Just finished the last few CWR rolls of $25 worth that I got a few days ago.
Only 4 Wheat Cents, a very worn 1946, 1944, 1957 and 1958.
20 Canadian pennies.
29, 2009 pennies.
The thing that made up for the low number of wheat cents was that the copper percentage was 27.9%.

I don't normally roll hunt Pennies but I had a chance to get a few rolls from an Estate. I had really good luck with the Halves and Nickels. I just started searching them tonight and found a 195? S. All ,I know is it's pre 59. The last number is missing. It was not ground off. It reminds me of the no"FG" Kennedy halves. I'll post a pic later. Has anyone seen this before? |

I could be a Grease Filled Die where the last digit is missing/very light. Wheathunter - that's a large number of 2009s! I'll see around a handful on a good box where only a couple are worth keeping. Interesting find! |

Wheat cent finds are still good finds. Even the common dates are not so common these days. Very nice!

Just finished another box: 392 Copper Lincolns. Of these, 10 were Wheat Cents and 7 were S-Mint LMR's. Also found a 1972 Canadian Cent, a 1959 XF45 Toned LMR, a 1983 Zincoln that was counter-stamped with the State of Massachusetts, and a 1985-D Zincoln with very striking blue toning. Dates of Wheats: 1916, 1936, 1940, 1941-S, 1942 (Lamination Error), 1946-S, 1947-D, 1950-D, 1952-D, 1958-D. Now for the pix: The Box!  1916 Fair1 LWC   1936XF45 LWC   1940 F15 LWC 1941-S VF35 LWC   1942 F15 Details LWC Lamination Error  1946-S VG08 LWC 1947-D F15 Details Corrosion LWC 1950-D VF35 LWC 1952-D F15 LWC 1958-D XF45 LWC 1959-D XF45 Toned LMR  1972 Canadian Cent  1972-S BU LMR with Obverse Lamination on Lincoln's Shoulder   1972-S BU LMR - Close-Up of Lamination  1983 Zincoln Counter-Stamped with State of Mass on Obv.  Close-Up of Counter-Stamp  1985-D Zincoln Toner  All in all, not a real thrilling box, but several fun finds and two of these were hole-fillers for my Lincoln Cents albums. |

I have yet to finish a box that had more than 17.12% worth of copper Lincolns. Thankfully, most boxes produce 5-10 wheats along with a few interesting minor errors and some Canadians to keep me interested.  |

I've been coin roll hunting Lincoln Cents since 2002, but generally speaking I've found my success rate to remain consistent with an average of around 10 wheats a box. I am a rather quick searcher that can go from unopened to back in the counting bag and in the trash in less than 15 minutes a box. Well today I decided to get two boxes to burn time on this sunny but frigid day. With 27 wheats total, it was a decent day. Of the 27, 21 were "commons" (1940-58 PD mint vice varieties/1943), a 1938, 2 1934s, a 1934-D in F-12 condition, along with these two Wheaties:   Sure, the 1932 is only worth a buck or maybe two, but the fact that date was the lowest mintage at the Philadelphia mint since 1879 definitely proves that I found something you don't see any day. I don't hunt for copper since it isn't worth much yet to really sell unless if I find them in solid date rolls by customers, but I see this hunt as only the appetizer for the main event from this ebay purchase: http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Pounds-U...p=true&rt=ncI just hope it comes by tomorrow since just because it's Priority Mail doesn't mean it will arrive in three days!

Today I found one of my best (so far) LMC boxes. I asked for a box of pennies but they did not have any "real" boxes so she had to throw together $25 in customer rolled. They all looked older (80's). I have only been through 6 rolls but so far 290 coppers (no LWCs) and one 1934 Canadian penny. Tons of very nice shiny 70's and 1980's pennies. By far by best box for copper I've had though. Hope I find some LWC's but am happy with the amount of copper. Looking forward to going through the rest but that will have to wait until another day! My other bank was a bust though, got another unopened 2014 box. Guess I will hang onto those but I would rather get older rolls. Edited by LibertyEagle20
