Saturday I did my usual "banking" There are two branches of the same major bank I try to hit every few weeks, they are 10-15 miles apart. The tellers know me by site and always save cents for me. But what is strange they both said I have a lot of pennines for you and they are old

One branch had $32 the other had $54 I didn't think much about them other than the wrappers were old looking and faded. Well when I got home a few hours later I looked closer, on the $32 buy many of the rolls said "50 all 1945" or 57 or 58 or 41 etc. Total 44 rolls solid wheats on the other buy I opened all and found 200 wheats. But then I decided to run the memorials through my ryedale. Probably 52-53% coppers.

breakdown
$86 = 65% copper

$24 wheats
$32 coppers
$30 zinc

Any good dates?
No, just common 40s & 50s. I could tell that these collectors probably had a coin bucket and just tossed in there, probably stopping in the late 80s.

All the rolls that were solid have been rolled many years ago but all the coins are average circulated and just as brown as a wheat you find today.
