Back when I actively searched rolls (1990's) I found a lot of wheat cents. I had an insider at the bank who would alert me when "something good" was deposited. I acquired a lot of solid Wheat cent rolls this way. They were all common dates; I did not find anything special. |

So I went to the bank and got 50 CWR's. All I found was some copper pennies. No Wheats or anything  But I did go to the bank where I found 138 wheats and got 2 more sealed boxes of pennies. I went through one and found 59 Wheats!  I still have another box to go through tomorrow. I also found this wheat could it be a struck through capped die? I found one of these coins already and they are a little similar.  |

I average one in every $2.50. Doesn't seem to matter if I search cwr or machine wraps, also the quantity I search doesn't seem to change my average. I have found about 2.5 rolls so far with the oldest a 1910.

Yesterday, I traded some of my 50cent rejects for 3 rolls of pennies. One roll from a Dollar General in Castle Hayne and later got 2 rolls from a Dollar General in Rocky Point, NC. I found a fair amount of copper from 60's and 70's. The nice finds were 2 wheats out of 3 rolls plus a Canadian from 1985. The first wheat was 1940 and the second one was a 1948S.

I generally get 10 or so per box. I went through $350 in December and found a box that not only had about 100 wheats, but a full roll from a private bank that was hand stamped 1970. Real cool finds.

When you guys say box of pennies, are the pennies loose in the box or is it like a box of rolls ?

Thanks ! So far I havent found any boxes but my wife is hooked now and she's checking banks. Haha, MrLexMark got us hooked this past weekend. We did find 13 wheaties in an old beer bottle bank that held about 70 dollars worth.

I probably average about ten wheats per box.
