My wife while working as a teller brought home 2 solid customer rolls of steelies.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Just picking them out of my registers I'd say I find one per 10 rolls. Maybe less common than that. Wheaties by comparison average one per roll.

Really 1 per 10 rolls and Wheats 1 per roll? Those are awesome numbers.

Thinking about it maybe my numbers were scewd since I had just found one the other day. I have found 6 or so in the last year so maybe more like 1 per 20 or 30 rolls. It fluctuates based on whether the bank has gotten fresh rolls or not. My bank tends to go for long stretches with customer rolls or machine rerolls, probably since they have coin machines at their branches.

I've been hunting through cent boxes for over three years now and haven't found any steel cents yet. :(

I've gotten one and it is so rusted I could barely tell it was a steelie. Your chances of finding one in a box are VERY low.

Guess I will have to buy some to complete a Wheat cent set. |

As already noted most banks and similar organizations have magnetic devices that pull such coins out. So your chances of finding any today are getting very rare.

Found one in a bag of pennies off the coin machine.
The magnets don't get them all.

150 or so boxes in the past couple years, all brinks boxes, none.
CWR rolls, scored one to start off the year.

I have only found one when returning coins. It was corroded. I dipped it in vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide and it helped a bit.

I've found a couple, but they are so corroded they almost look like a copper penny. I've never found a really nice steel penny crh'ing. Found a bunch stuck to magnets on coin counting machines!

Where are these magnets on the coin machines? Do you just stick your hand in there?
