98 years old and from the old(1873) SF mint.

 

Nice find, not a bad looking specimen. S even. Looks like a little separation between cheek and jaw.

 

Thanks, this box had 14 wheat in it, a toasted 1915, this one, the rest were '40's and 50's.

 

I've pretty much given up on doing cent boxes. I had too many times when I got 2-3 wheats out of the box and a bunch of nasty zincolns that wouldn't go through the coin counter.

 

I've yet to be skunked by a box from my bank, I don't know where they are processed, but I average six or eight wheat and this one had 14. Thanks for the look and comment.

 

The closest box to a skunker was about 4-5 years ago - a single wheat but it was a 1926.

 

Wow!

 

Looks like a nice and honest example to me, Nolan. Another one for the grandkids?

 

Yes, I am filling some holes in the book. In fact, I just finished a box and found another 1919, this one is a P, so this week, I found a 1919 from each of the mints, a crusty D, the one above and the P today. This bank box gave up 15 wheat. Today's box also produced a 1929 P. Post coming.

 

I misspoke in the above post, two of the 1919's were S, the 1915 I recently found was a Denver. My bad.

 

Great. I found one 2 weeks ago. My oldest lincoln s mint

 

I pick up 10 dollars worth at a time. And i get at least 10 wheats each time. Wish you gents better luck

How that happen

 

Very nice find for being almost hundred years old and in circulation.

 

Wow, good going! Nice find
