Amazing results everyone! I have a box I've been going through this week but nothing amazing has come out so far. Can anyone share tips from a photography standpoint so I can get some pictures posted? Everything I try to take a picture of winds up blurry. I am trying to use the "flower" setting as well.
Good luck on your future finds!

Cole - Your 22D is a VG, there's no doubling, it's worth about $15-17, great find!
OK, I opened the last two rolls of the Miracle box, they were just as good as the previous rolls:
1929D 1929 1937D 1944 1950D 1972S 1991, nice MS 64 red!
To me it looks like someone just dumped their whole Lincoln collection and Brinks wrapped it up for me. LOL The date range and mints were nothing short of amazing. I've done a lot of bank boxes and this box was just unreal for me. I think I filled a 50 roll tube with Wheats from just this box.....very surprizing since I usually average 8 Wheats per box and most of those are 1950's. This box covered from 1910 to 1958!

That's awesome BadThad, Congrats. You really did amazing, I mean that's an amazing spread of dates, I have yet to find one from the teens. Oldest being a 21S. On my 22d, what would make that shadow above the N? BadThad and everyone else- Good luck on your next box!

In Jan I went to the bank and got 11 rolls of wheat pennies. there were 5 memorials,3 canadians(one was a king George the sixths) and 2 steelies. There was a 1911,1914,1918,1918 and about 5 from the 20's, also and EF 1932D.

 Sorry the photo is blurry but the two coins were pulled from a box tonight. The top is a blank planchet and the bottom is a 1970S which is still red. I'll keep working on my camera to try and make things a lot clearer. Any idea what the planchet is worth?

Use a tripod, that should make the biggest difference. And right on, a blank planchet! As for the price, check ebay, it seems to vary mostly between $5-20 Everybody is scoring!!

meckl9 - What camera model do you have? Try depressing the shutter button half way, the camera should focus, then fully depress to take the pic.

*I'm less than 100 miles straight North from Philly, so they keep sending all these WAMS up here! (LOL)
