I just got home. I must say it was quite overwhelming- I ended up counting cents, and about 15% were wheats. I just grabbed as many as possible and traded them out, although a lot more slipped past. I also got a few older nickels and some Canadian cents. I didn't have time to look at most of the dates, so I'll get back soon with a tally.
There was also a 1977-D Ike in someone else's pile, but I didn't get to swap it.

I took a handful of copper cents as well, but didn't focus on them as there were a lot. My heart skipped a beat when I looked at a 1969-D and the date was doubled, until I realized that it was just MD.

Also, some great news- I received confirmation that the coins will be deposited at the local Bank of America, where I have an account. I know where I'm going on Monday!

When I got there, they said they had already shipped the rolls off. Oh well, I left with some other stuff. Two boxes each of nickels and cents, and 7 CWRs of halves. I did a quick edge search of a few half rolls in the car and found 1 40%, a 69-D.

By the way, I should mention that all the wheats listed above were found in $3-$4 face of cents.

How about the Human Fund?

I'm sure some of you will get it.

While I'm sure George would be proud of me, I don't know if I could live with myself...
