Just searched my 2,000,000th cent. Or, at least, the bag containing it. In those 2 mill, I've pulled:
19 Indian Heads: average 1/105,421 cents, though 6 were in only 2 bags so it could be closer to 1/133,533). Went through an 800k cent dry spell, and last was found 230k cents ago
7 Steelies: 1/286,142 cents, tellers pulled 2 more for me and cashier at work pulled me another
71 Proofs: 1/28,211, but I found a dump with every memorial proof in 1 bag so that throws off the average...
9333 Wheats: average 23 a bag, but median is 18 (allowing for the few dumps I've found). Record is 474 in one bag.
2 blank planchets
1 magician's coin
Will admit, stopped looking for most errors about a year ago, just don't really care about them. If I see a blatant cud or clip or something I'll still set it aside, but no longer microscoping all the key dates hoping for a DDO or something.
Foreign Coins: 26 Different "countries"
4,550 Canadians-average is 11 a bag, pulled about 80 George VI and 7 George V
20 Bahamas
14 Panama
6 Bermuda
4 Spain
3 Barbados
3 Australia
3 Norway
2 Germany
2 Nazi Germany
2 Jamaica
1 Philippines
1 Slovakia
1 Czechoslovakia
1 New Zealand
1 France
1 Brazil
1 Turkey
1 Singapore
1 Korea
1 Switzerland
1 Iceland
1 Mexico
1 Austria
1 Bulgaria
1 Poland
Now for the sad stat: 3,257. That's how many cents I've averaged per day since I began this hobby back on 3.15.2018 (615 days ago). Not to mention the 800k or so in nickels/dimes/quarters and halves since then as well. I searched my 1,000,000th cent on 2.8.19, so the last million only took 285 days, so I averaged 3,508 a day. Which is actually skewed, considering I spent 5 weeks on the road for work and another 2 weeks on vacation in that stretch. So figure closer to 3,891 a day when searching. I may need a life... Well, onto the rest of my bags! Happy Hunting Everyone!
