9 Wheats in a Roll

Postby hammerrob » Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:57 pm

Had to tell someone, and don't know anyone else who would care .... sorted a Stringer roll today that had 9 wheats and 50% copper. Both easily a records for me. All the wheats were 40s or 50s, except one 39. Pretty big news for a small-time hand sorter!

Nice score on the 9 wheat roll. Yesterday I sorted $25 of various CWRs I had picked up recently and three of the rolls were loaded with wheats. I think one had 13, another 12, and one had 9. Overall I found 38 wheats in the $25. Finding good rolls like that once in a while is always exciting.
