I buy a box and search them. It takes a lot of time and coins to find any good errors.

peyton20081985,
Finding one IH per box is very rare so your doing GREAT.You are more likely to find varieties then you are errors.I don't know what the % are 10:1 or 100:1. I go through about one box per week that I buy from my local bank.Good luck with your hunting.

Determine if you want to buy bank rolled or customer rolled cents...

buy rolls of cents wherever you go...bank, convenience store, grocer, anyone who has a roll...buy them from time to time...you'll find what you're looking for in variety and error relative to how expansive your knowledge about them is.

I've found that using just one source for (customer) rolled coins in our small town means I'm getting rolled coins from fewer people at that source.

I like bank and customer rolled cents.

"Only" and "41 Indian pennies" don't really go together!
