Hello everyone, the bank today had another $200 in hand-rolled pennies from a charity drive, I thought I had cleaned them out with the first $200 I bought a couple weeks back. Two boxes were taped up differently and they provided most of the wheats and a 1904 Indian. The others gave up ok numbers, a 1929 Canadian penny, and a Canadian penny clip error. Stats:
7 1920's (plus new to CRH date of 1926 D)
3 1930's
63 1940's
76 1950's
9 1940's Canadian
12 1950's Canadian

While updating my statistics, I found out I had found my 5000th wheat cent, equivalent to one bag! Here are some stats:
Indian heads found: 8
1891, 1895x2, 1899, 1902, 1904, 1907x2
Old Canadians found (pre-60): 477
Oldest dates: 1929, 1932, 1933, 1934

What are you going to do with 5k wheats? Must take up a lot of storage space.

Awesome!!
Do you ever keep BU cents?
I've been thinking about buying a lincoln dansco, and seeing how far i could get into filling it just from CRHing, some restrictions:
1. All memmorial cents should be BU
2. Wheats condition doesn't matter.
But serriously, thats an awesome load!!
Keep it up!

Yes, I'll keep any especially nice ones, but I don't put them in albums because they will get dull

Well over $5,193, probably several hundred dollars more, but I lost records
