That's over 41% copper not including the wheats and Canadians!!! Fantastic box....

I suggest you step up your sorting, maybe buy a Ryedale and start selling the coppers.... Your percentage in boxes far exceeds anyone else.

Don't understand... 40 1982s included in the 586 coppers? Why 40 out of 63?

7 Canadian copper - '76,'77,'79,'87,'91,'92,'93

5,000 sorted. Counted by the roll so the numbers are not exact but close. 1100 copper, 100-1982 Zn & Cu, 100 Canadian Copper all 1996 and pre. Including a '39 Rex (I'm close to the border not far from Syracuse, NY). 12 wheaties, best was a '28-S.

$25 CWR pennys

500ish copper (I only count the ones I return)
2018 zinc returned
12 Wheat (1940 is the earliest)
4 Canadian (1 of which was a dove)
12 Ugly Abes - zinc
2 dimes

I bought a second box of pennies, but It is all 2010. It is available in the Auction Area if your interested. Does that kill my stats, or does it not count because I did not open and search each roll?

I'll let you slide as long as your did not open any rolls.

Given your numbers: 2500 pennies - 2018 returned - 12 wheat - 4 Canadian = 466 coppers (non-wheat/non-Canadian).

When I count Ugly Abes, they are ALL copper pennies which don't make the grade as nice clean coppers. I roll all these up together and when I get 50 rolls, I tape a $25 box of them and mark the box "Ugly Abes". Gotta keep the ugly ones away from the good guys as they can be a bad influence because they are bad boys.

A '39 REX is nice find.... In fact, I think any REX Canadian COPPER found these days is a nice find.

It's OK to count by the roll this time, but next time add in the leftovers and then you will have an exact count to report.

When I tabulate the 1982s, it's only the COPPER 1982s that count in the stats.

The only reason I mentioned the ugly abes was they were too ugly/sticky to send thru the coin counter at the bank.

I figured that the pennies in the sealed box were maybe slightly more valuable than opened box and rolls. All I can see is one end of the BWRolls, which all show shiny 2010 Shield cents.

Saved 82 till last then weight sorted them, 40 of 63 were copper.

PTP was reporting her 82s, with her Ryedale that will go away

1 dime too... Always nice to get a few dimes in your penny rolls.

A cousin I had not seen for over 2 years visited me from out-of-state and knew I sorted coins and he surprised me by bringing his 10 year accumulation of coins for me to search.

Hi,

This thread is only for handsorting tracking.

Did you handsort these boxes or run them through your Ryedale?

I think joogaler has a Ace.
