Average wheats per box of cents?

I see rolls of pre 1957 jeffersons selling for 5-7 bucks a roll on ebay and craigslist.and thats for the nasty ones.you get a clean roll with a couple s mint mark nickels and maybe a 1939 or two you could get 10-12 bucks a roll.
 

Nice I may try a box soon don't know. I'll post a new thread of my first box if I do.
 

1938d,1938s,1939d,1939s,1950,1950d,1955,
1940s,1941s,1942d(non silver),1946s,1947s,1948s,1949s,1951s,1951,1951d,1952s,1958,1959.Those are almost all th nickels in the series with mintages less than 40 million.so i consider them key and semi key dates.
 

For a penny box I usually get from none to 12 wheats on average and about 5-10$ in US pennies. I think the pre 1960 Canadian pennies should be equal to a wheat. Then I get approximately 20 per box.
 

I average 8 wheats and 5 canadian pennies per brinks box I still havent got a steel or Indian head and Ive done a few hundred dollars in pennies I did find a 1962 dime in one though. Today I got my first cwr pennies, $25 and not one wheat I think Im going to stick to boxes.
 

For me its like 6-8 wheats and literally about 30-45 canadians.there wont be any in a roll then there will be 4 in the next one.

That is nothing compared to what I tend to find :happysmiley:.
One day I found 2 full bundles (10$) of US pennies. Not complaining though, found 14 wheats out of them. On a daily basis, my average percentage of US pennies is about 15-18%, so per 100$ searched, I tend to get 15-18$ face.
Needless to say, this is the way I get the pre 1959ers and Indian Heads (got 3 of them :headbang:)

Do you guys find many KGVI or KGV in these boxes? (specifically people living in the bordering states: Michigan, New York, Maine, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin...Montana).

You forgot Idaho, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Minnesota.
 

I'm in Vermont I found a decent number of king georges have about a roll and a half. An average number here for canadiens total is around 15 to 25 a box here
 

I found one kgvi British 1943 out of my first $100. Too small of a sample though. I'm in Ohio btw.

I also found one! COngrats, I could identify that it was British but I never expected Farthing instead of a Penny. It should have a bird on the obverse, right?
 

Actually just a picture of King George VI and on the reverse is a crown over top the initials GRJ

Coppercrazy's KGVI is a sixpence. I don't think your goal of 10 sixpences is realistic.
