I started searching pennies a little bit again and found some good wheat pennies. 1918, 1919d, 1930d, 1935, and 1938d. Not bad for only about $35 searched in the last few months.

Thanks Butch...go figure...I just finished another box and got 15 wheats, which is the most so far. All common 40s and 50s, but I'm not complaining!

I'm finding canadian cents of about 5 varieties, the king george 5, king george (1931), Elizabeth 2, then a newer version of that, and thats without crossing into 1982. Do people save canadian cents from 50s, 60s, 70s? Part way into a bag I'm finding more stuff in the set aside pile than in the return pile.
Anything else to look for besides wheat, indians and a 1995 double die

I just double checked, they were king george VI not V, only one of those. Do you guys count the number set aside or just put them in a container - I'm thinking weight might be a better measurement...

Just went through 8 rolls and found a 1963D in MS60 if not 60 it's AU58 for sure. Also got a 1924 wheat in AG4 and a 44 and 45 Canadian cent.

Guys,keep up the roll searching. I have been doing it for 4 years and have amassed 35+ rolls of wheats including 2 1909's and a 1907 Indian head. Also,an ms-63(my estimate) 1959D. They are still out there and the more you search the more you will find. I have also found 1-1999,4-2000 and 17-1998 WAMs in that time. It is definitely a numbers game so the more persistent you are in your search the more you will find. You will hit dry spells and want to quit but if you persist you will find good stuff!

as far as canadian pennies I keep anything pre 64 this includes 1953-1964 elizabeth pennies (the pic of the queen is small) then the king george pennies (37-52) king edward pennies (1920-1936) I live in buffalo NY and get many canadians I am only missing like 4 canadian small cents I have amassed a roll of extra george's and 3 rolls of extra 53-64 cents ****copper hoarders look up the make up of the coin too because they were copper for longer then us cents (my dates should be right, doing this off the top of my head in class lol)
