1 box of pennies, 17 2009, 6 canadien, 11 sf, only 4 wheats and they were all the most common ones. However the 2000 WAM made up for it

Congrats on the 2000 WAM, crazyforATB! Please post a pic if you have one. I'm still looking for my first.

Quote: I did one box tonight. 10 LWCs, and the 1928 was the best of the group: Very nice!

I went through another box of cents this weekend and found 14 LWCs and also a Panamanian cent. The two best finds were a 1916 (101 years old!) and 1937-S (a hole filler!).This is much better than a recent box that just yielded 3 LWCs.

Thanks, cldague! Thanks for the pics, crazyforATB... And aristarchus, I can relate to your "bad" cent box... The last box I got yielded all of 5 wheaties.

I've been thinking a bit about the element of randomness that is involved in CRHing. Here's an example. I've been through about 300,000 cents in the last 12 months, and just last night I found my first 1948-S. It is by no means a hard-to-find coin, judging from mint production numbers. I've been wanting to fill that hole for a while in my coin folder, and I have no idea why it has taken so long to find this one. Anyway, here it is!

So I picked up $10 in cents on my lunch break today and quickly glanced through some rolls. Two were the type that is open on one end and folded on the other. The first roll ends were a really nice 1972 on the open end and a 2009 (obverse) on the other. So far so good. Poured it out and it was a bunch of really nice coppers with several S-mints. Also had some pretty nice Zincolns. The other roll was a normal looking 1988 on the open side and a 1944 on the other. First three coins out of the roll were wheats (44, 38, 48)! This roll had a 7 2009's and one more wheat(1934). Those were the only two of that type of roll I got, so I might go back after work and see if they have more. Nothing exciting in the other rolls, although I need to look for WAMs. I'll try to get some pics tonight!

Whhhoooaaaah X 2 !! The box just yielded at 2nd IHC! The first was 1906 and the second is 1900. Crazy times!  I have a few rolls left, and I'll give a final update with a close up of the coins tonight. UPDATE: Here's #3 from the box: 1904!
