I'd be happy to find just one of those. The 1958 Canadian is especially nice!

Hello all! I've got a score for you! I'm in Canada, and as you know pennies have been discontinued, so it's difficult to get them. However, I did score $30.00 worth at a bank yesterday. I scored 6 bundles of 10 rolls each. One of the bundles was different than your typical penny roll in being that they didn't have any red on them as usual. Every penny in those rolls were Copper!  All Lincoln pre-1982 copper pennies, only one of the rolls were Canadian copper pennies and there was nothing newer than 1984 in the Canadians. The first picture is the total find, it's missing the first roll of the bundle.  The little stacks of coins on the left are all wheaties, all from the 40's and 50's. The eight rows are all copper memorial pennies ranging from 1959 - 1981. The last row on the right is all Canadian copper pennies ranging from 1953 - 1984. The stack of pennies on the right are all George VI pennies. In this entire find I also found a 1909 LWC   Unfortunately it's not a S mintmark or a VDB, but still awesome! But wait! There's something even better!! It wasn't even found in this bundle of rolls, it was found in an unrelated bundle. A 1908 Indian Head cent!       Pretty unbelievable to find an Indian Head cent here in Canada. I know they are tough to find in the USA even with the penny still circulating and being able to pick up boxes of pennies at pretty much any bank. So to find one here in Canada where the penny is pretty much gone is amazing!  Edited: Should have read newer than, not older than

Great finds angemon_1980! The IHC is still elusive for me. My latest $25 box was unusual. Customer wrapped rolls, over ten dollars in copper LMC, two dimes, a 1 penny coin from Britain was jammed in one of the rolls, two S mint marks 1973-S and a 1970-S in unc condition that some nitwit punched a deep divot into the hair on Lincoln's head, six 2009, fifteen Canadian cents, and drum roll please, thirty four LWC, the oldest is a 1915 and twelve 1957-P cents! Also the total count in the rolls was 2,525 coins! These rolls contained ten destroyed zinc cents. And found two more 2017-P cents in my change at the grocery store and the cashier was kind enough to sell me ten cents more.

Finished a box yesterday that yielded 20 wheats. A new record for me. The two oldest were a 1917-P and 1936-P (not a DDO, I wish though). Speaking of DD's however, I did find three column bar DDR's: a 2001-D, 2003-P and a 2005-P. But that's for another thread.

Did a box of cwr cents. Someone cashed in a lot of copper on 12/21/2015 (rolls were dated) but no wheats in those rolls, so it was probably a CRHer. Ended up with four wheats from that box: 1926, 1940, 1945, 1958 D. Two 1998 WAMs. And I have yet to get through the copper cents I pulled out.

Druu, TWO 98 WAMs in one box? I'd be lucky to find even one in one box, but I already have 3 of them.

crazyforATB have you checked your 1972s for DDOs? I once did a 10 roll lot of coins and found an example of 1972-D 1DO-001. I was pretty stoked when I found it.
