Not from one roll - from a box. Just kept setting them aside until I was done with the box. Probably got 15 wheaties out of it. Nice scattered range, plus the IHC. |

That's probably only the 6th or 7th box I've searched and I was starting to give up. I've had limited success with box searching until this one. I have renewed hope!

Scooby, that is fantastic!! I gotta get me a box like that.
Here I was going to brag about my haul from the last 2 boxes I've searched. All I had been finding for weeks was late 50s wheaties. But from the last two boxes I filled 3 holes - '36S, '37S and '40S.

Thought it was really strange to pull 3 '12-D's.  |

I pulled 15 wheats, 3 LP 4 in BU and a 2010 in BU from a box last night. I only had 2 Canadians, but one was a 1941 which is a keeper in my book! The best wheat was a 1919.

Indian heads are always cool. Coinman1014 calls them "Lisa Simpson" cents.

He actually got it from my wife/his mom, who is not a coin person.

Scooby,
Keep lookin. 3 - 4 yrs ago I was finding a 1998/2000 every 2 or 3 boxes. I think the effect of people looking for them has taken a toll as I am finding one now every 7 to 8 boxes. Granted, I am not looking as closely, skipping over the rough coins that I looked at in the early going.
