Last time I got cents I got solid boxes of 2015-D, so it's been a while, but I decided to try again today. I'm glad I did- I'm three rolls in, and I already have five wheats. To be fair, I picked two of the rolls because they had enders, but each still had one wheat inside. Of those, two are very nice looking woodies, including the oldest coin, a 1917-D. And that's just three rolls.

I'm surprised that any 1943 steel cents remain in circulation ... so congratulations to you for finding two of them.

My logic here is that all of the modern 'dump' coin machines have the ability to capture the magnetic coins and not deposit them into the appropriate denomination bag ...

My theory is this is intended to capture the foreign coins ... but it will also capture all 1943 steel cents.

Soooo ... over time the 1943 steel cents are slowly being removed from circulation.

Well found.

Two steelies in a roll is indeed an awesome find! In my 40+ years of being in the hobby, only once have I encountered one in change. That was at a Carl's Jr off I-10 in Eloy AZ about 12 years ago. And, I have yet to find one in a roll.

Excellent finds folks, especially that stunning 57D and the 17D. Very nice!

David - to your point, the last steel cent I found was in a nickel roll. But then the last silver dime I found was in a roll of cents...and gold Ducat in a nickel roll...the things we find...and where!

Nice find, Numisma. I rarely get ender wheats... what I do is weigh my rolls, and search them from heaviest to lightest. Usually, the wheats show up earlier that way.

And GREAT roll, Mightyheaths! TWO steelies in one roll is amazing! I'd go back and see if that teller has more of those CWR.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Well, it seems that my luck (at least in terms of wheats) ran out right after that last post. After five in the first three rolls, I got three more in the first half of the box and none in the second.

Wheats (8):
1917-D (woody)
1940 (woody)
1942-S
1945
1946-S
1952
1955 (poor man's doubled die)
1958-D

Canadian (12):
1958
1965 (small beads, blunt 5)
1973
1979
1981 x2
1984
1991
1992
1996
2002 (zinc)
2006 (zinc)

2009 x2
-log cabin
-rail splitter
2009-D x25
-log cabin
-rail splitter x8
-statesman x15
-white house

1988 w/ lots of parallel die scratches on the reverse
1992 MAD
2013-D brass plated
2016 plain (my first)

At one point I opened a roll and saw a steel-colored edge, which got my hopes up, but it turned out to be a 1988-D with the edge plating scraped off.

Well, now it's nickel time.

So I decided to get a box of pennies which I haven't done in a while, and got a pretty good haul. Number-wise I got 16 wheats and 7 Canadians.
The pre-1940 wheats were a 1917, a 1920 and a 1936-D
Fun thing is, the 36-D is a hole filler
From the Canadians, I got a 1955, 1976, 1985, 1985, 1986 (hole filler too ), 1991, and 2000.

Not my greatest in terms of volume, but I got some new coins for my folders!

(finding wheat hole fillers has been hard since I got nearly all the common dates from buying wheat rolls from coin stores. Only missing the 55-S)

Pictures pending.
