Popular Post Zincoln Posted April 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2023 I've started to conclude that SF must have sent the shipment of 1.8M 1909s wheat pennies to Oregon:-) No doubt many of the early SF coins were shipped to Oregon, Washington, Idaho and NV. Only have found one 1909 without a mint mark. Added the 3rd 1909s wheat to my collection, and the second in the last month. Been unlucky in that many of my 10s or 13s coins have really been quite clean, but the 09s coins have all suffered a bit in our soil. It's no beauty, but still fun to pull a key date. 16 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22361-2nd-1909s-wheat-in-a-month/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geologyhound Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Nice! The only 1909S I ever found was at an old school on the southern Oregon coast. It wasn’t in very good condition either… 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22361-2nd-1909s-wheat-in-a-month/#findComment-239636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 You can't magic marker a VDB on that baby? ? What a nice coin! Any S mint mark on early wheats is a great find. Now you need the S Indians. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22361-2nd-1909s-wheat-in-a-month/#findComment-239639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pulled one 08s IHC in very nice shape...still waiting on the 09s. Posted it on the coin cleaning thread. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/22361-2nd-1909s-wheat-in-a-month/#findComment-239671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much draw on the Southern Oregon coast if you aren't from around the area, other than Hwy 101, the Rouge River and some pretty good looking countryside! Born and raised on the central Oregon coast myself.

Geologyhound Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Born in the valley, raised in Coos County, OSU grad (go Beavers!), married and moved to Ohio. Still have a bunch of Madras thunder eggs and Rabbit Basin sun stones as well as some Holly blue. So, I still have a bit of Oregon with me.?

I never used to get much further south than Tenmile myself. Funny, I've spent a lot of time roaming around Lakeview, Rabbit basin/Plush and FrenchGlen. Not a whole lot out there but fresh air and open space! Ticks and Rattlesnakes seem to thin out the herd?
