Best boxes yet !!! UPDATE

Postby theshoenlebens » Fri May 25, 2012 6:45 pm

Alright guys, some have seen my recent posts about getting TERRIBLE Brinks boxes. Finding a handfull, if lucky, in $50 worth of pennies.
Well, picked up my usual $50 and opened a box and WOW. Hardly any shine at all. Opened the other....the same. Split open all the rolls and found a total of 4894 coppers. :D :D :D
106 zincs for a percentage of .02. NICE. Havent really checked the coppers for wheats and canadians but while busting them open I found 49 canadians and 17 wheats. Can't wait till I can look through them. i'll let you know if I find anything good :D

Well guys, did find a 1909 in the bunch but not the "good" ones. :lol:

Got another $50 today and you guessed it.......The two boxes had a total of ......wait for it.........86% copper 8-) . Thinking about calling up and ordering a couple extra for next week. LOL

I've noticed a few boxes like this and they tend to come in clumps. I've always attempted to get any other boxes they had.

Buy all the other coin denominations! There's a chance they are rotating their stock in the warehouse and got back to the wall. Maybe they had to fix some shelving and needed to clear out all the old stuff sitting around.
