Incredible IFC find! I don't suppose you could pull a date off with a bit of vinegar?  |

I just started a box of plastic machine-wrapped cents. I'm eight rolls in, and have 47 wheat cents already. This is crazy! Two 1918 cents, a few from the 20s, some 30s, and later. Also a 1926-D. I've never had a box like this. I think the most wheat cents I have found in a box prior to now is 17. There are seven wheat end-rollers also in the box, which indicated it would be a good one.
UPDATE: I'm 21 rolls in. So far 116 wheats and the earliest is 1910-P. Also, a 1962 proof, and one counterstamped coin.

I finished the box: 258 Wheats. My best box ever. My previous record was 17 wheats in one box, so I'm astounded. I filled 4 holes in with this box! The pre-1940 coins were: 1909, 1910, 1926-D, 1929-D, 1938-D, 1939-S, 1917 (4), 1918 (3), 1919, 1920 (7), 1923, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928 (2), 1930 (2) 1934 (2), 1935 (4), 1937 (6). There was also a 1949 George VI and a 1962 impaired proof. I don't think I'll ever have a box like this again. My son opened the roll with the 1909. Great fun! The box was machine-wrapped with 2016 coins in the mix.      |

Holy crap, aristarchus! Congrats! As for me, $26.50 in cents bought yesterday ($15 CWR, $11.50 MWR) brought me only 5 wheats, but one of them was made of a different alloy!   CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Amazing hoard, Aristarchus! Some of those coins look pretty nice.
John77, even if the numbers weren't great, I think that steel makes up for it.

Just finished a box of pennies. Got 10 wheats, the oldest being a 1940. Also found a lowball, a Cud error, and another error that I am unsure of, even if it is an error. I will post the lowball in the lowball forum. Link: http://goccf.com/t/245011&whichpage=10  Edited by CollectionMaster

Amazing box, Aristarchus! Would love to hit one of those someday!
We picked up 2 boxes to do over the Thanksgiving holiday and we've gone through one already.
9 wheats (a 1935 plus 40's and 50's), plus 12 Canadians. We found a 1960, which was one we didn't have for Canadian Cents. We actually started up a book because we've found so many, and we're only missing 1988, 2011 and 2012 to have a full run of 1959-2012 Canadian Cents, all from CRH.
