I am also interested in what banks give bags. Sounds like a smart way to hunt - congrats on your finds!

I would have been happy with the 85 Cud, throw in a 22 and I'm dancing a jig.  Smart move on the second bag. Edited by DrDon

Some nice finds. The 1922 D is sweet. All in all, I think you made out very well. I just seached a box last night and was let down a little. Only 3 wheat backs, average copper for the box was only 5%.

I appreciate the nice comments. I am by no means trying to brag about the coins I have found. Just like to share my finds with people who appreciate such things. I have now decided to stop searching boxes and switch to bags. I talked to all the tellers and I am the only customer that ask for such large quantities of change so that means there is a good chance of this happening again. The other bag only had about 20 wheat pennies and about $12.00 in copper. Happy hunting everyone.

What a score. The 22D is favorite of mine due to the history of it.

Bragging/Sharing (about) your finds is the best part of the forum!
