Well, I've never posted my "Finds" in here. But after today, I had to share this.
After being skunked on my last few boxes of halves, I decided to take the cheap route and get some cents. I dont really find anything of crazy value, but its always a gurantee to come away few 10 plus Wheats.
So I went to the bank on my lunch break and asked for 25 dollars worth, while she was getting them out I asked if she had any loose halves or rolls, she told me an older lady had come in and dropped off 2 rolls, then she told me that she leaves her initials on them so she doesnt get them again
Then she pulles them out and they werent halves..They were the new garbage gold dollars, So I told her I would just take the pennies, she started to put them in a box and jokingly asked if my name was "Wheat"?, then I looked down and noticed the rolls where all marked "Wheat"..I was completly in shock, I told her thats the whole reason I buy them, so she told me to hold on and got me everyroll that was marked.
I know its nothing like a nice silver score, But I cant complain walking away with 26 Solid rolls of Wheats.
My oldest was a 1912, and found a few 1919's..Handful of 20's-30's..and a Ton of 40's-50's..
Plus found a few old canidans, and out of 26 rolls, I only found 2 memorials
also found another 4 wheats in the unmarked rolls
I was most happy with my first ever steelie found CRH'ing
After going thru these rolls, All I could think about was "Did this person drop off any dimes or quarters"?..So naturally I will be up there at lunch again tomorrow..Thanks for lookin

That's one killer box of easy pickings 
I did one last year that had a lot of wheats and it was hand rolled.
