I haven't ever gotten a box of cents, but from what I've seen posted here, that sounds about right.
I assume they were later dates?

Hey CrazyB. A few questions for you.
How many Indian Heads?
Am I right that you have done 300 boxes?
How many pre1940's?
How many low mintage or rare wheats?
Thanks for sharing

I was averaging 15-20 wheats per box back in 2016. I went through maybe 3 boxes a month. I lost track of my findings, however I did land a 1905 IHC, maybe a dozen or so wheats from the teens and twenties. I spent some time searching for varieties as well. Depending on what you look for it can take some time to go through a box of cents. I've found quite a few clashes, some RPM's, DDO's and DDR's, one Cud from 1983.... I've given up being concerned about your average die cracks and even found clashes on mid 80s are somewhat common. I really enjoy the hunt. Finding a 100 year old coin in common change is pretty darn cool. I'm trying to fill albums from circulated coins. Nickles may be next, but that might be harder for me as my wife doesn't appreciate me having money tied up in rolls of coins. She just doesn't get it  Edited by gratefuldad

I average about 10 wheats per box when I do them.
As with dimes, I strongly recommend getting rolls from as many different banks as possible instead of boxes... batches of $5-$10 at each depending... and then going back to the banks where the best rolls came from. I've found many good little hoards of wheats and even some Indians that way.

spruett,
Of the Wheaties I found, one was from the 1930's, two from the 1940's, and the rest from the 1950's.
