Was finally able to sit down with mom and go through the $50 bag. It ended up not being very exciting. The cents were a bit newer than she remembered. The newest in the bag were 1981. Here is the breakdown
100% copper ( just wanted to say it, I dont see this ever happening from a bank box these days)
35 wheat, olderst 1940
12 Canadian oldest 1957
The best part... a non-upset rim blank planchet
The bulk of the cents were between 1975 and 1979. The bag was purchased in new England so it isn't surprising that D and S mints were less than 10% of the content. I am very pleased with the blank planchet as it is my first find
