Here in the Fort Wayne, IN area, I get about 30% consistently in $50 bags from my local bank. I sort as many as 5-6 bags a week with my Ryedale and have been working on my hoard for a couple of years now. I only find about 15 wheats per bag which sounds much lower than others. Also, I find alot of canadian coppers in the mix. I always search to coppers to pull out these and other odd finds (foreign coins, etc.). Happy hunting to all on Realcent.

Last week I bought my first $10 of pennies from the bank and today I went by and bought $25 of customer drop offs. I will slowly go through these but I just did an initial check on the rolls.
I got
(10) 125-130g range
(30) 130-135g range
(8) 135-140g range
(1) 140-145g range Actually 144.9
(1) under 125
I checked it quick it only had 47 pennies and 9 were copper.

Last week I got $25 FV of CWR? Here are the totals.
598 Cu
1976 Zn
4 Wheat cents
2 Canadian Cu
3 US dimes
2583 Total Coins worth $26.10
I did not weigh before but I suspect they had a tube or something that put 52 or 53 coins per roll.
