Got a call from my wife's aunt the other day to see if I wanted a bunch of cents they got in. She said there were some steel cents in the bag and it looked like someone turned in an older collection of pennies. They didn't cash in anything else. I asked. BTW my wife's aunt is the branch manager of a local smaller bank.

Any how the $50 produced the following
851 wheat cents total. 105 of these are steel cents
5 Canadian cents oldest was a 1943
1 very worn Indian Head cent 188? cant make out the last number
1 dime
Approximately 40-50% of the memorials were pre 82 I didn't count


My wife helped me check the back of the coins to find the wheat's and I then ran the memorial cents through the Ryedale. I have another $25 in cents I may run over the weekend.

I thought the 164 I got out of a bag last month was good.

How many were pre- 40's?

Not sure there were some early ones. I have a big jar I put all my wheats in. I haven't really checked them honestly. Maybe one day.
