Kefiroth, 113 wheats in 1 box is awesome.  Beats my personal record of 71. I went through several Brink's boxes this evening. Found quite a few wheats, and few George VI Canadians. Along with what I believe to be a 1960P small date.

3-cent, thats awesome!! Bowfin looks good to me, but to be sure put it beside some other 1960 coins and the difference should be very apparent especially in the length of the tail on the 6.

Hey everyone, just got done with another great box. (brinks shrink-wrapped to be exact) Found a couple of nice goodies. Found a total of 11 wheats. All common dates except for one: a 1915-D! It's only about VG-8, but it's corrosion free and a hole filler so I'll take it!  Now after finding the '15-D, I was satisfied and told myself that anything else would just be icing on the cake. Good thing this cake (penny box) had a lot of icing! About halfway through the next roll after the one I found the '15 in, I discovered my first IHC: a 1905! It grades a solid G-4, and is thankfully completely corrosion free! Dance fruit, dance!     I'd post pictures but I'm afraid you'd only be able to see blurry discs as I have lousy cameras. Oh yeah, also pulled a yucky looking 1990 canadian if anyone cares.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention my other neat find. (I was too pumped about the IHC I guess) I found what appears to be a 1972 DDO. It's not the big one of course, but the doubling is visible even w/o magnification. It's not in that great condition and has a little verdigris problem under lincoln's chin. Going to have to sit down with a microscope and CherryPickers Guide to figure this one out.

Nice finds with the Indian Heads! They seem to be popping up lately. I like that 1960p small date too. I'm still looking for one. Box 1: 54% copper including about 2 rolls of BU coins from 1959 through 1964 all with a d mintmark 38 wheaties including a nice 1927d 1 very minor 1974d clipped planchet Box 2: 33% copper 12 wheaties including a very beat up 1917d

After scrutinizing it under a microscope, and comparing with the CherryPickers Guide photos, along with some certified examples on ebay, I have concluded that the 1972 in question is in fact a 1972 DDO #8! Now if only Lincoln hadn't died his beard green.

You guys are lucky. I've never found an IHC, or any cent older than 1938 for that matter, while roll searching. Man, the banks in my area suck...

My grandson and I went through about 30 rolls this weekend. He has filled book #2 except a 1972s and book #3 except the 09 D's. At only 10 years old, he has a lot of patience and having a blast. His excitement at finding the coin he needs is addicting.

jeffatNJC, is it just me, or is that second 1960P a small date?
