Sweet!

I remember when I used to get bags :cry:

TD's coin service now forbids them from selling bags (supposedly)
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747

So-wheat! Sounds like someone dumped Grandpa's wheat collection. Getting bags must be nice, I've tried tons of banks and none will sell me bags :cry:

The "average" was talking about 10 wheats from one bag. My copper percentages range from 18% to 49%. At least from my bags. The boxes, which I haven't done in awhile, still average roughly 28%.

Just ran 2 more bags, $100 face. Feels like close to 40% to me! Low wheats and more canadians! :D
