Pretty impressive.
I believe I will stop w/ the half dollar searching because I'm getting skunked w/ them more often than not.
At least with pennies, there is still stuff out there that can be found.

Total count out of this box is 244 wheats. 54 of them were teens(all dates represented except 1915). 37 of them were from the twenties. 22 of them were from the thirties and the remainder were from the forties and fifties. In addition to the wheaties, I found 36 S-mint coins(most from 68). The remaining coins in this box were all pre 1976. This box came from US Bank(inside Meijer) in Eastgate, Ohio. The more I think about this box, the more I wonder if these coins came from a collector who was down on his luck or from some thief who didn't know what he had. There was definitely some hard work put into sorting all of these coins.

I don't know how I forgot to mention it but there were 4 1909 wheaties in this box too. 2 of which were VDB  . I will post pics of them soon. After finishing this box, I started into one of the sealed Brinks boxes. Within the first 3 rolls I found one wheatie and my second ever 2000 WAM  . My wife says this is my lucky day. For once I have to agree. These have been the best roll finds in my life! |

Very nice!  Someone cashed in their collection (probably inherited) and you saved these cents from a fate worse than death. |

Actually, I was thinking of the aftermath from something more sinister.
