Beat penny box in a while

[ugotit22]

Hit a nice penny box this AM. Many 8-7 wheat rolls.
Total
80 wheats with a bunch of 20s and 30s.
Some teens oldest was 1914

best wheat box back in 2014------ 144 found--- enough to feed Rosie O'Donnell for 2 hours

got an '09 from reject tray once--- sold for $10

my LCS pays 2 cents for common wheats with no green rot---- sold many rolls to him at 2X face,

the early Coppahs can yield up to a buck (no fawns allowed) or two---- as with young floozies and even older ladies------- condition is everything ---- just ask Bill Cosby

This hobby is therapy for alot of us. I love going out bank hopping. Lots of times I take my son with me. Boxes you got to take the good with the bad. I've had a lot of skunk boxes but also some very good ones (still looking for my first dream box). The thrill of one good box makes up for 10 skunks.
As far as stacking. I decided to do something nice for my wife (and me). With my not worth your time hobby I am having my wife pick out granite counter tops to replace the old formica tops and having the kitchen cabinets refinished. Painted white over the old oak that she always hated.
I know this is not the best time to sell but, I'm only selling about half my stack and there is still alot more out there to find.
I have also put together an almost complete Whitman Franklin half dollar book and 25 coins in my Walking Liberty half dollar book.
For me it has not been a waist of time. My wife jokes with me saying that I took a hobby and turned it into and obsession.
She is pretty happy with getting a new kitchen. Plus, it should bring up the value of our house should we ever sell.
HH and keep stacking

I've actually found two 14-Ds before. One of them even graded AU-58. I find them when I look through junk collections and wheats at my LCS.

That's pretty cool. It's amazing what coin dealers leave lying around in their bargain bins, etc. I once pulled a real diamond ring out of a Cracker Jack box. A week later, I bought a pack of hockey cards at Kmart and pulled a Michael Jordan rookie out of it! And he doesn't play hockey! You and I seriously need to start playing the lottery.

The lottery is just a tax on stupid people.

My vote is that we rename "successful" boxes "Death&Taxes" boxes because the whole hobby is a waste of time. You can make more money and have more fun doing literally anything else. Stop wasting away your lives for a few measly wheaties.

Your wasting plenty of your time posting on this forum for free. Move on!
