Opened 16 rolls of pennies today, and ALL 800 were 1982 or older. Let me spew out the numbers before we discuss the 1982s
642 American copper - pre 1982
133 American 1982
25 Canadian copper
Obviously someone turned in a stash as the actual paper wrappers were OLD!!!!! Therefore, I am guessing that most, or maybe even all of the 1982s are copper. HOWEVER, I do not put them in my copper batches. I cash them in except for the beautiful MS condition ones. Those I try to sell, but don't mind keeping them as well. I would estimate that 25 of the 133 from 1982 were MS/unc condition. Also, I have had great success at this particular bank, but it is far away and I only get to it around 3-4 times a year.
Buy rolls NOW while you still can!
