Recently I got a full roll of them. But usually I get about 1 per couple rolls.

Recently, though, I haven't been getting many.

If you need some for your 1941-1974 folder, I have thousands of cents in those years, so pm me if you're interested & I'll give some to you free. They're in average condition.

I haven't been finding many at all. The most I've found in a $50 bag recently is 16. I haven't found more than 10 in a $25 box in a VERY long time. Last week, I had a $50 bag with ONE wheat.

I'm still working through $40 of CWRs but it's been better than the last couple of boxes I searched. 27 Wheats so far out of this box. Around 24 AU+/BU LMCs. 4 LMC S mints, a few 2009s. And looking at the BU zincolns; around 35. The bigger deal for me are the error/variety specimens. Perhaps 70 of these to do some study/attributions for. I have around 7 or 8 I've already ID'ed and in flips. I suspect out of the 70 or so left, I may ID another 10. That said, I still have about $15 still left to search, so those numbers are in flux. |

I hear you Child! Your busy with school (and other interests); work has been rather demanding on my time of late. But I've also focused on nickels trying to find the elusive '39D. The $40 in cents I have was the result of good timing when returning nickels. One of the bank tellers just took them in so I bought them up. That was nearly 8 weeks ago! The larger quantities of Wheats and high grade LMCs had me hooked for a short period, but then what little time I had went to the nickels.

I use to get 14-17 per box. Lately I've gotten 7-10 per box.  |

I average 15-20 wheats per box. (side note: I scored a '94 DDR and '98 WAM in my last 2 boxes) |

On Monday I got 22 rolls from a local credit union & I only found 1 wheatie!! And in the last 2 months only a few per $25 box. Like the last box I went through I found 3 of them. :( Perhaps I should start looking through non credit unions coins! However I did find a 71 DDO, AU. So thatwasawesome, beyond awesome! I also know a cashier who collects wheaties for me as well. |

I wrapped two Wheat cent dumps last week, the oldest I could find was a 1916, that was just a quick search. As I had to keep working the machine, kicking out rolls to make a box of cents etc.... |

I have been finding less than ten wheats per box. I have better luck with customer wrapped rolls, but they are difficult to buy in large quantities at banks.My copper ratio is about 15%. Here is link to my penny spreadsheet I have been keeping. I have found an Indian cent, a Silver Portuguese 100 Reis, and a couple varieties. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...Q/edit#gid=0You should develop a relationship with your tellers to get them save customer wrapped rolls for you. Also, get the pennies from a variety of banks because each bank has a different coin vault somewhere. ex (Chase bank would have a different coin vault than Bank of America. After a couple boxes from each bank, record the copper and wheat numbers and find the bank that has the best results for your goals. Good Luck and Happy Hunting  |
