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

Re: First brick
Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 12:52 amMy 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)
Re: First brick
Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:14 pmI 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.

Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2010 2:17 pmI've been over the 30% mark on bricks before. However I've had some where I'd get skunked with 2010 whole rolls.
