Not weird in my area, I always find more wheats than S mints here.

More wheats than S by far hear. My average box is about 20-30 wheats at least. Maybe 1 or 2 S mint in every box?

Here in Tennessee I usually get between 5 to 10 wheat pennies and 3 to 10 S mintmark pennies per box (Brinks). Customer rolls I get less wheat and S mintmarks but better quality BU zinc pennies so it trades off nicely. I like pretty pennies even if they are newer. A beautiful coin will stay that way when properly cared for. Most of the wheats and coppers and S mintmarks are well circulated and only rarely worth more than a couple pennies each.

i usually get 15-30 wheats and about 12-15 "s" mint. and usually at least 2 of them are S mint Wheats. I'm sure I miss a few S mints too. I mainly look for wheats to fill my album

Shields are showing up pretty regular, I've had over 10 in each of the last two boxes I did.
SD - you get more S mints due to your location as it wasn't as far for them to travel. Us East Coasters see all of the P's and more wheats.

I found my first 2010 in circulation - a 2010-D from a take a penny/leave a penny tray. I didn't have any other pennies in my pocket so I left a nickel. I guess it cost me 4 cents technically, but I don't mind!

Another uneventful cent box. I don't usually keep toned coins but this one held my fascination long enough for me to grab my camera. it's not perfect...has a couple of spot on both sides, but it's such a pretty little thing I had rescue it from circulation

Eagle - I found another 1919 today too - in AG/G condition. That is one of those in 3 of the last 4 boxes. I'm only about 14 rolls in, average box so far......
