Today I went through a nice $50 bag of cents. When I first cut open the bag, I could see wheaties just sitting on top. Wheaties were pretty evenly spread out over the entire bag. I seemed to get wheat in every handful. Total came to 214 wheaties! A new record for me. The coins were mainly 36-58. 1911 being the earliest. No key dates unfortunately, but still amazing. Enjoy!

Congrats, I've been doing a lot of pennies recently hoping to fill my folders. Looks like you can start one after that box!

Congratulations to you Hoose :thumbsup:! Have not seen you lately, glad you are still at it... Good luck, Gpurs...

Thanks! Yep, I took a three month vacation from the hobby. I got a promotion at work which switched me from midnight shift to days. Also, I was getting continuous skunk half boxes and just got a little burnt out. (But, I still checked into the forums occasionally to see what everybody was finding.) Now, with a little encouragement from dandow20, I am back at it. (watch out IN CRHer's, daddy's back) :wink:

It has been good to take the time off. It allowed for the local silver to build back up and for my back to heal from haulin' all those skunky halves back to the bank. ;D Now it's time for me to get back out there and clean up again.

Good luck all!
