Oysterk, That is one nice find  I hope you know that if you get a box of $25 pennies you should come up with 10-15 wheats avg. But....... Every once in a while you'll find a box with 40 or 50 or even 250!! It will and does happen! I love click clacking pennies because you never get skunked and you always find something that makes you think...."I just saved this awesome coin from circulation"!  Circulation..Bad!! Hoarding coins...Good!!

7/15 Results • 2500 coins searched • 394 coppers (16%, very low for a second box) • 5 LWCs (lowest yield to date; nothing special) • 40 LMCs (28 Zincolns and only 12 coppers, nothing special) • 2 S mint • 14 D mint (AU, nothing special) • 10 Foreign (all Canadian) • 4 potential varieties to research
This was a sad box overall (I didn't get skunked Mr. C, but it was feeling like I would). Several nice Zincolns in the mix so it gave a chance at producing a high grade variety but it didn't. Better luck next time I hope as this was the second poor box in a row.

 Nothing like it!  Here is the problem with this thread and this coin forum(If you want to call it a problem  ) I was perfectly fine with going home tonight without any pennies to click clack!! Now I'm about to go to the bank and get $50 in pennies!! I love my addiction!!

30 or so rolls looked through, some off center strikes, a few wheats (including the 1909), and a 1969 D no FG. Not bad for my first box! :D Also, do you guys keep the canadian cents you find?

I've kept the Canadian coins I've found (nickels and pennies) for a future endeavor - stick them in an album. I've a couple hundred of each and still, no album. fastgc - if you're only going to find one, it may as well be old or an S mint. I have been averaging a little over 1 LWC for every 2 rolls. Are you also checking for varieties?

Everything was 40's and 50's except for a 1919, 1929, and a 1936. I got a really nice 1972s and a couple of other good coins.

That way you will always have a hole to fill!   Man, that is a great idea!  I think I'm going to go out and buy another wheat folder.
