Anything in particular you’re searching for this time, or is it anything and everything?
Best of luck!

Sorry, that's a shame. Your bank is playing scrooge. Ever think of opening a separate account with an entire different bank?
Resulting in two accounts.

They can, they just don't want to.

Yes, open a new account at a different bank and then return all the searched coins to the 1st bank,,,,,
That will teach them a lesson.

Well it says right on the box, visually inspect.

Yes, that's what I did. Looked at each hole (50). All have a "wheatie end"! Yeah right. I wish. Lol.

daltex

Oh, I guess I misread the thread title. I thought this thread was going to be about the presents you got for the tellers at your bank for going out of their way to be so helpful in getting coins for your hobby (looking under your microscope) at face value.

I once had a sealed box of nickels come up a roll short. the branch made good on it. of course I was much more of a fixture there than I am at any bank now.

joeykoins

Home from Work! Here we GO! Good Start/Great Sign, I hope? Opened the box and found 6 Wheat Enders. 2, have both ends being wheats! Check 'em out. Maybe? This will be the day /Weekend? The 1992p or d? I'll open the 6 Last.

joeykoins

GUYS! First roll. First roll! 7 Wheats

Woody


Check this one out

joeykoins

5th roll, after 5 more wheats.
Check out the wide rim. Pf.?

By the way, there were 5 wheats alone in this roll! 24 wheats total. Only in 5 rolls.

Don't forget, I still have those 6 roll enders waiting. Lol.

joeykoins

6th Roll.
Real Rough but is that a 1 or an 0?

ricko

Looks as if you have found a wheatie mine.... Good luck with your '92 close AM.... Cheers, RickO

Downtown1974

Looks like a 3 with these eyes.

Jimnight

Keep hunting!

joeykoins

Through 9 rolls. 29 Wheats. No keys but hoping? Oldest, 1920s for sure. Possibly a 1919/1909?

joeykoins

First 1992d hopeful.
Nice and Red too. But NO cigar.

joeykoins

About the 19(1,3 or 0)9, question? I acetone the coin for a couple of hours and added some oil to bring out the date better.
I come to the conclusion, 1919p. Agree?

MsMorrisine

I vote 1919.

and you got a woodgrain in there, too.

crazyhounddog

Looks like a LOT of work. This kinda stuff is for young eyes. Good luck 🤞

joeykoins

1953 D/D?

Thanks. yeah a woodgrain.

A lot of fun. I have rolls of memorials that I just put away as I was too lazy to spend or take to the bank (my bank does not take coin). I see a couple of 92 enders.....hmmm maybe I'll open? Who thinks I should? Who thinks just leave as is?

bob

joeykoins

Roll 19 is Amazing! 17 Wheats in the single roll. Lol. Ironically, here is the best one out of the 17. That makes 47 Wheats so far. Not even half done. Although, still no key.

JBK

I'd go back to the bank quick and see if they have any more. Someone dumped a wheat hoard in a machine somewhere.

Kliao

Wow. Lots of wheats! Congrats!

OPEN DUDE! Lol. Good Luck. If I can't find that 1992, maybe it's because you have it? Merry Christmas

I've got nine rolls, will look through them tomorrow if I have time.

bob

joeykoins

Back into it! The 20th roll. One after the last roll that consisted of 17 wheats. This one had 14 wheat cents! The best one in that roll, 1910. Still, NO keys.
Rough and slick

joeykoins

Any guesses? Lol Oh well. I'm averaging about 2 -3 Wheats per roll! Still NO keys.





My guess would be 1916d or s

ifthevamzarockin

1910 S

joeykoins

Here's a decent one.

ifthevamzarockin

If they were both 9's the centers would be the same size.
The rate of curve is different from the 9 to the 0.

CoinHoarder

That's an awesome box Joey!

When you have completed searching the box, please give us a breakdown of your total finds.

erwindoc

Congrats! I think you owe that bank a box of donuts!

joeykoins

@ifthevamzarockin said:

Oh, you were serious when you said 1910s? I thought you were facetious. I see your thinking now. That would make more sense, by the coin being so worn and slick.
The older date, 1910 than 1916. How 'bout the mm now? S or d? Thanks buddy.

ifthevamzarockin

I would guess it is an S since they did not make a D.

joeykoins

Lol. Duh!
RPM ?

joeykoins

Wheats found thus far: 79
With 23 rolls remaining, including the 6 rolls that have wheat enders. 2, of which have both ends with a wheat. This, by far will most probably be my BEST box of cents EVER! So, I guess my bank did provide me with a "Nice Christmas Present" after all?
Although, NO Keys or Varieties, as of yet. However, the THRILL was a present alone. and yes, my heart skipped a beat when I did run across a few 1992's. Lol.
My best find

Great Christmas gift for a CRH. Glad you are having fun and success.

If you continue for years with CRH statistics and random chance dictate that at some point in time you will acquire one or more rolls containing a run of MS wheat cents dated from 1909 through the 1930s, plus some rolls containing MS wheat cents from 1940 to 1958 containing 50 MS cents of the same date and mint mark.

When that happens make sure you post pics.

Thanks! I hope you are right? Merry Christmas.

joeykoins

Here are some pics of the worn 1910s in a better light?

I once had a box like that. Of course, no keys but it had plenty of Wheaties, which were exciting on see popping up 10+ per roll.
Best of my group was a 1909 VDB, but alas no "S."

Great! I'd be happy if I too, would find that. The 1909 VDB No S.

joeykoins

Yes, I just remembered! This happened to me not too long ago. About 3 months ago.
I bought a bank box of cents. That box too, had a multiple amount of Wheaties. 90 to be exact! 10 short of two FULL Rolls. Different bank. I'm pretty sure, this box will surpass that?

ReadyFireAim

I think Hansen is still looking for one of these if you can find one.

Any condition will do

joeykoins

Wheatie Alert:
Roll 29: 18 Wheats!

Best coin in roll 29
