This past week we both searched one $25 box each. Dad box was a brinks from Huntington Bank, he was the winner with 12 wheats (oldest 1934) the rest were common an 1 Bahama starfish. Tanner made a valiant effort only to come short by one wheat. Tanner did have one of our best variety boxes ever. He searched a Brinks box from a Chase in Detroit ending up with 11 wheats (oldest 1934), a 1943s(?) steel cent our third steel cent found in rolls in the wild and a nice red 1953d (upgrade for our CRH book). He also had a Bahama starfish coin and 4 King George VI 42,43,45 and 51.

Keep on Searching
Dad and Tanner

PS I worked at the Detroit Athletic Club on Saturday morning. I drove down 8 Mile a bit stopping at 6 or 7 banks on the south side of 8 mile in the hood. I found $230 in customer rolled halves and found: 1~1964 90% and 1~1967 40%.

man i wish those steel cents didnt get so beat up over the past 70+years. I'm still waiting on finding one in decent shape
 
never got a steel penny from a penny box, though I get them from the magnet sometimes.

Lucky you and tanner!! Also, you're always getting those starfish pennies from bahamas, how many solid rolls of them do you have?
