I started taking “Wheaties” out of circulation in the late ‘60’s. Gave up on the SVDB but still yearned for a ‘55S.
I had so many wheat straw pennies that I was able to roll them up by year.
Sold some to a guy at work and he GAVE me a ‘55S, still shiny, Extra Fine condition.
Good stuff!
I have maybe 5-6 rolls of found-in-circulation cents, nothing worth getting graded, but nice to play with. (comprised of 1895-1955-ish examples.)
I do have killer sets of Peace Dollars & Standing Liberty quarters— those took me a long time to build up.
