Well, Hi and Howdy newbie! Welcome to LCR.
Yes, I think a lot of us have to roll hunt just to maintain the addiction... whoops, did I say the 'a' word?
I am lucky if I get through a bank box, or what others call a 'brick', a week. You can learn a lot about how to hunt, what to look for, and what you find, here on LCR.
My searches average 5 wheat and 4 Canadian cents per $25.00 box from the bank. Most of the time the wheat cents I find are rather non-collectible in appearance, but I keep them anyway.
Be sure to keep an eagle eye open for the copper coins also as there are numerous varieties to be found.
You will quickly find that most of us here want to see pictures of your special finds.
Good Luck!
Jean

I have many pennies, but selling them off gradually (duplicates), just finished selling all my rolls of RPM wheat and Memorials. I am growing weary of zincolns and turning
to Canada--the large cents, big old bank tokens, and provinces. I have large collection of doubled columns, save all Doubled Abe Body Parts, slants, triples, anamolies. Don't buy wheats anymore, hard to get rid of here. Have sold many wheats here, but most buyers evade me for fear I have bled the wheats dry. BTW,
I live 103 miles from Jacksonville and will see you at coin show.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to hearing and seeing of your good finds. I have a Canadian small cent set I'm working on also, starting with 1934 to 2007. All have been found in rolls.
