Don't post a lot, get more out of reading others postings, but since it was a good weekend thought I'd share.
Picked up $20 worth on Friday, I hand sort so no huge pick ups at one time, but out of 2,000 cents, 1,143 were pre-82 and an additional 112 were wheaties. Of the 112 wheaties, 18 were 43' steel.
I was pleased.

My curiosity was peaked when I opened one of the boxes. Some of the rolls were in wrappers from a local bank branch that was gobbled up by a national bank about 20 years ago. Probably got lucky and these have been sitting in someones drawer for years. |

That is awesome. I have found 1 Steel penny out of millions of pennies searched. And I have not found a IH yet.
I avoid CWR but need to start getting more. They are usually nothing but problems for me. |
You don't have to be the BEST you just have to be.......SLICK

Sweet find, Cu&Fe Dream Rolls if ever there were!
You did go back and ask if they had any more, right? |
There's profit if you melt things!!

No actually it was HSBC. My percentage of wheats has been what I consider very low, around 1/2 of 1%. So when I got 13 times my norm it made for an enjoyable evening. |
