Thanks. Beautiful aren't they?
One of the wheats came from a box I got back in August. I had just picked it up and had a few minutes to kill before an appointment to get my new glasses. I decided to open a roll while waiting in the parking lot. There was a UNC 1954 and a 1955 S and another toned wheat in that roll. At that time I knew I had a good box. The box ended up yielding 31 UNC wheats including a 35 and a 48, about 20 UNC 59-65 and an additional 30 or so wheats.
I spent the coming weeks buying every box I could in hopes of getting more of the collection. I got the second ender out of another box I believe is part of the same collection but have not yet gone through it. So now I have about 30 boxes to go through.

Cool thread. Used to do halves way back when but gave up after many skunks. I have found 1 Indian ender in pennies and probably 100 wheat Enders. Of course I'm done 20-30k in boxes so bound to get a bunch. I do LOOK EVERY time I rip open a box tho still!!

I found this in a half dollar box awhile back. The box itself had a total of 9 proof coins in it.  |

Only the 1938 and 1950 are tougher "year" coins to find among the non War Jeffersons in my experience... hoping this 1951 turns out to be an S mint!  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Well, it turned out to be a '51 Philly... it is from the same branch and batch which produced the '50 Philly Jefferson the other day... which makes me wonder if perhaps a '55 Philly Jefferson might be lurking there?

BTW, these finds have been from the Bank Of America branch which doesn't like to take rolled coins... and for about 3 straight months, all they had were shiny new nickels and cents... they appear to have gotten rid of the teller I had an issue with, so I have been going there more frequently of late.
