BadThad - how would one identify such a coin in a BU bank box? I have a couple of 2014 boxes I have received from my bank as well. Wouldn't opening the rolls and touching the coins automatically lower the grade?

The 1967 Canadian cent is a Canadian Centennial. And it's a rock dove :).

Another disappointing box! 1 1940-p wheat, 10 cnd. I only found one 2009 and It was cull so I threw it back. The only cool thing in this box was a British One Penny coin (2000s). I sure hope my luck changes because this is getting discouraging.

You are finding a number of 2009s smeyers; very high relative to my location. Only a matter of time before you find the missing one!

tons of new pennies, but I'm finding about half as many wheats as everyone here it seems like. I'm averaging 4-6 and a lot of people seem to be on the 8-10 range. Also, only a 1929 for the pre-1940 range after 7 boxes (almost 1 in 20,000 pennies). I have found 4 semi-key s mint wheats from 1940-1958 though, so I can't complain too much.

It's luck of the draw - currently going through $25 of CWRs. about 2/3 done and only 3 LWCs. I can see three sets of different wrappers and each set has a different mix. I've almost pulled out 36 Zincolns, some AU/BU specimens from the 80s and 90s. You never know what you are going to get. And so far, 22 error/variety specimens of which I IDed two; 1998P-1DER-032T and 1962P-1DO-026. So while the LWC count and dates are a bit disappointing, I'm making things up with a nice mix of early LMCs and fine Zincolns.  Some good with the bad. |

Hi Child - no real complaints although as I mentioned, the LWC count is down....but I've a little more to go so maybe it'll pick up a bit.  Honestly, just the focus changes a bit with each box given what it's producing. I don't mind boxes (CWRs) that might be skewed one way or the other. Different opportunity to make discoveries. That's OK with me. Good times!! PS - I hope the '35 wasn't damaged. Edited by Rackster

Nice finds Rackster! Every box is like a box of chocolates! <GRIN> I'm working on a box right now. Got 12 rolls left to go through. Found a gorgeous 2006 BU Bahamian Cent, which was cool. First Bahamian coin I've found in circulation in the States, though I have quite a few older Bahamian coins that I acquired years ago during my honeymoon in Nassau. (Great place!) This box is also proving to be productive in other areas. I've found 7 Wheaties thus far with the oldest being a 1918. One of them is also a 1944-S. I'm also finding early LMR's in BU again: 1963-D, 1969-D, 1970-D and 1972-D so far. I'm also finding more 2014-D and 2015-D's in BU. I throw back any that have bad bag marks or PMD and keeping those that have good eye appeal and/or are of gem quality. |

Time to go get another box! |
