I do and still have my blue Waltham album from the 60's. I need to get back into completeing that set. It brings back found memories.

AUandAG · January 15, 2007 9:50AM

I gave up too....can't see the dates without a glass anymore unless they are bright red and
brand new! Have a blue Whitman from the 60's as well and have it complete less the 09s vdb.
All the others I was able to find in circulation. I sure don't have much invested but will make
out when I get the nerve to sell it. It's my first collection so it will be hard to part with. Might
just leave it for the wife to put on E-bay (she's trained).

I do. I've been on the hunt for the perfect slider 1915-P for two years. It's not easy being picky.

<< Are they unsearched...lol. >>

good question, i purhcased this collection a few years ago from
someone who had bought out a flea market full of carded coins back in the 70's.

i know the person i got them from never searched them for anything special (other than possibly 55dd)
and i sure haven't.
so depending on how long cherrypicking has been going on i would say these are about as close
to unsearched as can be obtained anymore barring a hidden hoard appearing.

Aballein, if you feel like sharing the weath yourself, I still need the following dates for my own circulated lincolns collection if you don't need them yourself. I've got a whole mess of them from the 40s and 50s and some from earlier if you'd like to trade.

1931 S
1932
1932 D
1933

Cullenbryant, thanks alot for the 1964 Bluebook. You apparently have a good heart!

Nice gesture cullen.

Mustang5L5 · January 15, 2007 12:14PM

I collect wheats i find from circulation and occasional roll searches.

I don't have many though, only 1 coin tube full so far. Most are from the 40's and 50's but i di have a 1909. My next oldest is a '35 so i'm trying to find some from the teens, 20's and 30's.

Sure do still have an interest in circ. wheaties. I am now getting my two young daughters into collecting them. Always looking to add some to their books.

clw54 · January 15, 2007 12:33PM

<< Anyone still collect circulated wheat cents? >>

Yes, I have a complete set including the 1922 plain and two 1955 DDOs.

I've got a few of the dates you need. You can PM me your address and I will mail them to you. No 31S of course.

HEY! how'd you get one like that??! They offer training somewhere? What's it cost?

Don't tell anyone, but me and my 9 year old son spent 6 hrs. on Saturday loading up a couple of Harris Albums the Mint use to sell back around 2000 (I found tucked way in the back of a Barnes & Knoble). It was rainy and cold outside. *perfect* penny weather!

While I had to set up some Halogens on both sides of us + I had to give Danny the 6X to confirm my 10x spotting, it was a hell of a lot of fun.

We even found a couple of error coins, including a 1952 with this 'copper-turd' just under the 9 and 5, still stuck to the 9.

I have no doubt it is a die error. I will futz with a camera and try to up load tonight.

BTW, I HATE 1956-D'S

....oh and please don't tell any of the Platinum Boys I was here, OK?

PrivateCoinCollector · January 15, 2007 1:01PM

It was my first collection. Still have it 32 years later. it is real nice now, Just few of the teens and 20's not in Red.

COINB0Y · January 15, 2007 2:35PM

atom48coin · January 15, 2007 3:17PM

Yes, I collect them, too -- for my Dansco. I think I'm missing about 150 of them.

Anyone still collect circulated wheat cents?
