Interesting set of CWRs today

While running errands today on an off-work day, I did my usual stops at the line of banks on the main road near the house to pick up CWRs. Most of the bank have tellers that are a bit grumpy, but a couple of places are especially nice and will try to help me out if they aren't pressed for time. At last stop at a larger BofA the teller emptied her $10 in CWRs and got me the same from another teller. The 40 rolls were an interesting set. Half the rolls were all copper, and half were all zinc! Never had anything even remotely like it. Ran the zinc rolls through the machine to verify (picked up a couple of 82s that had been missed).

The copper rolls I had to hand inspect, because most of them were 1/4 wheat, 1/4 old canadian, with the balance 59-82. Wow! Never found some many wheats in one day. 4 rolls worth, and about the same in canadian. Haven't inspected them all, but did notice a 1910 abe and a 1932 and a 1938 canadian, as well as bunches of the canadian centennial coins. Going back there now to see if I can get their attention and pick up any others that might be in other drawers.

Agree. Seen the copper rolls before; just never seen the all-zinc rolls. Got 60 more rolls, they were just average - no more of these to be had.
