Finished Organizing 2 Years Or So Of Wheats.

I see the four usual suspects all topped the century mark. Do you have your S mints in a separate sheet?

I keep a running total of my nickel finds... I need to get my cent totals updated... it's been a few months.

No problem... was just curious to see your totals so I can compare to mine, since I'm on the opposite coast. I should be getting my totals up from 7 1/2 months of searching up later today, hopefully.

Just did my tally since I started back in mid-February through 9/30/16... I've found exactly 400 old U.S. cents over that time... 398 Wheats, and 2 Indians...

Yes... four steels, though I must confess that two of them were Coinstar finds, along with a 1941. The other 395 wheats including two steels have come from rolls (one MWR, one CWR). I've never found a 1931-33 dated cent. I do wonder if I will ever find one. I'd say the odds are probably about the same as finding a 1950-D nickel - in other words, not very likely, but possible if you do enough volume or get lucky and run into a collection dump.

Yinzi - Good lord, how many boxes/bags did you go through to find 6K wheats?

My average output per box was 20+ wheats; so more than 300+ boxes

I actually forgot how many wheats I have and how many boxes that I've searched. After looking up my records, I searched 540 boxes between 2012 to 2014. 2 boxes in 2015 and 3 boxes in 2016. (50 CWRs = 1 box; 1 bag from the coin machine = 2 boxes)

I have 72.5 lbs of after-40 wheats in bags, which are about 10618 pieces;
I have 3.8 lbs of pre-40 wheats in a bag, which are about 556 pieces;
I have some wheats in 2x2 and folders and an album.

I only found 1 iron penny in a Brinx box and 1 iron penny in cwr; but I acquired over 100 iron pennies from coin machine magnets.

I have 30 holes unfilled (not counting 1955-DDO and 1922 plain).

Wheats that I am missing: 09S, 09SVDB, 10S, 11D, 11S, 12D, 12S, 13D, 13S, 14D, 14S, 17D, 20D, 22D, 23S, 24D, 24S, 25D, 26S, 27D, 27S, 28S, 30D, 31, 31D, 31S, 32, 33D, 38S, 39D.
