My second box was not quite as interesting as my first:
US Cents: 37 41 41-S 42 46-S 51 53-S 54-D 55-D 56-D 69-S (2) 70-S (2) 71-S 72-S
Canadian Cents: 62 77 79 80 (2) 84 86 98 99 (2) 00
I got this one in Milwaukee while running some errands up there.

Worst box yet, only got 2 wheats and the rest splite between copper and zinc. Well I guess that makes up for that great box I told you about or maybe I have clean up on all the wheats in this area!

Pat: I am from the north suburbs of Chicago, but get up past the cheddar curtain often. I have been getting my boxes at Chase branches and will likely dump at a CoinStar with the iTunes option to avoid the fee.
My wife is really getting into this! She had a blast going through the first box, and is now begging me to get more. She also wants to branch off into nickels. She told me that we should go through 4 or 5 more boxes of cents then dump the leftovers and get a box of nickels...

I love finding counter-stamps. My daughter and I haven't found any in a long time. On a different note, I am super excited because I am leading our Pennies-for Patients drive at school/work. Can you just see a classroom full of kids searching cents. It will look like a sweatshop for penny hoarders. Haha!

Hey n9jig.....I'm south of you in Northwest Indiana...I use Chase, too. All of my WAMS have come from String Boxes from Chase, including 2 1999 WAMS! LOTS OF 98'S AND 00'S!
Will Chase, up there, let you buy coin off of their coin machines? Much easier than opening the rolls.
