$25 Box - better results

615 non-wheat / non-82 / non-Canadian
+7 wheats (1944, 1945, 1951D, 1953D, 1956D, 1957D X 2)
+59 copper 1982's out of 71
0 Canadian (1981)

Almost 27% not counting the wheats, my best box of the year

$55 customer wrapped. Poorly done, I might add.

1394 total copper, good for over 25.3%. That consists of:
1200 "average coppers" (1961-81)
(50 of those were my first all-copper roll, which was actually labeled "1970's")
15 wheats (including 1919S, 1920S, 1936D)
1959 x2, 1959D x8
1960 x1, 1960D x12
S memorials x8
1973 Kennedy stamped coin
4 Canadians (3 copper)

1982 large date x34 (+11 zinc)
1982 small date x2 (+1 zinc)
1982D large date x108 (+7 zinc)
1982D small date x0 (+11 zinc)
(so the 174 1982's were almost 83% copper overall)

2009P/D x179 including all 8 types, but only 2 of the type 3 Denver
2010P/D x309
(so nearly 9% from the last 2 years)

EDIT: forgot to say what was so "poorly done" about these rolls. There were 7 dimes included. 3 rolls with one, and 2 with 2 dimes each. I counted the coins in those rolls, and some actually still had 50 cents as well as the dime... the second one with 2 dimes had 48 cents though. At that point (over $45 into the sort), I decided to count the coins in each roll. Many of them had either 1 cent extra or 1 too few. But, at least for the rolls I checked, more were over than under. I think the dimes made up for any shortages...

Hahaha no... I was saying that the rolls were poorly done by whoever brought them in, because so many of them were off.

Been searching a bunch of coins a friend of mine has saved over the years. He doesnt care about silver or copper so he told me to take what I want and dump the rest on my weekly dump runs and bring him back the FRN's.

Havent kept a running count of amount I have searched, just too hard with a bunch of mixed change.

CU found:
246 CU Memorials
3 wheats (1912 the oldest)

Will report more as I dig through these.

Thanks for the report. Since you don't have the total pennies searched, I am not going to add this report to the stats.
