What is your average yield of wheat pennies (any and all years and at least "average circulated" condition) per $25 bank box of pennies these days?
As for what I mean by "average circulated"---I guess that probably means "Good" condition in proper grading jargon.

20 per box, usually 40s and 50s, with a few 30s and every now and then 20s and 10s

I've averaged about 5-15. I just skewed my numbers big time though, with a haul of 2,800+ wheats from a cwr collection dump.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

If the rolls have a lot I don'y count them. I consider that and outlier. I once got a tip from a teller about some wheat rolls that someone brought in. Got 800 wheats, didn't count it on my statistics app where I plug my numbers. Just do what makes sense to you.

I would guess ~ 25 to 30 but I have not kept a running count. I also get about 5-10 Canadian cents as well.

I pull 10-15 per $25. Mostly 1944, 1945, 1956 dates. I average 1 or 2 1910-1939 per box.

I get one ever 5-6 rolls, so that is about maybe 8-10 per box, mostly 40's and 50's.

Most boxes yield anywhere from 7 - 15 for me. Bags I get from around here seem to yield about the same as two boxes.

I don't get quite those kind of averages down here in the south. I average between 4 and 8 wheats per box. My highest number in a box is 28...after that my next highest total is 15. I get two boxes per week so I've been through 100 boxes so far this year with two weeks to go. I have found three IH's this year...1880, 1881, and 1898. G-8 condition at best but they only cost me a penny. I have also found 23 WAM's so far this year...13 2000's and 10 1998's...no 1999's  |

Here in Canada, I usually find wheat pennies in circulation (ad old as 1920S) and not in rolls.
