Coin hoarding, every archaeologist's dream. About three years ago on Ebay, a 
couple of guys down South began auctioning 1gallon and 5 gallon buckets of 
U.S. Wheat/Lincoln pennied. They inherited a warehouse full of 55-gallon drums 
full of Wheaties. Should they truly flood the market, even the vaunted 1909 VDB 
will only be worth a penny. No one knows why those pennies were hoarded in the 
warehouse, which was located out in a field quite far from the farm house.
