I was just looking at my past posts and realized it's been since April of 2012 since I posted any results... Still searching some, though not as hard as in past years as work, family, and life's other requirements are keeping me plenty busy as well.
Rather than give a detailed list of every bag/box/etc. that I've searched, I'll just hit the high points.

* Best $50 bag had 361 wheat cents (averaging just over 14 per $25 searched)
* Best dates were 1923-S and 1932-D
* Down to 12 left to complete the wheat cent set from CRH as the 1923-S was a new one for me.
