I'm not done with the $25 yet, but I'm now up to 10 rolls of wheats.
Nothing great; a few AG 1909s, and four steels. Still, at three cents per wheat, the drive-buy rolls paid off.
I'm going to have to get to the source of this vein through my friendly banker.

I was about to try and help you track down the source! :) I need the 1909s for my book along with a bunch of other semi to key dates.

Are you saying you got 10 rolls of wheats out of $25?
That would be huge! |

| The total was a crazy $13.50 face value in wheats. A lot of old ones, but only common dates with common mint marks were found. The Cu percentage was easily over 65%, leaving me with the fewest Zincolns I've ever seen in the zinc container. It will be hard to go back to the regular Brinks boxes, but I won't complain, as percentages are in the low thirties. Also, the number of wheats is averaging around 50 per box. |

Where are you from? I want some of those boxes. 50 wheats a box would be sweet. |
