good ideas. I tried today at two banks, and could only get one box. I could look for others tomorrow. Do some mining for sure! I did get the sense that they had one more box but didnt want to give it up, like it might be the last. When the next shipments come in, they might give up that first box. They all have the same stamp # on it. I assume that is batches from delivery trucks and these 2 banks use the same truck deliveries. still to new to know what the heck is happening.

also I kept 4 or 5 s mints that were not wheats. I'm gonna tally up all of my wheats to see what I've got. Prob make piles of 20s, 30s, etc. more coin fun since I have nothing to search at the moment.

also it comes out to 1.5 wheats per roll for 200 rolls!

Ive got a new box, but it not from the same batch.... hopefully I will be able to pull some out of here. Time for reality to set in! My head is still in the wheat clouds


*** update *** pulled 11 wheats out of this box. A nice, normal count. I will still try to find some more of the good boxes. If I get any more good boxes, I will post here, otherwise I will take it to the other threads :-)

ok, I went back to the bank and they were not happy to see me again, heh. I broke out 8 bags of m&ms and now all of them love me. They checked and gave me the last 2 boxes of this special batch (at this bank). I'm not sure if any more are around.

I just opened the first box and there are 10 wheat ender rolls :-) This is going to be a fun night. Chocolate sealed the deal for sure.

thanks all for the coinspiration, I could not have picked a better batch to make my CRH return!


***update, first box had an amazing 198 wheats. I found my oldest yet in the batch, a nice 1916, and filled a hole in my book.

2nd box has 9 rolls with wheat ends. Must keeping opening.

Yep, cleaned em out today. Got about another 330 wheats today across the two boxes. My math was off a penny or two. I also got one roll with 12 wheats in it today, the new record. The 2nd box filled 3 holes in the book. 1921, 1937d, and 1953s. This book is from coins found in circulation throughout my life, gonna keep working on it.

The first box only had 2 rolls without a wheat. 2nd box had 4 rolls without.

Possibly I might be able to squeeze one more of these from another bank once their new shipment arrives. Not sure when I will be able to get there. I don't have a car, I hike these coins around the city and home, and lots of work coming up.

That makes about 630 new wheats in the collection since last Friday.... hard to believe it!
