WHEATS! MEGA-SCORE!

[bnicholas26]

I go to a bank and ask for a box of pennies. He says no full boxes but he has 16 rolls of CWR's and can give me 34 MWR's. So I said ok, bought them and left. I open the first CWR....SOLID WHEATS.....AND THE NEXT AND THE NEXT. Managed to pull 11 wheats from the MWR's for a grand total of 811 wheat pennies!! Also got a 1912 Honduras 2 Centavo from this batch. (got plenty of 1910's, 20's, and 30's, no key-dates, but still filled a few holes in the book)

Go back and buy as much of the CWR as you can, odds are the customer may have brought in a bunch of silver too

 

[Bigheed]

you culled a few "bushels of wheat" right there!

Awesome!

What's the condition of the centavo?

 

[bnicholas26]

I went back today and picked up the rest of the CWR. 100 in dimes, 50 in pennies, 100 in nickels. "Box" results........1 silver dime, 1 war nick, handful of wheats.

Very impressive, nice score!

The Honduran coin is worth $3 (it has a mintage of 88,000). It is the rarer type that says "centavo" instead of "centavos."

Plus it appears to have an interesting cud.

Congrats, now you can make some bread out of them!
I can only dream to find so many wheats from just 50 rolls.

Good for you but it sounds like someones wheat cent collection accidentally made it to the bank.

Wow! Congratulations! I recently got a box of pennies and there were 3 wrappers that had "M" written on them and one stamped 1970S. Of course I'm cussing this "M" guy in my head. I open them and it turns out they said "W"! Lol I had 3 full rolls of wheaties and a roll of beautiful, shiny 1970S pennies! I love hearing about other peoples awesome finds!
