I have been given the "unfortunate" task of combing through approximately twenty pounds (yes pounds) of wheat cents over the next few days or weeks. Someone at work gave me the coins today and on top of the pile I've already seen a half dozen 43s, two of which look to be UNC. If I find anything interesting I will be sure to report.

Sounds like a very fun project, Wishing you the best of luck in finding something interesting, Heard a lady in the last month or so found a 1969 S Double Die searching bank boxes. There are good ones still out there

That is definitely not an average week for me, SsDd! But, I'm going to have fun with it. To be clear, these coins do not belong to me. I was asked to look them over for the owner, fill their Dansco with the best of the bunch, and will get to keep any extras. This will probably take me until Christmas to finish if I maximize my after work time. Hope there is something special in the pile.

I start by grouping by decade, then break it down from that point... Hopefully you have ample spare jars to sort pennies in! - and put aside any nice ones with original mint luster!
