Just got finished with the box looking through and sorting, and ended up with 12 Wheats. I will have more detailed figures to come.

Twelve wheat cents are better than no wheat cents.  |

I will post pictures - good and bad pictures! I have spotted several BU looking cents from 1981! I have also sadly noticed that about twenty-five percent of the Shield cents I have came across have already became corroded and unfit for circulation! I am going to post a picture of the "Crappy Shields" as well. As far as Wheats, I found two with sharp Wheat stalks from 1936 and 1937!

I went to the bank a few weeks ago to acquire a $25 block of cents, and changed my mind after I noticed they were all shield cents in the plastic (vinyl) sleeves.  Edited by oih82w8

True once again jbuck! Interesting that the number of Wheats I found equals the number of the Lincoln Commemoratives. Says a lot about the scarcity in the series, I think. How impressive of reupman to find so many in his two boxes.

I am almost done sorting through the coppers in the box. I wonder if its worth going through the zinc cents since a lot of them are corroded and aren't worth more than one cent.

$6.90 of the $25.00 brick was copper, for 27% copper! That figure does not include the Wheats! I am unsure now as to whether I should dump the rest and go back to the bank for more?

*Final count* $7.15 in copper cents for 28.6%. Seems higher than I thought for copper percentage. Also, the figure does not include 1982 cents as I have those separate. Is this a high percentage for a box or just average? I felt anything below 20 percent was low.

I am not sure what the average would be since I no longer actively search rolls, but I would call that a good percentage.
