I kid you not, a 1944-D MS wheat cent, full red, without the slightest
trace of a rub....from a roll search this past weekend!

Pretty cool, Alan! Wonder how that one got thru so many years 'without
the slightest trace of a rub'.

I'm left marveling as well. While this piece is sorta unique in my
experience, as a BU Wheatie from a roll search, I not infrequently find
1961's, 1962-D's, 1967's etc in identical condition. About two years
ago I was handed an entire roll of UNC. 1963-D's! You never know what
you'll find until you look.

Might be worth sending some those '60's Lincolns to PCGS. The prices on
those things in MS66+ grades are stupid high...

I've been trying to amass a MS66RD collection of Lincolns and it seems
much easier/cheaper to find the 40's Wheats than it is to get those
early Memorials.

As much as I love the serues, and even have been consulted by a buyer or
two, I am not such a hair-splitter as to try calling these anything but
the all-purpose BU. ;-) I'd be comfrtable describing a couple as
MS-63, withe the best examples going MS-64. But then, I'm a dimosaur
who regards MS-65 as the top of the scale anyway!

I'm jealous! Well, to some extent, anyway. I don't do the roll searches.
At least not yet. I just never seem to have enough time to search my own
coins, let alone get a bunch more from the bank. I have about 20lbs of
Wheaties that I've never looked thru! Some day.....

Would be fun to find BU coins from roll/bag searches, though! It's like
treasure hunting! ;-)

Yes, its exactly like treasure hunting! In addition to these
few-and-far-between stunners, I delight in the foreign coinage and the
odd error, blank, cud, chopmarked, and type varieties that surface.
Among *other* things, this past month saw me place into mylars a 1941
Canadian Cent, a 1924 wheatie, a 1960-D small date and a very lovely AU
1958 Jefferson Nickel. ;-)
