Is anyone having any luck lately? I average about 20 per 100 or so.
Not bad returns on the investment in my opinion, but I have a
Special place in my heart for copper.

Copper percentages have been steadily declining for me. Recent boxes have been below 15%. I have a lot of customer wrapped rolls that I picked up recently waiting to be sorted. Hopefully those will yield better results.

Do you guys buy bullion too? I found about 30 copper cents in four rolls but I also bought a sleeve of 20 advp copper rounds

My copper cents average is about 16%. I pick up a copper bullion bar or round every now and then if the design is nice.

My average is a steady 20-25%. I'd love to invest in copper rounds/bars but the premiums are just ridiculous! I do have several tubes of misc 1 oz rounds that came in some mystery boxes I've bought here on RC :)

I played around a couple of boxes and 1 bag. 22% to 26% except for my last box....had 103 coppers. It was loaded with mostly 2015 zincers.
