In coin roll hunting, how the heck do you find something as old as 1900? Edited by MichioKaku

its mostly luck, and how often you do it. I've personally never found anything older that 1900, but I've found a 1916 Buffalo nickel and a 1920 s Lincoln Cent! keep looking and eventually you'll find something good |

Well, let's just say "Volume". Over half a million cents searched, I've found my fair share (okay, maybe a tenth) of wheat cents. I believe I have found every DATE (not MM) of wheat cents CRHing except 1922 and 1943.

Mr. ChildOfTheWheat, I have found over 120 wheat cents in searching about 30,000 cents. The oldest penny I have found was a 1909 vdb penny. Every time I go to the bank, I get 100 dollars in pennies or nickels alternately about every two or three weeks. I am thinking about increasing that to $150 per visit. How many in pennies do you get at one time and how often? Also, where do you live? It is not a creeper question, it is just that you can have exquisite exploits, but it depends on where you live in the country.

I've been searching since, oh, 10/15/14 give or take a month (lol). I started collecting on 9/13/14, as far as I know. I believe I have searched 25-30 boxes... I have found about 1,250 or so but I've sold about 400 of 'em

How many wheat pennies would you say you've found per box?, Child of the Wheat?

If I have done my math correctly, you have found about 42 wheats per box. Fly me to Omaha!!

I average about 18 per box. It really is a crappy day when I only find 5, and a good day when I find 24 or more...
