<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnV, post: 1765925, member: 46574&quot;]After months of only checking the rolls at work, I decided to finally go to the bank and pick up a box of pennies. I went to a Wells Fargo branch on my way home from work. I told the teller that I wanted to get a $25 box of pennies. She seemed confused and asked of the other tellers how many pennies she had in her drawer. The said she had $3. At this point there was another customer laughing because he thought it was such an outrageous request. I then said to her, &quot;don&#039;t you have any boxes in the vault?&quot;. She said yea but it would be hard, and then told me that she would get the manager. The manager came out and told me that they didn&#039;t have that amount of pennies but said that one of their other branches w0uld have enough and that he would be happy to call them and tell them that I would be stopping by to pick it up. So I headed over to the other branch which happened to be only 3 blocks from my house that I never even knew was there. I told the teller that I was there from the other branch to pick up the box and she told me that they were already in the vault getting it. A few minutes later I finally had the box in my hands!</p><p>So after a few hours yesterday and today searching all of the rolls I am finally done and got some pretty awesome finds.</p><p>When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was a 2009 penny on the end of a roll. Made me excited to see what else i&#039;d find.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]280061[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Roll 4 I found the first canadian and first wheat!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I found a bunch more wheats and a few canadians and then I got to roll 35:[ATTACH=full]280062[/ATTACH]</p><p>I noticed that dark stripe near the end of the roll. I felt it and it bulged out a bit so I knew it wasn&#039;t a penny. I got really excited to see what it would be. [ATTACH=full]280063[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]280065[/ATTACH] A 1994 Australian Nickel! But then this roll got even better. In this same roll was a 1941 wheat and a 2009 cent!</p><p>I thought that would be the best roll of the box but then I got to roll 42:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]280073[/ATTACH]</p><p>3 wheats and 2 canadians! 3 wheats in one roll is almost unheard of these days.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So here is the final result:</p><p>18 Wheats: 2 &#039;41, 3 &#039;44, 2 &#039;46, &#039;47, &#039;48, &#039;50, &#039;50D, 2 &#039;51, 2 &#039;52D, &#039;53, 2 &#039;57D</p><p>7 Canadians: &#039;50, &#039;53, &#039;79, &#039;86, &#039;89, &#039;91, 2012</p><p>3 2009&#039;s</p><p>3 S mint marks: &#039;70, 2 &#039;74</p><p>3 1959 D&#039;s</p><p>1 Australian Nickel</p><p>619 copper pennies (not including wheats)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]280069[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]280070[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]280071[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]280072[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess I just had beginners luck with this box. It definitely makes me want to go get another box. But I am not done with this box yet. Now I am going to go through the copper pennies to see if there are any errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
