Altogether the take on the pennies was 32 wheats, my personal best.... Almost every roll had a keeper whether it was Canadian or wheat. One roll produced 3 wheats and some produced 2...

The first for me was 2 enders in a single box of coins(Canadian obverse(1962) and wheat reverse)

Hopefully getting 2 boxes of half dollars sometime this week (I only have 1 supply bank and 1 dump bank)

Dream is relative to your point of view. The question is are you happy? Personally i am happy with any box i get at least 1 keeper.

Forgot to mention this was a brinks box with clear wrappers... My last 2 boxes had 8 and 9 wheats... 17 wheats in 2 boxes and now 32 in 1 box

Ummm so you would be happy if you searched a box of cents and found one 1956 wheat? A coin worth like 10 cents.

Yes good on the wheats. Do you keep the coppers also......Matt

I do not keep coppers yet because I don't have a machine sorter and takes too long to sort by hand. I keep wheats, those are copper

I am not in this hobby to make money yet, just picking out coins for face value is enjoyable for me!

My rolls contain about 35-50% copper which I understand is pretty well for pennies...
What could I sell coppers 1959-1982 for each? in bulk?

What about eBay fees? I have never sold on eBay before, just bought...

Holy cow, as far as wheat's I think that is a dream. I haven't done a bunch of boxes but usually average 3-5 per box!
