In the process of updating... I'm sawing through over 2 months worth of finds... And meanwhile I remembered I had found a few that I hadn't yet reported. I was digging through a friend's penny jar the other day and found 4 wheats. Two were pre-40! 1929, 1938. |

- We now have over 1400 Lincolns reported. - Three dates have over 100 reported: 1936, 1937, 1939. I think 1939 was the first to top the century mark. - We're down to 9 missing from our "group set." Should still be able to find a 1921S, with a mintage of over 15.2 million. Then maybe a 1932D. After that, who knows if we'll find the others. Anything's possible, I guess. |

I've tried my best to make this readable... to correctly line up the columns... but anyway, here are the low-mintage coins, and all those who have reported finding them. Seems a bit odd that we've found a dozen coins with mintages under 10 million, but still haven't found the 1921S with a mintage of over 15 million.

I think it's nice to have this thread as an actual gauge of a coin's relative rarity... I bet this group has found literally hundreds of thousands of wheats this year, and now we know that we'll probably find about 3000 pre-40 wheats by year's end. So whereas the original mintage figures are pretty good indicators of a coin's overall rarity, we are moving toward having a nice indicator of a coin's "rarity-in-circulation."
Here's another stat for you... 09-19 finds: 366 20-29 finds: 349 30-39 finds: 702
Okay, one more... If these finds were dumped together, we have 8 coins with "full rolls" TWO ROLLS DONE: 1939... 126 1937... 110 1936... 108 ONE ROLL DONE: 1935... 72 1920... 69 1919... 64 1934... 57 1918... 52 closing in on a full roll: 1929... 49 1930... 47 |

Got a 1938 last night in a box that yeilded 45 wheats. Best box I have had so far. |
