A box of nickels and a wheat penny

I ran by the bank today and picked up a box of nickels.  The teller was really sweet this time and told me good luck searching - finally, a teller that understands!

So, I went through 10 rolls tonight - found 3 or 4 that were 50+ years old, including a 1939.  Nothing I needed though - so back to the wild they go.

10 rolls of cents didn't go much better.  I found a really ugly 1944 wheat.  Since it was just covered in verdigris on the reverse, I didn't even bother taking a picture.  I did gather 81 coppers though, which is a bit better than average at just over 16%.
