Though I'm not much of a cent hunter, I did bring home 50+ solid rolls of wheats from the bank about two years ago. Many of the rolls contained bright coins and they were solid dates. In the mix were several rolls of 1955's, two solid rolls of steel cents, and oldest of the solid rolls being 1928 (not shiny).
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Tough to get a good picture at night under a lamp with the shine. They are flawless though.
Thank you for the interest. Beginners luck?

You can make a simple light diffuser by cutting out part of a cereal box and cover the hole with tissue paper. They jsut get it between your subject and the light source and it will make the light softer and less glare. But those pics are good enough to make everyone jealous.. Uh.. I mean happy for you.

I too started with beginners luck. First box of pennies I ever did, after reading this forum, I want to say I got over 150 wheats. It was awesome. I was told to go back for more, to "mine the vein," and I did, and I got about 750 wheats out of 5 boxes or so. That was 2 years ago, I posted it here. Beginners luck for sure. The coins call out the hunters out in this hobby. :-) did you get the whole vein?
keep it up and let us know how it goes!

That's a great find - congratulations! They are out there but it is quite something to score fifty BU wheats all at once.

 Surely a mindblower. Especially coming from a CWR.  |

Congrats! This is exactly why I stand by my belief that coin roll hunting is worth it. Never know what you'll find.
