1939 found today dumping dimes.

This particular lobby counter seems to reject the older wheats.

I haven't posted for a while... got some good bags this month!
1910, 1916, 1917X2, 1918, 1918D, 1919X2, 1919S
1920, 1920S, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1925X2, 1925D, 1926, 1927X2, 1927D, 1928X2, 1929, 1929S
1930, 1930D, 1931, 1934X2, 1934D, 1935X2, 1935D, 1936X2, 1936D, 1937X2, 1939X2
A lot of the multiples of these got dumped into a jar of wheats that the local coin shop and I put together to auction off at a raffle. So I can only verify a few of them as having a quantity of more than one. Cool story: the last night before I was going to submit the "prize jar" I ran a really sweet bag through the Ryedale and it had probably 200 wheats, really boosting this pre-40 total. And so... as I said, a lot of those extras got included in the jar to sweeten it a little. Hope the winner likes his loot!

1909 plain out of a $50 Bank bag of pennies today

Another monster bag last night...

I had 7 bags from last week that I needed to sort and dump by today (Tuesday - my day off). So last night I was really chugging along... 5 of these bags had copper percentages ranging from 40-70%... including a lot of bright late-70's copper, and quite a few bright shiny new zincs from 82-88!!! Yeah! The weird thing was they each only had 1 or 2 wheats. Literally. 1... or 2.

Then I noticed the next bag started out with a dozen wheats in the first handful. Long story short, it had about 40% copper, and precisely 576 of those coppers were WHEATS... including the following THIRTY-FIVE pre-40s!

1916x2, 1918, 1918D, 1919
1920x3, 1920S, 1921, 1923, 1925x2, 1926, 1927x3, 1928
1930x2, 1930D, 1934x2, 1936x3, 1937x5, 1939x4.

This is the 2nd most wheats I've ever found in a bag. I can't find it, but I posted about it before; the thread was called "best bag ever" and it seems like it was somewhere around 1200 wheats. EDIT: Here it is! viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16879
