First Time Hunting Through Rolls In 20 Years

That would be great, I always welcome the advice of those who know more than me :-) Which is everyone here at this time lol. Wouldn't you know, I am about to open a box of nickels and 2 more boxes of pennies. One of the penny boxes, even though from a different bank, has the same number printed on it as the my first amazing batch. I hope I luck out again, saving that one to the end.

***update

The box of nickels turned out a no date buffalo! Score!

First box of pennies turned out 18 wheat pennies, including a 1941 d that filled a hole in my book. There was also a 1917 that was darkly discolored but did not appear to have much wear on it, wheatlines were visible.

2nd box produced 19 wheats! I took a 1925 from this batch and replaced the one already in my book.

So, for my first weekend of CRH, I got 193 wheat pennies, a dateless Buffalo nickel, a good number (forgot to count) of 1959 and earlier Jefferson nickels, and a silver dime.

I am pretty pleased!

The good luck continues! I just went back to the same bank that had the good box on friday (156 wheats), and got another box. I just finished it, and pulled 107 more wheats. I will add some more detail after I wash up and make some dinner.

** update

Ok, so I have been extremely fortunate with the quantity of wheat pennies I have scored in my first 4 boxes ever. If my math is correct, the total for the 4 boxes is exactly 300 wheats.

Many of them appear almost uncirculated, as if they were put away immediately. Full wheat lines on tons of them. The more I look closer, the nicer they look.

Here is the breakdown from this box today:

Nice, sounds like you hit a wheat vein. Mine it! Go to all the other nearby banks and get as many boxes as you can ASAP.

skibdib,
You should go back to that bank and get all of the cent boxes they have left.

Very nice finds for your return to CRH!

ok, I went back to the bank and they were not happy to see me again, heh. I broke out 8 bags of m&ms and now all of them love me. They checked and gave me the last 2 boxes of this special batch (at this bank). I'm not sure if any more are around.

I just opened the first box and there are 10 wheat ender rolls :-) This is going to be a fun night. Chocolate sealed the deal for sure.

thanks all for the coinspiration, I could not have picked a better batch to make my CRH return!


***update, first box had an amazing 198 wheats. I found my oldest yet in the batch, a nice 1916, and filled a hole in my book.

2nd box has 9 rolls with wheat ends. Must keeping opening.

Told you to go clean 'em out, great run you're on there.
