Now that will ruin your Silver to Wheat ratio real fast. Still a very welcomed recovery. Congrats John on digging a full Coin Purse. Trapper

That's a really cool find!! You would think out of 33 coins in a coin purse you would have got some silvers.

Congrats on a really awesome find! I'd love to find a small change purse filled with coins like that someday.

Man that hurts. I know the feeling though. I have also come across a coin purse full of wheats and only wheats. 50 total in my purse. Quite a let down for what it could be and for how few times one detectorist might find something like this. But a great find still not many will have. I posted mine here if you want to check it out. Good luck to you in the future.

Nice find. I see you have a 1955 D wheat penny. Some of those were double struck and very valuable.

When I was about 6 years old I got a 55 D double die as change. I thought it was interesting, but put it in my pocket and later spent it. Really wish I'd kept it as its worth a lot now!

33 cents back in 1955 would have around the same purchasing power of 3 dollars today.
Thinking that was probably a kid’s coin purse. Cool find!

That's awesome. I've seen a lot of people find coin purses but their usually empty. Nice save.
