It has been a while since I posted to this thread. I decided to include the details of a $25 box of pennies that I just hand sorted. The box was obtained about a year ago and I finally went through it this month. Here are the details:
Pre '82 coppers 358
'82 coppers 27 (also 11 '82 zincs)
Wheaties 9 (found a 1929 in there)
TOTAL COPPERS 394 (15.76% of box)
Canadians 7 (6 were pre '97- 1 of these was from 1950)
Note that I don't save ugly or mutilated coppers- they go back to the bank and aren't included in the numbers above.
With copper today going above $2.80 a pound for the first time since roughly April, 2015, I'm surprised that copper isn't getting a bit more attention on this site.
