$10 pennies 4-5-12

[tkessler77]

3 wheat. 1 early queen elizabeth. Not many wheats per box. What is the national average for wheat per box?

i don't think it matters what you're averaging, but moreless if you're happy with your results

in my area cents are around 20-22% copper, 8-10 Wheat backs and 3-6 Canadians. These are my averages per 25.00 MWR box. These averages go up or down considerably if you aquire CWR.

After 10-12 boxes you will have a good idea.


This hobby is hit and miss. Sometimes your the windshield sometimes your the bug. Take the good with the bad an keep hunting.

i really notice the decline in shop classes accross america through my hunt for wheats, i never see newer pennies with multiple drill holes or bandsaw cuts.

Are they not in ground?

What do you mean? Wheat pennies can be found in circulation and metal detecting.

Here in DeWitt, Iowa, at USBANK I do about A box or two daily. I usually average 2 wheats per roll on a good day or usually around 25 wheats total on a bad day. I find indian heads occasionly. I find lots of BU 1960's and always keep them. I found a 1909 plain and a 1914 D recently in the same roll! I also average quite a few young portrait canadians when I hunt! Good luck!

How many do you have. I only have a few, and had a lot of BU 1970s copper ($10 of almost solid copper when I bought some pennies, only one wheatie).
