Halfway through a box, out pops my first proof cent, a 1987S! What's happening here?! I have found three proofs in my life, two dimes a this cent, and they have all been 1987S....
BTW, my first roll had two wheats, I was like this is going to be good, but so far I've got 5

Finished off the box, here are the results: Wheats: 17, 4 rolls had 2 each, oldest was 1935 but I found a 1949 that was a hole filler Copper: 24.64%, roll high: 22 roll low: 6 Proof: My first proof    1987S, the only date for a proof I have ever found. BTW. it's unrecognizable as a proof, I would have never know if it hadn't been an S mint. Nice rainbow toning though All in all good day

Well that stings a little....been doing either $25 or $50 a week for a couple of months and only got a couple wheaties from before '35. My 17 year old son goes accross the street today, buys $10 in rolls and finds a 1910 and a 1925 right in front of me. Figures!! Oh well, good for him. ;).

Pat Cowles: that's typical. I roll search all the time and on occasion when my wife helps she finds all the good stuff. it's a curse, the non collectors get the good finds.

oh, by the way, a little off topic though, I picked up a 1953 wheat the other day right on the street! just beside the curb, along with 3 zinc pennies and a nickel. I really can't believe it.

i just remembered why I stopped searching cents. I havent done a box in a while since my last 4 boxes averaged 2-6 wheats per box. I finally got another one after a couple months of not doing cents. I've done 30 out of 50 rolls. copper is below 20% as usual for me and so far I have 4 wheats all in the 50's. and looking for WAM's is impossible in san diego. they are pretty much non existent. i'll probably go back to dimes tomorrow.
