1% COPPER

Postby cwgii » Mon May 09, 2011 5:46 am

friday i was in a hurry. just went in and got 3 boxes of pennies. normally i ask them to open the boxes. due to this...... getting a box that is mostly 2011.

but i had to be at 'work' in a few minutes. so i spent hours getting 1% OUT OF THE THREE BOXES. . not fun, but as i had nothing else to do......

Wow, that is bs. Keep sorting, obviously your percentages will be better. I just wonder how long until the national average is 1%.

Sounds like you need to buy instead of sort!

Yes you need to buy...yes indeed!

We'll have to throw some wheats in there to keep it real!

It does seem location has a lot to do with percentages. I would guess the population of AZ has increased at a much higher rate than the national average in the last 20 years. Also i would suspect that income per capita in AZ has increased faster than the national average. Here in the rust belt it's a real hotbed for copper. I get 25 to 30%. The population growth is stagnant, and I would guess that 20 years ago we held a higher % of the nations wealth than today.

I hope it's soon. The value of my copper will go through the roof...

Cu %

Postby scentavoh » Tue May 10, 2011 12:08 am

i think it has more to do with the ratio of population divided by the number of hoardy types and how long the area has been heavily populated

I know that this was probably covered in the old forum, but why do places like yours have such low copper? I thought I understood Los Angeles in that with so much spending zincs flooded the market. But why your area?

It would not surprise me if copper is/was crossing the border to get melted as well.

Well, I will admit to smuggling some accross the border from AZ to CA.. but I didn't melt them.. honest!

Also, cwgii has shipped a few to me in the past. :mrgreen:
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more

Seems like I get the highest % of coppers when I ask for rolls in banks located in grocery stores. They never ask if I have an account either. They're just happy to get rid of them.
