Default A different kind of coin hunt

A few days ago my wife gave me her childhood "piggy" bank and told me I could go coin hunting without even leaving the house! Inside there were More wheatbacks than you could shake a stick at, a bunch of early 70's Ike dollars, a handfull of 1960's Kenedy halves, a couple buffaloes 1 mercury dime plus some newer stuff her mom must have thrown in later. Cant wait to search through those wheats! hopefully some key dates in there!

Yep, all wheaties. There might be very few memorials still mixed in.
