That's right folks. The first roll I opened contained TWELVE wheat cents! The best being a 1957-D in AU.

The great thing is, there are four other rolls showing wheat cents on the ends.

Could be my best box of cents yet. Stay tuned!

Edit: Roll #2: FOUR wheaties!

Roll#3: ELEVEN wheaties!!!!!!!

Wheat Cents so far by date/mint:

1936
1937
1939 x 5
1941 x 10
1944 x 6
1945 x 4
1945-D
1950-D
1951-D
1952-D x 2
1953-D x 1
1957-D x 10

And that's only three rolls! Wonder how so many wheat cents landed in a $25 box?

S Mint

1969-S
1972-S

Interests:Series I am working on: - $1 Silver Certificates - 1923 and on, all signatures, designs, varieties, and stars - 56 notes in all - 42 down, 14 to go... - Peace Dollars - only the key dates left. Will start looking for die varieties too. - Walking Liberty Halves - 1939 and on - certified MS65 or higher and Proof 65 or higher. A doable short-series but takes some minor investing. - Barber dimes - XF - AU preferable based on budget and aesthetics but they are impossible to find. - Also interested in Liberty Nickels, Indian Head Cents, Sitting Liberty Dimes, and Patterns but don't have any of those yet.

I like how Burks cares to keep us on pins and needles for the potential hundreds of wheats he adopted last night. I might have to pop over to Toledo this morning and hit the banks. I am in Ann Arbor anyway, so what is another 40 miles? :ninja:

Sounds like somebody dumped their old penny jar and took it to the bank. Nice going!!! Keep us updated on your treasures.

Well you'd actually have to drive another 115 miles to get to where this box was purchased.

Dad picked it up for me early this week.

Fun fact: I now have 22lbs of post-1982 cents that need wrapped and returned. Will probably be 30lbs by mid next week.

Gees, I could give you some pointers on quick coin sorting, even with feline hazards jumping on the table I get them done quick. :ninja:

I'm looking for varieties as well so sorting is at a casual pace. Have to check my list, bust out the loupe, get on coppercoins.com, blah blah.

Haven't found a darn thing but it's fun!

Roll 14: 6 Wheats

Roll 15: 1 Wheat

No clue what roll I'm on.

Found one wheatie, a 1990 Bahamas Cent, and a few really nice coins for my Dansco.

Final total:

54 wheat cents (two of which were steel).
1 Bahamas Cent.
Another 5lbs of pre-1982 cents.

And I have a big bag of 1995, 1998, 1999, and 2000 cents to go through looking for wide/close A.M. and double dies.
