Kudos for your perserverence and analysis.
The only real surprise to me was the lack of "S" coins.
I would have bet substanially more would have appeared.

We tend to average on Wheat "S" every 2 boxes. You never know what will or will not turn up.

I assume you and your son do this together as a hobby? If so that's great! Fun way to spend time with your kids!

Tanner is a Junior in high school. He is a bit more interested in girls and soccer than coins right now. I think he helped out with 2 of the 25 boxes. I figure I introduced him to coin collecting, and he will probably get back into more when he is older.

Is there that much value in wheaties? I always thought they were worth maybe twice value. Is a couple of bucks worth the time? Not tryin to slam ya, I'm just ignorant about it. Good luck.
