Whoopie! A New Wheat!

Here's a quick coin update (a good one too!) ...

6,640 quarters produced seven Canadians and one UK 10 pence. In the mix was a new quarter for me too, the 2010P Grand Canyon.

5,100 dimes yielded three silver dimes (1944, 1946, 1958D), ten Canadians and two US pennies.

4,640 nickels turned up twelve Canadians (3 Ni), one Bahamas 5¢ and a Guatemala 10¢. Plus there was a semi-key Jefferson, the 1951S, in there.

Best of all was 10,950 pennies rounded up two hundred ninety-one Wheats, sixty-six Canadians, nine US dimes, one Bahamas 1¢ and one Mexican 5¢ (1959). That's more Wheats than my trip to California produced where I searched about six times as much and better yet this time I found a new Wheat, the 1932D! Only 10,500,000 were minted. This is the first new Wheat I've found in over a year. Most of the Wheats I found came from about ten rolls from the same customer and were so-so condition 40's and 50's Wheats. The 1932D was just in some random customer roll with just a Canadian also in it. I now have nineteen Wheat varieties to go. The following chart shows them:

1938-S	15,180,000
1912-D	10,411,000
1922-D	7,160,000
1913-S	6,101,000
1910-S	6,045,000
1915-S	4,833,000
1926-S	4,550,000

The Wheat breakdown from this week is:

1919, 1920, 1929, 1930, 1932D, 1934, 1935(3), 1937, 1938(2), 1939, 1940(14), 1941(12), 1941D, 1942(10), 1942S, 1944(24), 1944D(2), 1944S, 1945(19), 1946(19), 1946D, 1946S, 1947(4), 1947D(2), 1948(3), 1949(6), 1949D(2), 1950(7), 1950D, 1950S, 1951(6), 1951D(5), 1952(10), 1952D(8), 1953(7), 1953D(11), 1954, 1954D(5), 1955(24), 1955D(3), 1956(9), 1956D(19), 1957(5), 1957D(22), 1958(4), 1958D(8)

(With the above breakdown you can see that even a big find of Wheats produces very few pre-1940 Wheats and that D and S mint marked Wheats are very under represented here in the Northeast.)

Found: 4 pennies, 2 dimes, 1 quarter
