1914-D Wheat Cent to start the new year!

[C&RHunter]

For Northwest Missouri, It’s unusually nice for this time of year. So I took advantage of the nice weather yesterday, Jan. 5, and got out with the Manticore for about 4 hours. I'm still in the learning mode with my new Manticore, but I do like it a lot. I went to an area now being farmed but was a small NW Missouri town years ago. The sidewalks have been removed for the farming operation and where they had been is where I concentrated my detecting. It really paid off, even though my total keeper count was not impressive at all (total was: 2 wheaties, 3 nickels, a gold plated drop from a necklace, and a Missouri tax token.) However, as luck had it, 2 of the nickels were Buffalo nickels, 1916-D and 1936-D, and the third nickel was an 1867 Shield nickel, without rays. For the Wheaties, one was a 1920-D and the other wheatie turned out to be my best find for a long time, maybe ever. It turned out to be a rare 1914-D. Even though the keeper number was down and I did not find any silver, the 1914-D Wheat cent put things over the top for me. I did not check any dates until after I got back home, so what a nice surprise it was!

I actually went back today. It was 62 degrees out, so I had to take advantage of the weather. All I came away with today was 4 nickels. A 1900 Liberty, a no date Buffalo, and two Jeffersons, a 1941 and a 1994. I don't know how the newer nickel got there. Anyway, I think I've got the Manticore dialed in on nickels. Still no silver, but it will come. As they say, "If you don't walk over it you can't find it.

It is pretty good, not as good as the 1920 wheatie, but I am definitely not complaining.

 

[still looking 52]

How much is that 1914D worth?

Man those are some nice finds these days.
Hopefully I'm as lucky when I finally get out.
