I searched a box of pennies today, and had the strangest search. The first roll yeilded a 1937, right out of the gate.
The next 20 rolls did not yeils even one wheat. I did get a BU or near BU 1967.
Just when I was ready to give up, I hit the jackpot. The second half of the box yeilded 2 1919 (one is so bad I'm not saving it, as it grades PR1 or at best FR2), a VF 1920D, 1926, another 1937, 1940, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1949D, 2 1950D, 1951, 1952D, 1955D, 1956, 1956D, 1958, and a 1958D as well as a 1963, 1962, and 1940 Canadian, and a 1981 Bermuda cent, along with a BU or near BU 1966 and 1968S.
A very nice turn around indeed.

It will add to your finds if you check for modern varieties, I find a lot more value of modern varieties in roll searching than the wheat cents but they're fun to find too.
A little gojo and a toothpick, and it looks like nothing ever happened to it. The coin grades a fine. Boy was it caked up !!!
A month ago I pulled the most coins from one box ever, 51 coins with 38 of them being wheats. The balance were 1960's high grade red Lincolns and about ten pre 1965 Canadians.
A few weeks ago, andother good hunt: 23 wheats and four pre 65 Canadians with one of them being an AU 1952 King George.
Today's hunt, not so good, but not awful. I pulled only ten wheats with four pre 65 Canadian.
