Found Key date 1931s Wheaty

[robez509]

Not exactly sure when we found this, but I know it was this year.

Due to short days and work, we can't get out on the field. So, we did the next best thing, catalog our wheaty finds.

Emptied a pile of about 50-60 and went thru them all with a list of key dates.

We sort of hit the jack pot.
Found a 1924d, 1926s and the famous 1931s.

The 1931s is in rough condition but I still love it.

Make sure and check your weaties and good luck!!!

Awesome Wheatie! You should give it a long soak in olive oil to bring out a few more details!

That's a real nice date to find. I've gone away from soaking in olive oil because it is organic and I'll spare the dissertation. I like 3 in 1 penetrating oil best, Vaseline has usefulness on dug big copper as well. Those cents that are bronze do well in the 3in 1 or light oil. The first thing I do on valuable copper and bronze items is treatment with Verdicare, available from coin chemical suppliers. It's great stuff and arrests the verdigris often seen on indian cents, large cents and early wheats. There I go again....yaking away.
Good job finding those in your dug cents - congrats!
