wheat penny chart by mintages

Postby toomuchcopper » Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:31 am

At one point there was a chart, or maybe a list, That showed all the wheat pennies by mintages, by year. It then was broken into decades and had allotments for environmental factors of loss. The chart in the end allowed you to see how many coins of each decade should theoretically be in a 5000 count bag of "unsearched" wheats. I remember some conversation as to the chart not being accurate and whatnot but it still was a basis, or starting point if you will.
Does anyone else remember this? or have a link to it?
It may have been somewhere else I saw it but I am thinking it was here.

I believe Market Harmony had a spreadsheet and posted a jpg file showing the data he collected.

I think this is what you were looking for.

although market's chart was a great guide on what they made + what should still be out there.

So the real question is who is going to find the one remaining 1909 S VDB left in circulation. Good luck everyone!

According to that chart, there is $1.29 in copper pennies circulating per American. Anybody else here feeling guilty about taking more than our fair share?

After looking at the chart, it would seem as though finding a 1909-S VDB would nearly be impossible. Has anyone ever found one in the wild?

I found one in the wild about six months ago. It had some sort of soft metal on the back, It must have been in a ring so that scared me. However the next morning I took it to my friend at a local coin shop. Because of the metal on the back his $500 offer was accepted immediately. Looking back I wish I had posted it here.
