<p>[QUOTE="marhjan, post: 51577, member: 3028"]Finished up box #3-- another 17 wheaties and 6 Canadians. This was a strange box, 13 of the wheaties came from three rolls. I'm not sure if that's random luck or some kind of reason??? Also, I came across something that I've never pulled before, a 1984 cent with the reverse partially overstruck an otherwise normal obverse. It's hard to describe, I'll have to get some decent pics online, but I'm pretty sure it was done at the Mint. The word 'ONE' and part of the Lincoln Memorial are clearly overstruck on the obverse. Anyway, onto the stats of box #3-</p><p><br /></p><p>plain (Philadelphia)</p><p><br /></p><p>1934</p><p>1936</p><p>1938 x 2</p><p>1940 x 2</p><p>1944</p><p>1945</p><p>1946</p><p>1952</p><p>1954</p><p>1956</p><p>1958 x 2</p><p><br /></p><p>(Denver and San Francisco)</p><p><br /></p><p>1951D</p><p>1953D</p><p><br /></p><p>1950S</p><p><br /></p><p> For the record, after three boxes (7500 coins) I've pulled 53 wheaties, or about 1/142 coins searched, and 20 Canadian cents. I'm also realizing just how scarce S mint wheaties are in circulation, having pulled just 3 of those. I'm glad people are enjoying this thread, and look forward to any information about my possible error (will likely post the pics under a different threat) Let the hunt continue!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
