$317 machine rolls

7402 '59-'81
433 '82 cu
195 wheat
161 Canada pre-'97
149 mixed cu ugly

Loomis rolls are pushing out String in my area, and they seem to have a lower cu percentage. It will take a few more months before I could say that for sure though.

Struck a nice vein today - 20 rolls of pennies:

443 - 44.3% copper...not much of numismatic interest though, 4 canadian including a 1945 and 4 wheat cents - a 1955s being the best of those.

Two nice finds today: an '09 VDB, and from the last roll of the last box...a 1920 King George V. For me, these are scarcer than Indians, which is strange considering the large amount of Canadian I go thru. Might be only the 2nd one I ever sorted.
