I've been searching fed rolls of cents for many years. Expect one Wheat cent per every six rolls. That's how you judge how your fed rolls are running. From my humble experience, anyway... |

That's pretty much in line with what I've been seeing. Your results seem a tad high, but not really out of line - especially for just one data point. I average 6 wheats per box, 2 foreign, and around $3.63 in copper per box. I don't keep track of 2009s or 2010s though.

Congrats on your first box.
I usually pull about 14-16 wheats p/box - seems high, but I've had as many as 31 in box and as few as 1.
I get quite a few Canadians considering I'm in FL, but I attribute that to the blue hairs that come down every winter.
As for the 09's and 10's. I only keep the BU 09's and none of the 10's. I have quite a few rolls of the 10's that are uncirculated, so I just put them back in circulation when I find one.

I got two boxes recently and it was like 10 wheat, 25 canadian, 25 2009. (this was early 2010 so no 2010)

Put the stats in the roll searching thread. I'll be happy if they continue to have that many, only 2 boxes into searching boxes... Not seeing that many 2009/2010's though. |

dang, sounds like some of you guys are doing really good, that is awsome to hear, I can see how this could be very addicting, and to me it seems as though your guarenteed not to loose money only make money as long as you put forth the effort, my problem is I am sure I will be want to keep most of my collection, and probaly won't sell as much as I could, but oh well, builiding a collection is half the fun
