Great idea, Dylan, I've got a lot of wheaties at home, I'll have to look thru them to check the dates, it's good that you have a collection to look thru & you know what you're looking for

Yup! Keep a sharp eye out for those rare coins. I think everyone on this site is just as excited for you to get that Ace250 as you are. You probably don't know this, but you give our hobby hope. With your enthusiasm and respect for the hobby, you're gonna find a whole bunch of neat stuff. We're all really happy you're here. I bet your folks are real proud of you.
