I did a box of nickles and pennies...

[BurnedSpy]

...and from the penny box, I got about 23 wheats, the earliests ones being 1919, and 1920. from the nickles box, I got about 18 pre-60's, one being a 43p war nickle, and i also found a '73s proof.

That proof is a great find, ecpecially when its in your first box. I was lucky enough to find a cent proof once, i could have missed some though since the only thing i look for is wheats, errors and such are only picked out if its eaisly visable. It isn't too fun when you need turn over every coin to look at the date.
