OK, finishing up a $25 box of pennies that has given me a record 47 wheats. Out of those, only 7 from 40's and 1-39, the rest are 50s. So, I grab the last 2 rolls out of the box and this is what I see. My question is, would you just keep the rolls intact for the hell of it and store them, or go ahead and sort them ?

I should add, that there's nothing special on the other ends

Put them on Ebay and make $20

lol, I was actually thinking the same thing, figured i'd get at least 3 a roll. Never know where Willie Wonka's golden 1909 might show up!

ill give you 3 a roll if you want it.but if it were me id bust 'em open.

RIP!

Rip 'em! You only go around once!

KSA them here!

I've found a few of these. I always intend to keep them but within a few days I always rip em

I don't know how you managed to keep them intact this long...if I see a roll showing a wheat, I am cracking it open ASAP to see the loot!

The KSA is a good idea!

RIP

RIP

They would have already been opened if it were me, no questions asked.

I would certainly be tempted to rip them open.

I had a roll like that tonight. I immediately ripped it open. It was a 1944 D and the only wheat in the roll. Congrats on finding so many wheats.

Definitely, Rip them open!

ok, thank for the replies folks! Though the KSA does intrigue me, I think I'm going to go ahead and rip them. I'll do it tomorrow and update the results. to many Michelobs now to mess with them. Theyd end up on the floor. I have to admit, I just thought it was cool that the chances of them showing up as ends on modern rolls. I'm sure some of you old school sorters have seen it plenty, but, that's just the rookie in me.

OK, just opened rolls.

First roll With Wheat back showing:

Wheat back was 1955D
1957D was in roll
plus 9 coppers

Roll 2, whith 195 Head showing:
Head was 1951D

also in roll was 1909!! Plain though. My heart was still pounding nontheless!

15 more coppers.

There ya have it folks!

1909! Sweet find (even though you said it was plain)

sometimes your gut is a good instinct to follow.

Aren't you glad you ripped it?!

Nice find, good little haul there!

If your coin miraculously grows an "S' and a "VDB" let me know and you can join my club.

Congrats,
