Finished the last two boxes of cent that I kept for last. They weren't too bad, but they weren't as good as I expected. I'll try to post all the pictures tomorrow.
The results for box #3 of 6:
Wheats: 10 Copper %: 24.08% Canada: 5 2009: 7 Interesting: 1934, 1947-D, 1925-S. The 1925-S is now my lowest mintage (for circulation) cent at 26 million vs. the previous 1914 cent at 75 million.
The results for box #4 of 6:
Wheats: 12 Copper %: 19.12% Canada: 1 2009: 10 Interesting: 191?, 1957 hole-filler. The 191? cent is very well worn, I can just barely tell that it is in the teens, but the last digit is indistinguishable.

Wonderful finds. Keeps me interested even when my own finds are not terribly exciting.

It certainly looks to be dateless. Could also use some Verdi-care.

Quote: Looks like a teen. Quote: It certainly looks to be dateless If you look really hard, you can see a 1914 peep through the wear. And if you squint your left eye and cock your head a bit to the right, you should see the D mintmark. And if you click your heels three times . . .

The date is VERY VERY VERY faint. It's the type that the difference between the numbers and "background" is the fact that the "background" has circulation "grime" on it. If I where to rub the cent I could wear the grime away and almost all of the remaining details would almost certainly be gone. Here is the best picture I could get...  And here is where and how I see it.  And here is what Garoyn saw...

1910.  Certainly '191?' is my guess. Thank you for the closer photo.
