Happy New Year everyone. I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe holiday. I took a break last week from my everyday searching and visited my parents in Florida. As a result, this post is for 2 weeks of searching.

#14(For you cent searchers)
I asked the teller for $10 in cents. She immediately starts setting aside 7 machine rolls that had wheat enders for me, then randomly pulled 13 more rolls. This must have been a collection turned in. Totals for the 13 rolls that had nothing showing were 20 wheats(1 roll had 13 wheats). Of the 7 rolls that had enders,1 had 19 wheats, 1 had 18 wheats, 2 had 17 wheats each,2 had 16 wheats each, and the remaining 1 had 6 wheats. There was a 1919,(2)1923,1925,(2)1929,1929-S,1930,1934,(2)1935,(3)1936,1937,1938, and 1939. There were 52 from the 1940s and 75 from the 1950s. The total wheats out of 20 rolls were 144. I may check back at this branch Monday to see if I can buy the rest of the box.(Correction, i noticed i had 8 rolls with wheat enders but you get the idea)
#15-$10 in cents(Garda)5 common wheats, 1996 Bermuda coin
#16-Box of nickels(Brinks)3 war (2)43-P,44-P, and a 1937 Buffalo
-Box of cents(Brinks)15 wheats including a 43 steel,6 Canadian, a 2007 Panama coin, and a 2 Euro coin
Thanks for reading. Wishing everyone has a happy New Year.MM2
MM 2,
Nice work, you put in some effort to work all those! I think you did well in both cents and nickles. Really like the "V" back nickle, I've worked a lot of boxes of nickles and have only found one. You also slayed the Buffalo nickles!
I worked some rolls when I was home with my dad this past Spring. The real pay-off is that quality time shared with family.
Wish you the best in the new year,
Steve

Nice haul on the nickels.. One of these days, I'm going to search a box of nickels for the fun of it. You guys look like a bunch of coin dealers with all those coins on the table and magnifying glasses. Nice Nickel box.
Glad you still have your dad around to hunt with. Mine has been gone for 10 years. Maybe when my son gets older (9 months old now), he and I can CRH.
Good score on the nickels and wheaties
