These are my best finds going back to early 2017. It was probably around 40 boxes. I found some impressive older coins! They were all spread out-not all one monster box. 1934 Canadian, dateless LWC reverse worn completely smooth, 1895, 1896, 1906, 1907, 1909 V.D.B.,1911, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1916d, 1918d, 1919s, 1921, 1925s, 1926d, 1929s, 1934d, 1935d,1936d, 1936s, 1937s, 1938d, 1944 lamination peel, 1948, 1948s, 1949d, 1957d, 1967. I just counted 79 pre-1940 coins and 23 of those are pre-1920.

Sich0015 a those are great finds! IHCs are really hard to find. The 1909 is amazing, and the George V is great also!

So you got half of a Wheat cent?  (Four rolls is 200 cents.)

I did a box today with my son, and these two were the best: 1926-P and a shiny 1951-D. We also found a 1929-P in awful shape and now it is sitting in acetone.

Finished my most recent box last night. Nothing to write home about. Typical wheats from 30s, 40s and 50's. Unusually high total though of 29 wheats.

Found a half roll of wheats today while searching through a box. Note the 1917 D up in the top left corner. I'm averaging anywhere between 7-14 wheats a box now!

I've also found a 1911 D and a 1903 (Toasty) IHC this year.

I think it is still fun to find wheat cents.

Went through a box last week, and it produced pretty well. 16 wheat pennies, mostly 40's and 50's. Did get a 1920, 1929D and a 1936. 10 Canadians and one additional 2017P penny. We've only found 2 of those 2017's so far.

I live closest to the Philadelphia Mint, so I find entire roll of UNC 2017 P pennies. The oldest penny I have found in a bank roll was a 1937 penny, but I have only been doing this for several weeks.
