Pic's of the 31-s I found last night. Hope they show up well. All lettering on both sides is bold. The wheat stalks are full and all the reeds along the top of the stalks are present.

Most excellent find. Primo indeed.

Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

| Great find!! Its hard enough to find an old wheat in circulation, not to mention a key date, and then to top it off its not just a filler coin, its a great looking coin. |

| Great find- congrats! |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

| We should set this as a banner opposed to a 1927 Canadian penny, shows what one could find sorting. |

| FYI, there is going to be an auction coming up this week near me. One of the items is a 1931-S cent graded as "Fine". The opening bid on the advance sheet lists it for $98.00. It also lists a value of $111.00. If I can, I'll get a good look at it and maybe take a photo of it and tell you what it ultimately sells for. |

| The auction near me for the 31 S cent happened last night. It too was not bad looking like this one. The bidding opened with $98 & that is what it fetched: $98. So u probably have a $100 coin there. Congrats! |

Thanks for the info.
10,000% return on investment is great. Heck I'll bet even Bernie Madoff couldn't come close to that, or maybe "HE" could. |
