I’m totally confused about something you are reporting here. You mention P and D mints, but I don’t know what years you are referring to. Why not report S mints as well? I don’t know if many of these P and D mints are 1974 or earlier and therefore being double-counted. Why are you not reporting 1975-81 as they are also copper?

It would be helpful to know what percent of the pennies you look through are actually copper.

Cwgii, Thanks for taking the time to post your results!

I just figure folks know by now. 75-81, D,P.
As I have 9 square coin tubes in a container.

Top left is 68-72
Middle left .73-4
Bottom 60-67

Top middle, is 75-81 d, cruddy
Mid mid 82
Middle bottom 75-81 d

Right top.. ..crappy zinc
Mid...is wheat, CDN, 59 and odds
Right bottom...75-81 P.

Tmi???

As to a %%%. That would require a timely weighing of the 82. Something I am lax about.

I figure my cu,%/ is from 11-14.

I’m still confused about whether you are double counting. For instance, if you find a 1972-D, do you count it as both a “D”-mint coin and also as a 1968-1972 coin?

1982's weighed this morning.

Not a report, rather an odd occurrence. Or two.

In all the years of sorting, I think it might be 5-10 times, I had a ,wheat, on the end of a roll.

Secondly. I got ,Silver, in my copper.
A 1941 sixpence.
My memory fails me. I thought I remembered a thread for finding that. I can remember being frustrated that here I was, the largest ,hand sorter, but not being in that ,club.
So, so long ago.I thought it was a threepence.that I finally found.

This is a huge report. Began sorting these rolls in early July and finished about a week ago. Haven't opened any pennies since (taking a break from them) This is a $193 report! Almost 8 Boxes! All 386 rolls were CWR

2748 U.S. copper
164 Canadian copper inc four King George
74 Wheats
2986. Total copper for an average of 7.73 per roll
Roughly 15 and a half percent copper, which is low for me.
