There was a time, maybe 4 months or more, ago, when I picked up some plastic roll Brinks penny boxes and they were all zincolns. I thought it was due to the high$$ ongoing cent sorting going on by a certain individual out of NC. I picked up a Brinks box the other day and the percentage of copper in it was decent. Possibly the copper is coming back to the Brinks boxes? Mind you, I was doing the paper rolled bank boxes of pennies these past months and had good percentages. So, is it safe to go full bore again with Brinks in your opinion?

Yes, I'd noticed the same thing a few months ago. I had guessed that their order was filled, but I recently read somewhere that the order was cancelled.

Been doing terrible for months with Brinks till last week. $50 worth and $23 worth of copper in them. :D
Hoping it continues but I'll know more when I get another $50 tomorrow.

Yes, the order they had is no longer around so they aren't sorting the copper out at the moment.
