Coin box hunting can pay off. Takes time and money Well done

Nicely done ! You might want to shift this post from todays finds , over to Coin Roll Hunting forum. You'll get more CRH'ers offering their feedback . As a CRH guy myself , I think you did fine ! 25 wheats would be a very good haul for me , I typically get 8 or 10 per box.

Well done on the Wheats.

Nice job!

I have been box hunting for some years.The wheats have really dried up somewhat. In a post of mine long ago there was one very unusual find that being a Civil war store card coin.

cdickrun64,are you laying back the 95% ALSO?

 

[thrifty76now]

Argentium,that is about my haul per box.

 

[cdickrun64]

Thrifty....”laying back”?

sold many cent errors for $2 to $50 each.
sold '84 DBL ear for $100. '99 WAM for $115 (both went to same collector---lotsa free boxes on that deal).

Canucks are 98% copper pre- '97, so better than a wheat. coinsandcanada.com covers all known errors & their value

'09 VDB in a roll. got $50 for an '84 reverse CUD----
pennies are KING. many CWR's are 90%++ coppers from one of my banks--- he must be dumping a stash.

look for O/C's, clashes, greasers, Lams, CUDS, cracks, interior die chips, MS RED wheats, rotated dies---- ALWAYS BUY ALL THEY HAVE!!!!!

 

[thrifty76now]

I meant is he keeping the 95% pennies along with the wheat cents.

 

[cdickrun64]

Yes, i keep the coppers
