Way to go! It's been a good run for realcent recently between my VDB and this 31-s!

Damn! The new guys are finding all the good stuff lately.

Well, I just brought home $80 in cwr's from the credit union. Maybe a little something will jump out tonight.

Absolutely Amazing!! Beginning more than fifty years ago when I was a kid looking through pennies (and they were all Wheaties back then) until now, I never found a 1931-S... Fantastic find!!!

[Shifty51]

Thanks guys! I haven't been at this for very long and while I knew this was a rare coin I didn't realize how rare. I'm learning more and more how rare a find this is. A guy I work with has been collecting for 40 years and I can't convince him I found it in circulation, he also said has never found one and has had to buy the ones that he does have. I feel fortunate to have found it in circulation.

Congrats! These stories keep me motivated to keep searching.

We bought the one we have.

Nice find, that is really cool.
So who is going to find the 1914-d and 1922 no mint ?
There are some nice coins being found. Keep it up.

I actually had a dream in the last week or so... that I found a 14D. The dream was that specific... Weird, huh?

So-wheat score...I know it can happen...

So who is going to find the 1914-d and 1922 no mint ?

I found a 1922 no D last October in a pile of Ryedale rejects.

We could piece together a nice set just from our finds! Who found the 1909S? How about a 55DD?
