those of you who have searched CWR, are there good finds or is it slim? I feel like if customers wrapped them then there won't be anything good cause they will have seen them. am I wrong?

If I have a choice at a bank I always take the CWR's. It really is a crap shoot though...just always think I'm gonna find someones hoard...just my humble opinion.

Ricardo nice IHC I really like them things, I pick one up off of ebay every now and then. Koin Kid I believe that is called a delamination. If I got that wrong someone please set the record straight. I would rather have CWR's with them its kinda like fishing for that trophy speckled trout all or nothing. |

You guys have been searching longer than I have, but so far I have had better luck with customer wrapped rolls. One customer wrap had all pre 90 canadian. And two CWR were pre 80 lincoln cents. Certainly not all wheats but all copper. Clearly this person was cashing in on an old stash. I also got a CWR roll that was all 1963, but then I got a CWR at the same time that was all 1995. I have no idea why this person would seperate by date and then return to the bank.

I've been on a wheatie binge lately. My last three boxes have yielded at least 25 wheat cents per, well above my average of 8-12 each.
I decided to pick up yet another box today just to see if my awesome luck would continue, and well.. I go to the bank, get the box, get back to my office, bust it open, and find five rolls with enders.
Here's the final tally;
Rolls without wheats; 26
Rolls with; 24 (5 ender rolls)
About 30% copper... really fell off in the non-wheat heavy rolls.
And 67 Wheaties.
