I did 94 boxes of cents in 2016. My results are: IHC: 3 (1895, 1903, 1906) Type 2 blank planchets: 2 (1 copper, 1 zinc) Steel cents: 2 (both P) Proofs: 5 Wheat cents: 1274 Total Canadian cents: 772 George V: 2 (1920, 1932) George VI: 27 WAM: 2 (1998-P, 2000-P) Notable: one 1972P-1DO-002 Not counting one outlier box that contained 258 wheat cents, the average was 10.8 wheat cents per box. Fun year! |

Egads. I hope you don't get copper or zinc oxide poisoning.
That is a BUNCH of cents.

That is a BUNCH of cents. I wear rubber gardening gloves! At first re-rolling the coins with gloves was a challenge, but now I am used to it. |

How many key dates did you find? And what were the best ones

Indeed, tell us about anything you found that is worth saving beyond common LWC stuff. |

Quote:How many key dates did you find? And what were the best ones Indeed, tell us about anything you found that is worth saving beyond common LWC stuff. Good questions. Unfortunately, I think the best answer is that I found no key dates. The two earliest coins were 1909 and 1910. The only mintmarked coins prior to 1930 that I found were 1919-D, 1919-S, 1926-D, 1929-D, and 1929-S. Below are my 2016 CRH cent folders (in descending order). In the last few months I have found it very difficult to make progress on it. I find plenty of examples of late teen Philadelphia coins, but the mintmarked coins elude me. Hopefully I can fill more holes this year!    |

Outstanding! Did you keep copper LMC or just toss them back? And if you kept them, what was the percentage? |

Thanks for sharing this. I wondered what could be found nowadays by someone dedicated. Let's hope 2017 holds some keys for you.

Very nice lot!
But I must ask, is this all of the wheats you found?
I don't know if I'm lucky, but I average between 1 wheat per two rolls, and 2 wheats per roll!
