I've done 42 boxes and the most wheats I have ever had was 17. My average is like 7 wheats per box. Looks like you got a nice haul there!

Are you hooked yet?  I don't see any big time values jumping out at me but finding that many wheats in one box is pretty good. I tend to find less wheats and more Canadians then you did per box and I find two or three foreign coins (other then Canada) per year. John1  |

No doubt about it, that is an above average wheat haul. You should be addicted to it by now.

I'm in New York, so I guess I'm pretty close to the border. Anyway, I'm getting another box today and maybe some half dollar rolls if my bank has any.

I love finding wheat pennies no matter what year or condition. You should ask if they have any full bags from the coin counting machine. All bags are double what boxes are and usually produce better results unless it's some roll searchers dump bank.

I found an Indian in my first box...none since them! I usually find around 8-10 wheats per box, you are doing well, but I find barely any Canadians here in Oregon.

That is a very good first box. You are sure to become hooked now. Here in NH when ever I find I box with a lot of Canadian it usually also has an above average amount of wheats. I not sure why but I'm not complaining.
