I just recently heard of CRH and decided to give it a try I bought a $50 bag of pennies and 7 more rolls from the teller. Here is what I got...

17s, 37, 44s, 45, 46, (3) 46s, 47s, 48, 48s, 49d, 50, 51s, 52d, 53s, 55d, (3) 56d, 57d, 58, (3) 58d
and one 71-d kennedy penny (I had never heard of these before).

Gotta try some of those half dollars everyone is talking about next...

Yep that is exactly what I got. I thought someone was playing around and marking coins to see where thay would show up. Hubby said he had heard of them so I looked it up on line. Cool addition to have :)

Those are pretty good totals for $50 worth.

I typically get between 8 and 10 wheat pennies per $25 worth, though nowhere near the number of S-mints which seem to carry a slight premium as they are harder to find for most of the country.
