Wheats:

3 - 1940s/1950s

Copper non-wheat (53.04%):

7 - Canada (1964, 1970, 1973, 1977, 1987, 1994, 2001)
1 - U.S. clad dime

These were all from a single pickup at one branch. The teller told me a customer had brought in a lot of pennies that he had been saving up for years. It was a fairly old hoard with most of the wheats pulled out but with over 50% copper I'm not complaining. There were more rolls that I picked up on a separate visit to that branch. I'm hoping that batch is more from the same hoard.

Thanks John. The next batch seems to contain the remainder of that hoard plus rolls from other customers. I still need to finish up sorting and counting the last bit and then I'll post the totals. Oh yeah, there's another Indian in there too. :D
