A buddy of mine told me he got 3 wheats in change at a C store and sees a till full of wheats. He bought them all and asked the owner if there were any more. The owner gave him a roll of the same type the wheats came from and when opened they have 49 wheats and an IH!
He said it was a 1909.
I saw him this morning and he showed me the pennies - all common dates. There were about 70 total.

I almost fell over when he showed me the IH - BU Red!!!
I told him to carefully put it back - alone and protect it on the way home. He had no idea how valuable it is in that condition.

He found out which bank they came from. I'll have to pay them a visit Monday!
Beer is my currency.

Sounds like a sweet score! Did you check that IH for an S mint mark, that would make it worth A LOT!

Talk about being at the right place at the right time!!!!
You are right that find is UNREAL.
(But it enriches my hope of encountering similar good fortune.)

PS - Let us know if an "S" appears on the back.
There's profit if you melt things!!

No S.
It's so nice I will encourage him to have it slabbed.
