  1. Well about a year ago my father passed away. Well to not ramble too much back in 1974 he gave me my first whitman blue tri fold so this is how it started.  Fast forward to today.  My brother after going through his things in Alabama came across multiple rolls of wheat cents.  He knowing that i am a collector still decided to forward them to me.  I got them the other day and well ther were about twenty rolls of wheats, most marked with date ranges. 1910 -1919, 1920 - 1929 ect. and about 10 rolls of stealies. I went through all of them and didnt find anything better that a fine which i set aside.  most of them are in the VG range with solid readable dates.  So i have been thinking.  Should i start dumong these into circulation and maybe it will catch the eye of some younger person or should i just hang on to them as part of the ol JT HOARD??  which is starting to over take the office and spill out into the next bedroom.  So whatcha guys think?  slowly relase them or just hold them?

    mint state and Proof coins aren’t downgraded to AU due to prints.

    well they would never be downgraded to AU but they would be downgraded to low PF 60's or  high PF 50's  and if they werent then i woldnt trust who ever graded it.  It may also be the product of being dropped once3 or twice but that would also kill the grade.
