Thinking about getting back into coin roll searching

[CopperSilverGold]

Like the title says, I am thinking about getting back into coin roll searching (just pennies). I used to do it back around 2008-2010. Going off the top of my head, I think I would get 10-15 wheats per box, maybe 1-3 Canadian copper, and somewhere around 28-30% overall copper. What kinds of numbers are you guys seeing these days?

Edit: just found a spreadsheet from 4 years ago when I did a little bit (not even a full box worth). Out of 2100 pennies searched:
1959-82 Cu LMC's: 552
Wheat cents: 12
Canadian Cu cents: 2

Total copper cent percentage: 26.95%

When I moved in 2015, I ended up cashing in my modest 1959-82 copper cent hoard (around $500 face I think) due to space limitations and also to help offset some of the moving expenses. Kind of wish I had that now, although space is still a consideration.

Copper, wheats, errors. Gotta check ‘em all.

Time for more coffee.

I used to check for the varieties - double dies and Wide America are the ones I remember looking for. Now I would be just interested in the copper cents. Numismatics don't do much for me.

Yeah, I think I’m going to try to look through some more pennies myself. I like to pull the wheats and Canadian, never found any wild Indians-don’t think I ever found a steel cent either. It’s enjoyable.

I keep the copper which I store in jars and bags, it’s probably not that much but I might have to weigh it now

I don't know what it is about those wheat cents, except perhaps it reminds me of how excited I was to find one when I was a kid. I wonder if there are any coin dealers in Kansas (since wheat is a big crop there) who do anything special as a tribute to the wheat cents?!?
