Scored some wheaties!

[Fenway]

After all of your great advice I decided to jump in! I'm starting small with dimes and pennies. They are easy to unload and there is not a huge investment. I had some luck the other day with some pennies (skunked on the dimes) I picked up from the supermarket so I figured I would try again. I got 13 Wheaties from 20 rolls. Today I got my 4 and 5 year old daughters to help me. We went through 40 rolls and ended up with 29 Wheaties and 13 from Canada. We had a lot of fun. It will be easy to bring them back to the market and dump them into Coinstar at no charge.

Just curious, are these numbers good, average or poor? At some point I will take the plunge and try out some halfs.

Especially since their cents are being melted down by the government.

Sounds about right. I just ran a box & pulled 10 wheats. I think that was a little low compared to my typical box.

I would say that is pretty darn good! When I was doing cents a while ago about 4 months ago, in the machine wrapped brinks I would get around a 14-16 wheats per box average. So, I think you did quite well! I love cents!
