Just an FYI- I don't keep the dirty ones (unless they are really good dates). I figure that if I am selling to a collector, they might go along with the "copper is copper" rationale.

I just sorted 10 rolls that I picked up at the bank. The teller was very friendly about it. Here's my results:
Roll #1: 4 good ones
#2: 4
#3: 3
#4: 5
#5: 7
#6: 1
#7: 5
#8: 7
#9: 8
#10: 3
Total: 47 good ones.

Oldest: 1959, 1 penny

That's a lot of work for not very many keepers. But I always picked up pennies before so it's all good. I'll trade in the new ones for more rolls and try again next week.

Wow that is amazingly low for such a large lot. I'm gonna guess that half or more of the rolls came from the same party- a copper collector.
