CanadaCoinHunting New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 09/08/2012 4:59 pm Thank you to everyone for taking a look at these finds and I apologize again for taking so long to post the rest of the results. I would be happy to answer any questions, and I am going to go back through the thread and answer what I can. I will post a final tally/breakdown in the next few days. Here are some final pictures. In the first picture, I separated the wheats by decades: Report this Post to the Staff

HistoryCollectorScout New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 09/08/2012 11:32 pm Amazing find! Did you show everything (or just the good stuff)? In other words, not one zinc cent? If not, that's got to be some sort of record making box for coin roll hunting! Report this Post to the Staff

CanadaCoinHunting New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 3:01 pm @pennysaver - Thanks pennysaver! So glad you enjoyed the videos and pictures! I had a great time making them and it was no problem at all. @matchbox - Thank you for the kind words! It is greatly appreciated and I am happy to have shared the results. @HistoryCollectorScout - Everything in the box was shown, and you are correct in that there was not a single zinc penny. I will post a picture and video with the fullbreakdown (years and mint marks). Thank you for the comment! @jbuck - Haha! Most definitely! :) @kylecolb - There was definitely some luck involved here. But you never know what is in the next box. :) Report this Post to the Staff
CanadaCoinHunting New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 3:08 pm Here are the complete results for the box. In total, there were 2234 wheat pennies.

As always, I'd be happy to answer any questions and look forward to your thoughts. Thank you to everyone for taking a look. :thumbup: Ve-fhvHrYkA Report this Post to the Staff
