2nd update, went back to the small-town bank I was successful at getting a $50 bag of cents in my last post and was told it was over. No more cent exchanges (sales). I truly hope that others are correct and that cents will start stacking up in the banks and become available for us to CRH again. Not sure if that will happen.

When I stated I sold a box of cents for $50, the box was sealed and I had no idea of what was in the box.
Probably nothing worthwhile but will find out tonight at the coin club meeting.
I doubled my money on the box. Works for me.

One of my bank branches still had a 'good' supply of cents available last week--no boxes, but a small mountain of rolls. Another branch had signage posted, encouraging customers to bring their cents in.

This past Friday, I went to 2 Wells Fargo banks in my town. First one got my 2 rolls for $1, at 2nd bank I gave them 3 rolls that I had gone through along with a dollar and received 5 rolls.
Lo and behold, I was able to get 28 wheat cents and 1 steel cent out of the 5 rolls! A nice haul for my time.
Yes, banks only allow you to buy 2 rolls but if you bring in more rolls to exchange, they don't have a problem.

At my coin club meeting on Tuesday, a woman brought in wheat cents that her mom had kept during her time working as a teller in a bank. ( I do believe that she traded cent for cents)!
I was able to get 15 rolls of wheats for $1.50 each. Is 3 cents each for wheats a good value for me?
Did get some nice looking 1919 D's and some 1923 S 's.
Haven't gone through all the rolls yet but it's snowing today in Colorado, so they are beckoning me to check them out!

When I originally posted the offer of two 2025 cent rolls for about $14 (with shipping) earlier in this thread, I was trying to be funny. After the last coin show I attended (two weeks ago,) I have to think, perhaps, it wasn't as funny as I thought. Dealers at that show were asking and getting $7-8 per roll for 2025 Philly cents! The few rolls of 2025D I saw were bringing $10 each (we are in an area that does not usually see Denver mint coins.) At the end of the first day all of the rolls I saw in the morning had sold out.
