Nothing But Zinc

Postby Shifty51 » Thu Nov 19, 2015 7:37 pm

I haven't bought a box in a few years, but I have picked up two boxes in the past two days and both boxes were all 2015's. The reserve must be shipping them out in droves!!

The last time I tried to get pennies - I got the same thing - shiney new 2015s. I have quizzed the tellers - they tell me all the boxed coin they get is new. I haven't been able to get dimes for the last 5 months - same reason. Nickels are ok (from the stacking perspective).

Found a bank and an awesome service manger who sold me a bag from their machine today and told me anytime they have a bag available it's mine if I want it. Finally some copper and hopefully some wheats.

I had a longtime Chase pick up bank that for the last year got nothing but new so had to make the switch to a different branch and have been getting nothing but high percentage boxes since. The last box I picked up netted 33% Cu's plus about 10 wheats and about 30 canuck keepers.
