Roll-searchers, post your results!

LOL dead serious about the UNC sets.. I'm not buying it.. however I could take about $40 in face value halves and swap for more than $40 face value every coin..

LOL now they are selling copper pennies!!

HAHAHAHA They are saying a Wheatie is worth $ .50 a coin!! And they are giving you 6 rolls (worth $25 a roll according to them).

I'll take my Half shipment tomorrow.. LOL!! Merc, you almost have me ordering boxes of cents as I love some IHC and Wheaties..

 

I'll sell you wheaties at $50 per 1k shipped if you really want some.

God knows I have 'em all over the place these days...

 

According to HSN, that's 500 bucks worth!

 

Did a box of cents, 77 wheats. Canadian: 1 1943 George VI, 2 pre-1960 Elizabeth II. And maybe 14 BUs of more recent dates.

For those with a Ryedale.. How many cents do you have to sell (LBS) to break even.. do you do it via craigslist or ebay?

Thanks

 

Here's the IHC I found today, right after it came outta the roll, and a bit of a closer-up shot I just took.



And my wheatie hoard... the ones on the dresser are unsorted, the green bowl is 30's, the clear one is '09-'29. The bags in the chest are 40's and 50's, approximately 1k per bag. I have a few rolls of the '09-'39's too.

 

Thanks for fixing the links Merc!

 

Fixed now!

 

Yeah, I know... don't know how that happened but it's fixed now.

 

Hey Merc.. What kind of tubes are those (by green bowl)??? Look like they stack very well.

Please advise

 

I got 'em off Wizard Coin Supplies' web site... they stack alright, but shift easily when sliding out drawers and whatnot when full... Wish they made like, interlocking tubes. Still, not bad for whatever it was I paid for them, something like 12 bucks for 20 of each cents, nickels and halves, not including shipping and a few other things I bought.

 

That's a crazy high number of wheats, not sure if it beats my best or not... I think my best is what? 82?

Shame you didn't get more early dates.

 

Wow you guys are killing me on Wheats, nice going! Nice IH Merc Crazy, that's always nice to pull one of those!

 

New to the forum, but I've been reading this thread for a little while. I'm trying to obtain cases of Halves, but it's not that easy around here. Most banks won't order for me, I'm sure if I keep looking I'll find one or two that will.

Did a box of Nickels today, and got NOTHING. Or atleast nothing that my friend and I were looking for. Zero Buffalo, and Zero War. Went through $25 of Pennies, got only about 8 Wheats and a pint full of Pre 1982's ...

Went to a local bank last week and the teller had 12 1965-1970 Halves, great 6 dollar investment. But my friend and I won't stop here, hopefully we can have some kind of outcome this coming wednesday when we do a little trip around here to see what we can find.

 

Oh, I know, I'm pretty pumped, I've found 3 or so in the last month... after finding 1 in all the searching I did before that... strangely, it coincided with the sharp increase in wheat cent counts from 8-12 a box to ~15-20 a box.

 

I found 4 40%ers today. Also, I searched 15 rolls of cents and came away with a half a dixie cup of copper and 4 Wheaties

Keep trying, sooner or later you'll have some luck. Do you have a bank that you have an account with? Try and befriend a teller, I think that always helps you get an 'in'. I have a few tellers I'm grooming right now. I don't quite have the cash on hand to have in boxes (been paying off debts) but I will soon, and hopefully the rapport I've developed with a few of the branches I bank with will lead me to being able to order halves. No big deal if I can't though. I'll just find another bank if I really want to go after halves. But I'm not sure how much I will do with halves if I do them at all. HH.

 

Hey can't beat that. I found one searching a few weeks ago, and 1 metal detecting (my first in this way of hunting), so I got some luck too. Hopefully it continues. Yeah those 15-20 plus wheat boxes are good, even better are the 20+ where it seems you are pulling a wheatie every roll or other roll. And any date I don't yet have is good thing to see too. HH

 

Yeah I agree. Most of the wheats came from the same spot or person, they have a weird color to them. Could be toning, but it looks more like a chemical, maybe oil, not sure. Once I get some pics, I plan on posting a new thread on em. I'll probably go get another box today, hopefully its got some more of the same group.
