for a bank box of pennies i'd say 110 wheats is outstanding. my average is about 8.33 wheats per box. This was NOT a box it was only the first 8 rolls. Now half a box 25 rolls 281....wheat's oldest 1934-38-39 rest 40's 50's 514....1960-69 a lot of 64-65-67-68-69 ms condition 161....Canadian all 1951 - 1966 I think I hit someone getting rid of their old coins and they end up in one box. Now to do the rest of the box, it will take a couple of days for that.  |

you must have got someones old stash or a really old box. your numbers are waaaaaay over average. I've only done about 15 boxes by my best for an entire box is 17 wheats, then my next best is 13, and my worst is 4. so i'd get another box from the same place you got that first box if I were you.

That is insane! Relish it because that sounds like a once in a lifetime box! Hope you find another 200!

I would not get to used to pulling that many. I'm sure your next box will be a lot lower unless your bank has had those boxes for 20 years

Were these customer wrapped or from the Fed?

good question. Is there way to get pennies from out of your local area? I have probably searched $2000 pennies in my days and I am finding less and less coppers. I have 2 banks and I use both but I still feel like I'm getting my old pennies back
