Hey everyone. I have been coin roll hunting nickels and pennies up here in Canada for about two years now and currently get two boxes of pennies every week to sort through. This week I had my most incredible find to date. One of the boxes appears to have well over 2000 Wheat pennies! I have never found anything close to this before and thought I would share it with you all. I make videos of all of my finds week-to-week, so you can see the box and the contents of the first 5 rolls in this video here:

I also took a few pictures:

I will keep this thread updated with the totals as I go through the box.

Awesome finds Canada. PM me when you have a chance. I am curious as to how you got the box, where, etc. (especially in Canada). Thanks!

Excellent find. Congrats. An even better find if those rolls were unsearched.

Nice find! Someone must have "cleaned house". It has been a long time since I have seen paper coin rolls thanks to the plastic sleeves that we get from the bank. Our banks in OKC won't take customer rolled coin and will direct you to the coin counting machine to make your "deposit".

Sealed box is a box from bank in sealed cardboard.

Excellent find. Give us a run-down on anything interesting- any 10s, 20s, 30s? Steel cents? Or all commons from 40s/50s?

Thank you very much guys for all of your kind words so far! It is greatly appreciated. I am just finishing up going through the first 250 pennies, so the results will be up shortly and I'll definitely provide a run down of them. Thank you again!
