    1955S wheat from grocery store change!

    This is by far the best looking wheat cent I have ever run across from searching rolls or in change. It was in my change from the store a few days ago! Unfortunately not seeing a doubled eyelid or an RPM. It does have some bugs in the wheat stalks but probably not large enough to list.

    Especially nice for change.
    Is that a die chip in the B of PLURIBUS?

            Neat find. The little key date of folder #2 if you try filling from change.

              Thank you so much Cliff, Jon, Bob, Dearing and Ed! I'm sure the girl was confused when she handed me my change and I said... "Wow... you've got to be kidding me", it just blurted out of my mouth LOL... but when I flipped it over to see the wheat side she got it!

                  Nice Pull From Pocket Change (PFPC for Jon)... Reminds me of a song - Wheat Home Alabama Is that a wheat stem sawfly on the west stalk or a fairly nice RIDB???

                    Now that's a nice find in circulation! Looks like it had been tucked away for many years before someone spent it.

                        Thank you Jim, Mark and WaterSport Bob! I could look at wheats that look like this one all day long!

                        Jim, here are a few updated pics. What do you think about the size of the die chips? TSTL?

                        btw... I am still loving this light bulb! Since it's LED and stays cool, I can put my white gloves on the bulb without them getting hot and burning!!!

                          Nice follow up pics... Those may be just a tad to small??? Unfortunately I have problems visualizing square in metrics The difference between a square cm and mm does not always compute

                            Thank you Jim! I was thinking too small too, but I appreciate you confirming it!
