My Best Penny Box Ever

Bank Runner · Apr 7, 2009

Finally catalogued an unbelievable $25 penny box. I noticed many Wheats on the end of rolls, as soon as I opened the box. Things only got better from there. The total number of Wheats in the box was 210, a personal best. This slayed my former best box of 28 Wheats! :thumbsup:

I was really wishing for an IHC or even a steel cent as this box went on, but it wasn't to be. The drought in halves is yielding returns in other denominations for me... By the way I am only doing 2-4 boxes (of pennies) a week, with 2 jobs and a 1 year-old, I am never going to be able to hang with most of you guys.

Sorry about no pics, I am having an interface problem with my camera.

HH,

Karl

Congrats on an unbelievable box. I have searched over 400 penny boxes this year and 179 is my best box ever. You were probably referring to me about being able to hang with, I am not a normal CRHer(well none of us are normal :tongue3:

) I do not work and spend A LOT of time searching. I have a great source bank and a great dump bank. That is a MAJOR key to the quantity being done. Without those two things working in my network I would fail.

DO NOT JUDGE YOUR ACCOMBLISHMENTS ON THE RESULTS OF OTHERS, this is a hobby that as long as you enjoy the hunt that is the key, everything else is just a bonus.

Great job and keep up the good work,
Jason
