View Full Version : The Wheat Exchange: Search My Wheats
I was wondering if anyone wanted to start a wheat exchange. I'll send you some of my Wheats I searched and you search them and tell me what I missed. It's just a way to double check and brush up on my search techniques. Let me know if your interested and I'll send you some to search.
Just PM me your address and how many of them you can handle. You must also be able to provide photos to the forum of my missed finds.

Looked over my cents no 46 Invert S. :( I hope it was because it wasnt in there and not because i missed it I looked each coin over I have to send you an email this week of the interesting finds i did find. But it was fun to do this and hope to get to do this again sometime.
Pat you should stick this thread if you want

I believe I have the '46...also mainly because it did not show up otherwise.... I've been a little behind on searching but I'm still trying to get through as many as I can!
Well what was the overall verdict.. I know Atarian you purchased some that you found. Part of the Wheat Exchange is too also share what you found. :)

I will work on posting some pictures of what i found. Some of the best finds were coins not of the die chip variety but I will be posting both the chipped and non chipped cents.
The short list for me were:
57P die chip
48D die gouge ( i think)
1909 in G (no vdb)
1928D polished
die chips were
1916p
53p
54s
56p57p
57d and a 58d
some pictures coming. the 1916 die chip is hard to show due to wear. But Ive concluded it has to be a die chip cause the top ledge of E in CENT is too large to be from damage or wear. just a big ole old chunk that wore down with the coin over many decades ( with makes it all the more cooler i think).

Ill get pictures of the 09 later on I hope i didnt put in with the 23 lbs of wheats . I know i did the 28D but also wanted to say I did get 2 coins for my regular dansco book a 36Dand 39S. Also put together a nice 41 Macro S and micro S set from this. I love this , I hope it happens again this is fun and never know what u will find ALSO i have some other coins i need to photograph that might be interesting for a learning tool. TO BE POSTED SOON :)thanks again PAT.
