My wife went to the bank on Thursday to get my usual 2 boxes of pennies. The teller asked my wife if she wanted some CWRs. She said sure. Well, out of 5000 pennies I got 1813 coppers PLUS 807 wheat backs. Not many real old ones but a lot of S mints from the 40s. That made my day. I wnet back yesterday and got another 103 rolls but I have not gone thru them yet. I do not think that there are many wheat backs but there should be some copper.

800 Wheats for 1 cent is always a good find!

The thrill of the hunt. A prize in every package. That sense of having found treasure.
It's what keeps us in the game.
