1982. What the heck? I just went through $25 in CWRs. I save the '82s seperately until I have a machine to check them for copper. Seems to be one of the most common years. I didn't get another sorter's dump, because I found a couple wheats, some canadians, and plenty of copper. Lots of 81s and 83s even. The teller at the bank had to run around looking for rolls just to give me $25, apparently the Brinks truck just left. What happened to all the 82s? Is there some other collectible value out there I'm not aware of?

Hm. I get plenty. I set them aside and then when I have a big enough pile I bounce them off of the back of a plate and sort them by sound. Its real easy once you figure out to listen for the high pitched ring.

If memory serves me 1982 has the largest mintage of any 95% copper year so you will get a lot of them. I accumulate 50 to 75 from each $25 string box and weigh each one at the end of the day. My copper rate on 82s is a dismal 40% though.
