OK, I'll add my 2 cents, hope y'all don't mind.
I think I had 14 boxes to get taken care of as they are getting more and more difficult to hide around here. (wife not so penny lovin these days)
So 14x$25.
I don't even count the wheaties anymore, have hundreds lying around, gotta do something with them soon.
But I did get, out of different boxes btw, 5 total Indian Heads this afternoon. 2 blah, 1 okay, 2 really nice....from 1889 - 1907.
And one funky looking 1961 penny that looks like it was struck on a dime planchard.
So one cool bit of roll opening for me for sure. And thankfully all of the boxes are gone and already picked up by my recycling / garbage guys.

Country,

Sorry to hear about the short box. Brinks has the solid boxes, right? No holes to peek in to make sure all the rolls are there.

I always grab some penny rolls when I get dimes in case I get skunked on silver.

Today I got 6 SOLID rolls of wheats except for 26 memorials

The wheats were mostly 50s, followed by 40s, nothing older. And, sorry, no 1943 copper.

The memorials were no newer than '63.
