Today I went through another box of 2500 cents, here are the results:

Canada
GVI
1938
1943
1946

EII
1957
1962
1964 x 6

USA
1919 in G
1920 in AG
1927 in VG
1945
1945-D
1946
1949
1949-D
1952-D - run over by a bulldozer
1952-S
1953
1953-D X 2
1955
1956
1958-D

S Mint Memorials
1968-S
1969-S
1973-S

This box felt a bit heavier when it was handed to me, and indeed it was, as about 1/3 of the coins were dated in the 1960's or 1970's. With 16 wheats in this haul it bested my usual total of 10-12 per box.

Good finds, especially the 27 in VG.

I just went thru 5 rolls a customer brought in, and not one wheat.

True it could not have been a normal bulldozer. They usually have very large, soft tires. Now a Sherman tank could be your culprit. Or just an everyday steam roller.
All in all a great find. Nowadays when I go to a bank and get large amounts of any coin all I find are mostly coins from 2000 to present. This area I live is just to well looked over by coin collectors.

With the exception of one bank I go to, the rest of them have coins that they order from a distributor, so they come from Ohio or somewhere.
