I decided to go through my bucket of copper and do a breakdown. Of the $54 I have searched, I got a total of 804 coppers (14.9% of total). 59: 1 59-D: 6 Sixties P/no MM: 52 Sixties D: 83 Sixties S: 19 Seventies P: 64 Seventies D: 312 Seventies S: 50 Eighties P: 43 Eighties D: 174 I did find this 69-S which appears to have some die scratches in the date.

Latest box results - LWCs - 17 LMCs - 56 (2 nice 1960D LD) Foreign - 12 Variety/Error - 38 (2000 WAM) Many AU/BU LMCs I will distill down to the few to keep. I finally got a WAM after a long dry spell.  And I've several LMCs to sort through, many minor DDRs to look up and a couple RPMs.

Thanks jbuck. It may be worth mentioning to the newer CRH enthusiasts that with a bit of time and searching that a complete AU/BU LMC set can be had for face value. In fact there are harder 70s and 80s dates to get than the 60s. But all doable.

Nice going with all those wheats! And Rackster, congrats on the 2000 WAM.

Nice find! I'll say about $3-5, but errors aren't my specialty.

Allfome - nice bunch of wheats!! A real nice yield!
Numisma - finding 1975-1981 EDS BU cents with a good strike has been challenging. Plenty of soft, MDS/LDS AU/BU coins out there, but they look mushy.
Frogman - terrific off-center find!

Best box ever! Started out before the box when my local CU had a 1918 cent and the teller nearby had a 1943 wheat that wasn't corroded! But in addition to those two, I had 25 wheats in my box. That is 1% of all cents in the box being Wheatbacks. Could these be part of the copper hauls coming back in after the copper downfall? From the box I got  1916  1935 (2)  1936  1941-D  1944  1945-D  1945 (4)  1946 (2)  1947-D  1950-D  1951-D  1952-D  1954-D (2)  1955-D  1956 (2)  1957-D (2)  1958-D
