BU Pre 50 wheat contest

[flyhi3]

Hi everyone! I hope your evening is going great! Since simmon recently had a worn coin contest, I thought I'd do the opposite and have a BU contest. Here are the rules:

1. All wheats from before 1950 are eligible, although I would like to seee all wheats, just that pre 50 BUs are less common.

2.Actually, that is the only rule i think.

There is no prize, just glorry!

Thank you all,

Alex

Very Nice Casey, But your picture scared the crap out of me. You need to warn me before you show up like that.

Remember Your only as strong as the one beside you.

Very nice ones Ken, I like the 21.

Thanks for not spooking me with your pic like Casey did.:bigsmile:

James

[flyhi3]

WOW! Thank everyone, this is fun!

Alex

[SuddenAdoration]

Wow very nice wheats everyone!

[papascoins]

Casey, was that 1916 a 'mercury' penny? I have one like this. I tried cleaning it, but it keeps toning to a light green, like silver. I think mine is a 1919S.

I was told it was probably solder. Though i never tested anything.

[papascoins]

Thanks. I'll have to send you a pic of mine. (thought I had a silver planchet for a minute!) But you can see where someone scratched it deep enough to expose the copper underneath.

These coins on this thread are fantastic!! Do they have to be from a find? Or a purchase is okay?

A purchase is fine, and in fact, anything is fine as long as the coin belongs to you.

[pman860507]

Mine are purchases. Mostly from.my coin dealer who can grade so I get them for a few bucks.
