I have been putting sorting on the back burner because it is hard to find a place close to dump my zincs but today I am glad I decided to pick up a couple of boxes. Had an extra $20. so ask for CWR. The teller said she had a lot from on old gentleman and how many did I want she had 55 rolls. WOW! OH DOUBLE WOW! They were all copper and wheats. 55 rolls of solid CU. Several are bank rolled and looked to be uncirculated 1970-1974. Should I open them? Some the date is not showing. 5 were solid wheats. I have not looked through them all just a few rolls so not sure what else I will find, hope something really good. I have not had very good luck lately. I am lucky to find 1 or 2 wheats, no Canadian and usually 20% CU per box. Today, I am excited again.
Yes, it does and the funny thing is I know this man. He lives in the little town where my kids went to school and was a teacher. Sure wished I would have known he was getting rid of them. The teller said he had several buckets of them. Boo Hoo She is checking to see if they have more of them somewhere. No call yet but maybe.
I have not looked through them all yet. The teller called and said she found 60 more rolls so I RUSHED back to get them. The wheats are between 1936-1974. Several rolls of 1973 Fed rolled. Sure was hoping to find some really old one like an IH or 1909, dream on huh. Still over TWO boxes of solid CU is fine with me.
Thanks! Just finished and ended up with 786 Wheats for the 115 rolls. Pretty good for me as I usually only get 8 or 10 a box. Would love to find many more of rolls like these.
Best Sorting Day Ever!

What is the date range of the wheats?
