Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2022 2:01 pmBought 12 rolls of pennies last Wed that were in old pink wrappers. It was a pleasure to open them today as the newest ones were from 1975. All 600 cents were from 1959-1975. 100 percent copper!!!!

Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2022 3:24 pmI decided to pick up $10 in pennies today to see what the percentages are like in my area these days. It was a mix of bank wrapped and customer wrapped rolls. The BWRs were about what I would expect to find. The CWRs were discouraging with a copper percentage just above 10%. The CWRs were 12 coins short and included one plastic play penny.

Are you weighing the 1982’s to make sure they’re copper? Coppers weigh about 3.1 grams- zincs weigh about 2.6.

Yes, I weigh them on a small digital scale.
