Perhaps someone's Wheat cent stash was stolen...and cashed in.. and CanadaCoinHunting reaped the benefits. Who really knows how they got in the box? I find it interesting.

Did you get any old Canadian pennies or just wheats? Amazing find either way though!

Just watched the video, that's incredible. And to think that was just 5 rolls. Can't wait to see the next 45.

Fantastic. Good plan to look through the rolls one by one.

I suggest you look through all those 1936's to be certain none of them are DDO.

Looking forward to the follow-up.

Hey guys. So sorry that I have not been able to update the thread. The end of August was extremely hectic for me as I tried to finish work and then prepare to move across the country (of Canada) for school. I was able to film and take pictures of the results before I left and I finally have my internet working in my new apartment, so I post the full results with the pictures and videos now.

Here are the results for the first five rolls. There were a lot of Wheats from the teens, which was pretty shocking. The other interesting thing was that there were 255 pennies in total, which means there were 51 in each roll instead of 50.

1910, 1914, 1916x15, 1917x20, 1918x34, 1919x29, 1930x4, 1934x11, 1935x12, 1936x22, 1937x15, 1938x16, 1939x23, 1942Sx1, 1944Sx11, 1945Sx1, 1946Sx8, 1947Sx1, 1950Sx1, 1951Sx21, 1952Sx2, 1953Sx4, 1944Dx1, 1950Dx1
