Picked up my 10 boxes of cents from my bank yesterday and just went through my standard 5 rolls per day. These 10 boxes and the 10 boxes before these were Loomis,first time for me all have been S&S before. Finds:16 from the 50"s 4 from the 40's 1 1939 in nice condition and one 2015 trail die. The wheats are not in that great of condition but wheats none the less. Here's hopin' John1  |

How many boxes did you go through to find the 21 Wheaties?

Yeah, I'm wondering that too. I usually get 15-20 in one box (I get string and sons), so I assume those are the stats for the box? or for 5 rolls?

Yah,thanks. If I get 20 in one box I am doing good.At this rate I could get 150-200 in one box! Wishful thinking I know. John1 |

Wow, that is really beating today's odds. This is closer to what I would get CRHing in the early seventies.  |

5 rolls per day That isn't even worth my getting things out to be gin looking rolls for. Odds are the othe 45 rolls in that box will have little to nothing in it. That is how mine seem to be, the majority are in 1 or 2 rolls for a box, while the rest of the rolls have nothing or a sparse 1 wheat here or there. Thats not just pennies either. it seems there is 1 row or 5 in every box where I actually find special stuff, and the rest is just random. Statistically possible, but freakishly improbable that it always happens like that for me. |

Holy Toledo! You just broke statistics. Maybe you should consider this box a monster box for wheats? about 10% wheats so far.

Nice finds and discipline as well, the rest of us would have destroyed that box after the first 5 rolls!
