Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:08 pmFinally, I get to brag a little. About 2 years ago I picked up a box of hand rolled from an obscure bank and it yielded $14.66 face value in wheats, including about $4 in steel cents. That was fun.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:56 amI just got done sorting a 25.00 dollar box....found my new record of 54 wheaties! Of coure I am still only a couple months into sorting by hand....but it was so exciting and we hadn't ever found so many in one box so it is awesome for us!! The oldest one was was a 1917.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 10:47 amMy record so far might be about 20. From a rolled box.
Record low might be 2 or 3.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 11:11 amIf I remember correctly my best box was 72 wheaties and my 2nd best was around 22.
My best wheatie score was buying $94 in CWRs from a bank and finding 94 of the rolls were solid wheats...total of 4700 wheaties (all in 40-50s).
