Found my first Wheatie at my new job today...
1934! (philly)
I was shocked that it wasnt from 1958... lol.
Anyways, Im pretty glad.
This is now my 2nd oldest cent I've found in circulation. The first one is a 1919.

<< <i>coolio. Welcome to the forum !! >>
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.

<< <i>Last one I looked through had about 25 wheats and one 1907 Indian Head cent!! >>
Thanks for the tip. I might just try that one as well. By the way MrMag!
So far working here has been fairly good to me
I hope my luck continues!
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..
any find is a good find these days

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
