I just did the math on this report. You generated 23 percent copper which is probably almost double your average. I'm glad for your success because I know you have worked hard to remove stuff from circulation. I'm also glad that you do not live in my area because there would be nothing left for me to drain out!!! Lol

Sorted a full CWR box yesterday ($25 face)
458 American copper
22 Canadian copper
8 wheats
488 TOTAL COPPER for an average of 9.9 per roll or 19.8 percent
Also pulled two dimes from this box. So technically, I bought this box for $24.82 cents!

I watch a utuber, thecoinchannel....
He pointed out that in 2017 the mint placed a P on them. I did not know that.
So...,one more ,,, category to watch for,
In this last batch...2017 p...8
That made them 3.5 x less common than a wheat.
????? Worth it. Why not,I'm looking at them anyway.

Yesterday and the day before I sorted 40 CWR'S -all from the same teller. These were VERY productive rolls!
680 American copper
9 Wheats
132 Canadian copper
821 TOTAL COPPER for an average of 20.5 per roll or 41 percent. The first five rolls were especially good - 56 percent copper.
NOTE: Every coin (even the zincs) was 2000 or older.

Sorted 17 rolls today - all CWR'S, all from the same bank, a bank that I only get to 3-4 times a year. Excellent results!
437 American copper
22 Canadian copper
2 wheats
461 TOTAL COPPER for an average of 27.1 per roll or 54.2 percent!
I must say that two of these rolls were 100 percent copper and two others were 96 percent copper. If you subtract them out, then the average would be "only" 20 per roll or 40 percent.
Wish I could find batches like this more often.

Without using a calculator, I can see that you pulled 50 thousand copper cents, which is an average of almost 1000 per week. Meanwhile, you mentioned 291 cu Canadian - are any of those King George?
