$50 worth pennies and happy with results

[xlt fan]

I have been getting skunked on dimes and halves lately so i got 5000 pennies and managed 10 wheats. oldest was 1936. Im a little more encouraged now so ill try dimes and halves again soon.

sorry but i have to agree
im in NY and i average 16 wheats per box, with some boxes with as many as 20-25 wheats

i picked up another box today and we'll see what happens. That was the first pennies i had looked through in a long time(like several yrs). i would be VERY happy if i got 20 wheats per box.

I average about 7-8 per box here in the midwest from Brinks boxes. They are always 1940's and 1950's too. There isn't much old stuff around here.
