Yesterdays box was a good one!. Found about 200+ BU quality early 59-81. The majority of them were 1974. Looks like someone dumped them from a collection. About 80% of the 74s found had the same exact tint.
Also found 22 Wheaties earliest was 1909 non VDB.

Nice Carlos! I'm into a box now that's similar. About 40 AU/BU 1965, 1973, and 1974 cents so far and 16 LWCs. A third of a box to go.

I missed a few nice posts - I tend to be too brief browsing with the phone. Nice '15D and quite a haul for Confederate! Good times!

ConfederateHalf: I agree. If you buy a lot of pennies, there is always something to find, unlike dimes, for example, where only silver is the main keeper. Lol

Interesting week so far, found an 1880 IHC in a sealed box of Brinks wrapped cents. Then two rolls later found a dime. Thought the dime was odd in a machine wrapped roll. Then I bought a box of mixed rolls that all the tellers pitched in to fill. Brought 16 rolls to work as I knew it would be slow, I found another dime in a CWR and a Jefferson nickel of all things. I had to use a brush to get through the green and blue crude in which it was covered. Knew that roll felt pregnant. Oh yeah, found four LWC too.

Most random box of pennies I've done in a while. 3 Wheaties, 2 40's and 1 50. Lowest count I've ever found. 1983s Proof. First ever proof found in wild 1979 Kansas counterstamp. 1st cs found in 12-15 boxes.
All in all, I guess it balanced out.

Indeed random. Sorry about the low LWC count, but you'll get a great box at some point to make up the difference. Congrats on the proof - picked up a dime in change and a nickel CRH. Fun finding them in the wild. I haven't picked up a proof cent in a while, but maybe in the next. Random chance!
