| Bank rolls of Penneys
Had a little free time today and I went through two boxes of Pennies packed by Brinks. (Thats $50 of pennies)
In the first box, I found 1952D, 1956D AU still shinning, 1920, 1955, 1944, 1945, 1955, 1942, 1948, 1952D, 1956D, 1952D, 1945, 1945, 1957D, 1945, 1950S, 1956 and about ten candian. So thats 18/2500 or 0.72%
In the Second Box I found, 1941S, 1940, 1955, 1953D, 1958, 1956D, 1941, 1956D, 1926, 1956, 1944, 1946., and three candian. so 12/2500 or .48%
In total I found 30 wheat pennies in two boxes. Total % of population that was wheat pennies was 0.6%... just above a half a percent.
Over the summer I went through ten boxes($250 of pennies) and I actually found a 1897 indian cent. Figure that you will get about a half a percent for wheaties and few and far between for other specials.
