[QUOTE="windwalker, post: 1676905, member: 38923"]I've been able to put together over 2,000 wheats. I've place them into used pill bottles (300 to a bottle).

I know that I have quite a few of them from the '40's and '50's, but there is also quite a few of them from the teens and '20's. Although I do do roll searching and keep all of copper coins that I come accross, I really don't have any expectation of being able to do something with the ones that I do have (wheat backed being a possible exception) I do see that the copper pennies are getting harder to come upon. When I started out I was averaging 40+% now I'm down to 22%. The copper pennies go into a 55 gallon drum from the kids to figure out what to do with them. Right now it's about half way filled and I don't have any idea as to either how many are in the drum nor what the weight is. I just labeled the drum and they know it for them. However the wheats are all for me. I have a short term goal of keeping the wheats until I find a 1909s vdb. It does look like I'm going to be at it for quite awhile now.
