Looked through 5 rolls. Got 2 wheats - a 1955 and a 1951d (already had both). There were a bunch of 95% copper and 3 2009's which I am returning to the wild. The best find though was a 2006 Bahamas 1 cent. I have a lot of word coins, but I did not have this type of Bahamas cent - KM 218.1 so it was great for me!

I will be looking through box # 3 and #4 later. The results for box #5 and #6 are:
Box #5, Wheats: 8 Copper%: 22% Canadian: 10 2009's: 7 Interesting finds include: The 1914 cent and 1972 Bahama cent that I posted already.
Box #6, Wheats: 7 Copper%: 22.5% Canadian: 4 2009's: 4 Interesting finds include: A 1940-D hole-filler.
The finds in these last two boxes are a little disappointing, but you just wait for box #3 and #4 ;)They should make up for it.

I never know what to do with a box of new coins. I just end up taking them back, but then maybe somebody would really like the new rolls.

I took a fresh box back to another branch and the teller was excited. She said some people look for varieties and errors.... I knew that moment that id never get a loose silver half from her til. I've asked her for big dollar coins before and her response was "you mean eisenhauers".

I went to a bank today to get a box of pennies. Of course she asks why, and I told her why. She got all excited and told me that she found a 1928 and 1919 in her till before. So that was cool. She was shocked that I got so many. I didn't tell her I usually get 4 boxes at a time..
