coin it doesn't really change the collectable value. But a wheat is a wheat, and casually throwing it in coin star does seem like sacrilege to a coin collector, despite their minimal collectable value as they are dated items nearly 100 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check the date, bout it. Rather keep room for relics and older coins...if you detect long enough, you end up with thousands of wheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Tell me about it. But I like to give them to kids to get them interested in detecting or coin collecting. Yeah, adult collectors would turn their noses up at them but kids holding a 100 year old coin gets them thinking (though in today’s age of electronics, perhaps not as exciting as when I found my first toasted IHP at a swap meet when I was 9 or 10 years old which started me collecting, I suppose). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
