It's nice to see that there other "wheaties" collector's on the Forum. I found two in my change just in the last month. My favorites are the 1943 steel cents, and the 1944 to 1946 cartridge case cents. Some people collect gold Krugerrands. I collect pennies. That should give you an idea of where I stand, economically speaking. I started collecting while working my way through college at an ice cream and sandwich shop. My manager allowed me to buy wheat pennies, Mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, Franklin half dollars, etc., from the cash drawer, and I continued to collect interesting coins when I worked part-time at a country club.
