So many wheats, I need my own silo...

[Ben-Ro]

Ok, maybe that was a bit of hyperbole, but I still found a bunch today! I bought my first box of pennies to sort over the holiday weekend. I found 1 wheatie (1911) and about 5 copper. I was sorely disappointed.

So, I decided to try to rectify that box by looking for some CWR today. Stumbled across a bank that had $16.50 worth of pennies.

On a side note, I started doing pennies because my half boxes have been so crappy lately I needed something to ease my frustration.

Out of $16.50 in pennies I pulled:

85 wheaties
518 coppers
1998 Wide AM (pics coming later)

Here's the wheaties I pulled:

Also curious as to the possible value of the Wide AM I found. It's not in great condition, and, being a silver hawk and not a numismatist, I'm not sure about grading. I'll update with pics tomorrow morning.

Probably note much, especially with condition problems. 1999 WAM is really the only one (of the 1998-2000 WAMs) that holds any value.
