$25 CWR box from a "newbie" bank. A newbie bank in my terms is simply a bank that I have never been to before.
This box was purchased ten days ago, and finally sorted yesterday.
487 American copper
20 Canadian copper
7 wheats
514 TOTAL COPPER for an average of 10.3 per roll or 20.6 percent.

I'm not presently tracking 1982. Too much work. I have a separate pail for ALL '82, but it's just as likely I'll haul them back on a dump run one of these days. I'd never put the '82 coppers in with my '59 - '81 anyway.

That's a good way to do it. Might as well keep them all in their own sub-stacks since your already examining them the first time around.
I guess I'll keep my pail. Some week when there are no cent boxes to be had it'll give me something to do.

1307 American copper
67 Canadian copper
37 wheats
1411 TOTAL COPPER for an average of only 7.05 per roll or 14.1 percent
ODDS: 14 cad zincs and only one dime (very disappointing!)
NOTE: there were 27 skunk rolls and three other rolls with only one CU. This explains the low percentage
