I stopped at a bank today I only stop at once every month or so. Picked up $25 worth of cents. Checked the ends, 3 wheat enders turned up, so the batch was showing good signs already.  Started going through a few, the normal. Then, I hit a roll that felt unusually heavy. Cracked it open, 95% of the cents were pre-70s copper!  Few rolls later, I hit another heavy one... the same thing! At that time, I grabbed my scale and weighed the other rolls. 10 of the total 50 rolls ended up being 95% or greater pre-70's copper. The teller had brought the coins out to me in 5 10-roll trays. I figure they all came from one tray. I ended up with 40 wheat cents from those 10 rolls alone.(another 8 from the other 40). My previous record of wheaties per $25 was 21, so this blew my mind!     *note all were 40s and 50s except the 1927. In these rolls also came my first clipped planchet!  Edited by ty88ty2

I like the clipped planchet even more than the wheaties--well done!
