I just finished my first box and was fairly satisfied with it. I found a total of 16 wheat cents with the following dates: 1919 1941d 1946s 1948 1950d 1951d 1952d 1953d 1954d 1955 x2 1956 1956d 1957 1957d x2
I also found several nice older Red/Red Brown cents including: 1959 1960d 1961d 1962 1966 1970 1967
I'll post some pics later.

Went through about 10 rolls out of my box late last night. Found five wheats and three 2009s so far. One wheat was a 1930 with a nice color but smoothed out lincoln head. Hopefully the rest of the box will be good and wheatie.

I knocked out 4 boxes this week. 48 wheats with some pre-1940 ones included. A 1919D,1920,1928,1934,1937,1939S. 24 from the 40's and 18 from the 50's. Got a plastic penny, and a 2000 Barbados cent. And, one of those counterstamped Kennedy's.

Yes...a plastic play penny....what, you've never found one yet? I guess you need to search more coins. I've found 5 or 6 penny ones and 1 dime. It's amazing the quality control Brinks has. All were found in Brinks rolls.

I guess I'm lucky with plastic. I just wish I was luckier with key wheats!

HoosierDaddy, right now I would be happy to get some decent fillers for my wheats. Would think with alot of us doing 2-3 boxes and more a week that at least some nice semi-keys would show up. Myself have yet to find a semi-key or any kind of a variety or error. Haven't even found a nice struck through in a couple of months now. Luck will change here soon.

Yepper...I think this week I'll find something. I've been really good this past week or so. Come on Karma! I helped a VERY elderly old lady into Best Buy by carrying in her returned computer. She was taking baby steps and all of those people just ignored her and walked around her. I didn't think twice. At first, when I asked her if I could help her, she grabbed her purse. My next thought was she was going to clobber me. She just got her purse out of the way and smiled. Personally, I don't think she would have made it to the return counter. Then, secondly, I found the perfect Christmas present for mom. Now it was a late gift but it will be hard to top. She got to go see an Elvis tribute concert on the King's birthday. It was a big show with a dinner buffet. Tickets were $80+. But the joy she got from the show....priceless. I enjoyed the show, too, but got more enjoyment watching her and knowing it was the perfect Christmas gift. So, I'm DUE! Come on Karma!
