The update that I promised... 21 of the 1982's above were copper- the other 11 were zinc. So that means that 15.76% of the coins searched were coppers.

The update that I promised- does anyone read this stuff anymore?

18 of the 31 1982's above were copper. In total, only 269 pennies were copper. That is only 10.76%, a new all-time low percentage for me. This smashed the previous low percentage of 12.25% set from rolls received on 10/28/14.
