I wish I could find a box of mixed date pennies. All I'm getting are 2010.
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.

27%!!! I wanna get pennies at your bank. Where is it at so I can bring the cart and load up? :mrgreen:

Dude.. try a different bank or ask for customer wrapped rolls.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more

It's kind of like potato chips. Once you get a tasty one, you gotta go back for more. :mrgreen:

27% is a good percentage. If that percentage continues, you're in a good area to harvest COPPER. Best of Luck!!! :)

I get RIDICULOUSLY high percentages...upwards of 30% generally but I deal mostly with CWR.

My percentages from either the string or brinks boxes run anywhere from the low 20%'s to the low 30%'s! I score bags from one bank and they go from the low 20's to 40%. (worse and best)

I have been sorting for a few months and just got a box the other day from the bank and all but three pennies were 1980 or older. Found one wheat penny. Found one penny from 2005, one 1995 and one 1987. did not find any 1982 or 1981 pennies. This really struck me as weird. Any ideas what this was about. Usually I am around 20% copper.

I've been over the 30% mark on bricks before. However I've had some where I'd get skunked with 2010 whole rolls.
