10-20 wheats per box and a good shot at an Injun! Good luck!

I look at that picture and I think "time". Haha, enjoy the hunt! Can't wait to see the results. Can you include "time searched" with the results too? I want to know for future reference.

Looks like you've got your whole weekend booked solid now.

 

[ArkieBassMan]

If you were in my area the over/under for wheats would be about 70. You'll probably top that in 3 boxes.

looks like lots of Canadians (LOL), the '96 and older are 98% copper. King George's from the '40's are premiums. I just sold a 1921 KG in AU/MS for $6 on Ebay. hope for at least a few IH's. here is a list of Lincolns that you may not have: small date '60, '60D small over large date, '70S small date, '69S DDO, '71 DDO, '72 DDO, '83 DDR, '84 DOUBLED EAR, '95 DDO, '98, '99, and '00 WIDE AM. don't miss CUDS and die cracks or greasers. sure you know about the '09 types, '14, '22 and '31S WHEATS. all the "S" wheats are tough to find. have a loved one provide lots of coffee and maybe a cattle prod, you gonna' be needing both.

I was actually mickey enough to pull a 31-s two years ago. Came back graded xf. Already pulled an idian on my first box 1883

That looks like a good time. Knowing my luck, if I ordered 20 boxes they'd all be 2014s. I hope you find some good stuff!!

Did ten boxes today
164- wheats
1 Indian head

 

[Darth Walker]

With164 wheats at3 cents each you made $4.92 less cost $1.64 is $3.28 plus I do not how much is your indian worth. It is fun and exciting to find wheats but it defies financial logic unless you score a key date or a good ddo/ddr like the 1955 ddo 1.

Wow I thought it would take a lot longer.

ya im def not searching these for profit. Just for fun. I like pulling wheats

 

[Darth Walker]

Yes for some reason I like pulling wheats too. Hoping to find the 1943 bronce or the 1959 mule

 

[SanMartian]

All that would take me a month to search. Seriously. Congrats on the indian.

164 out of 25,000 - that about 1 wheat in every 3 rolls.
Newest wheat cent is 56 years old and people have been pulling wheat cents out of circulation for a long time. I was doing it as a kid in the early 70s, find rate then was about 2 per roll.

I'm hoping for 400 total for the twenty box's so I'll need today's ten to produce even better.

Holy cow, good luck!

 

[Uncleslick18]

I'm jealous!!!

I LOVE searching pennies/cents.

Good luck on the second half. Looks like you've done pretty well so far.
