Wheats wheats wheats...

       As you all know I collect coins. I do collect all American coins, BUT I love wheat cents, (or pennies either will do, but the actual term is cent, it changed in the late 1700's shortly after we got our independence. And it went from pennys British, to cents American, but the name penny stuck.) ok any way! I collect them and have alot, and I mean alot I have around 250 wheats. And I now buy them by the roll. I also have some very cool older cents such as a 1860 Indian Head Penny I mean Cent.

Cool, Gavin! I'd like to see your collection when Uncle Rich and I come at Christmas.

We should compare collections, Gavin. I collected Lincoln cents when I was in high school and had almost a complete set, ending in the 1960s when I stopped doing it. My best one is a 1914D in very good condition, and I also have a 1909S and a 1924S in not so good condition. I'm curious about what they're worth now, although I wouldn't think of selling them.
