It certainly took me long enough but I finally finished going through all 50 rolls in the $25 box (Strunk #5943). Here's what I netted:

15 Wheats: 1934, 1936, 1940, 1942, 1942D, 1947, (3) 1944, 1946 w/ green corrosion, 1955D, 1956, 1956D, 1958, and a 1956 with a tiny hole drilled through the E in CENT.

5 Canadians: 1964, 1975, 1985, 1992, and 2002

A bunch of 1970's that I still have to look at to separate out for Large and Small date variations.

(3) 2009 Formative Years, including 1 which I believe has one of the "extra finger" doubled die errors. My loupe wasn't strong enough to make a definitive evaluation but it's closest to either WDDR-017 or -058 in the Wexler catalog, but with different die markers. I contacted John and am sending him the coin in the morning to confirm.

I know that the shipping costs and the $3 attribution charge will likely be more than the cent will prove out to ever be worth even if the error is confirmed, but if I can get confirmation that I own a true doubled die then that's money well spent.

Yeah. Late night mental typo there. I was thinking $25 box = 50 rolls and it came out 25 rolls.
