  Not bad. 1958s aren't exactly easy (or hard) to find either. 1944, 1945, 1956-D, 1957-D seem to be the easiest.

  You should see my intro thread
  
  and Budget, you're right, I was thinking 1959 - I have plenty of those! lol
  but point being, its easier to find a 40's and 50's Wheatie than one from the 30's.

  Very cool, love finding wheats in circulation. If you want some real fun, get a box of $50 in cents from your bank. Last one I looked through had about 25 wheats and one 1907 Indian Head cent!!

  Finding an indian in $25 worth of pennies is a major find.
  
  I read where a couple had searched ONE million pennies in 1958 and came up with a total of 35 indians.
  
  They say you can remember where you were when Kennedy was shot, pearl harbor bombed (for you seniors) etc etc......I vividly remember the day I found an 1894 IHC laying in the alley behind my house, when I was about 8. It had been run over, gouged and beaten up...but I FOUND it! I remember the heat of the alley on my bare feet, and the smell of the rosebush behind the neighbors house, when I took it over to show him.
  
  Funny how the little things stick in your head... and I cant remember what I had for dinner last night..

  I just dumped a whole bunch of wheaties into circulation yesterday. They were metal detector finds that were taking up space. Many of them were gritty from being in the ground but I'm sure they'll clean up nicely in olive oil. I just didn't have the time to mess with them, so they ended up in a Coinstar. $14 worth of pennies and probably half were Wheaties.

  I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.
  
  You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
