Probably around 250 boxes to be honest. I did CWR cents from 2004-2012 and had absolutely no luck for IHC. I started getting sealed MWR from Brinks in Feb. 2013 after learning I could have done this all along and scored my first indian within about 6 months of getting the box. 1907 indian!


Ironic because, last december I found about 4 indians in CWR at one bank. Oldest was an 1881 I think.

I have only found one... but I cherrish it... I have no idea even if it's valuable.. but I have never come across another here in the Great White North. I would say I was probably into no more than 20 boxes... I think I have gone through 10 times that number now.. still only one.. Used to be a box would yield approx 3-5 wheaties which I would get excited for... but that was the one and only IHC.

I just found my first about 6 weeks ago. Probably took about 15 boxes before discovering it. A full "liberty" 1903. Even my wife thought that was a cool find :)

I have gone through a little more than 62 boxes and still have yet to find one. I'm averaging 2 boxes a week with a few CWR here and there. How many boxes do you go through a week?

Got really lucky 3 in one box, box was 23 and then 1 in box 24
I stopped doing pennies without finding anymore total of 56 boxes completed.
