i think 1 wheat per every 2 rolls is good. I bought a $25 box (50 rolls) and got 9 wheats. thats like 1 out of every 5 to 6.

Thanks so much for this. I was looking for this sort of thing. Quick questions...

1) what is D/D/D, D/D, and S/S ?

2) what are the 7 varieties from 1982?

1) slashes represent Repunched mintmarks. do "D/D" would be a "D over D mintmark" where it was punched 2 times

2) * 1982 Large Date Bronze
* 1982 Small Date Bronze
* 1982-D Large Date Bronze
* 1982 Large Date Zinc
* 1982 Small Date Zinc
* 1982-D Large Date Zinc
* 1982-D Small Date Zinc

I believe because of low mintage number.

Hi all!

Found a lot of helpful information on this topic! Special thanks to KenRingold,and dumprat for the listing! I wrote out the list in the back of my 2011 Blue book. I wonder if I post a pic of a 1970s, if I would get a positive ID on large or small date?
