    I was just going through a box of pennies I got from a bank today, and found my first ih cent. It’s from 1907 and it’s not in that bad of shape for being over 100 years old. I also found two proof cents - 1977 and 2007 in the same box. Guess today is my lucky day.

    Has anyone else found Indian Heads in Loomis rolls?

    Nice find :)
    I found one yesterday. My 17th out of over $15k worth of cents searched. I search Loomis rolls almost exclusively.

    I found only one IHC. It was in a CWR. Probably out of ~$600 searched.

    Cool. My regular bank only carries Loomis trolls. When I am bored of going through those, I go and get brown, generic ones from another nearby bank. I’ve gotten nice coins from both places.

    Ha. My spellcheck changed ‘rolls’ to ‘trolls’. That is funny.

    I’m not kidding. I was finishing opening up the last few rolls from this same box tonight, and found ANOTHER ih cent. What are the chances of that!?...especially in the same box.
    Here is a photo of it along with some other ‘goodies’ I found in the same roll. I am really excited about this as you can probably tell. 5F1A9FF6-321D-4253-A336-44F46C46867E.jpeg

    My first and 2nd IHC were in the same box too. Never got lucky like that again though. Enjoy it while you can haha.

    I just opened the last roll out of the box...and inside was another ih cent! This time, 1908.
    I guess somebody dumped their collection accidentally or someone inherited a bunch of them and dumped them. I’m happy - 3 new ih cents to add to my collection.
    This was the best box I ever went through.

    I average 3 or 4 Canadian cents per box I search. But one box a few months back had nearly 50 in it! I can only conclude that box came from a processing center much farther north near the border.

    I average 3-5 canadian cents per box. I've managed to fill out almost an entire Canadian small cent run from 1920-2012. Now I'm sitting on over $25 f/v worth of Canadian cents. Not sure what to do with them :p

    I pulled 5 out of the same roll today,I haven't counted the total for the box yet but I average 8 to 10 a box. Also 4 rolls had 2 wheats apiece I've never had that many with 2 in a box.

    Don't spend them. The Canadian mint is melting Canadian pennies now, so who knows if they could be valuable some day.
