Copper Penny Handsorter Tracking

[PreservingThePast]

$25 box from the bank finished last night while watching various NFL games.

614 coppers
15 wheats - included a 1920
2 Canadian's
Also one shiny dime found. This is the first time I have gotten a dime in a bank roll (out of thousands sorted). I have often found dingy dimes in customer rolls from the bank, but never in a bank roll.

Has anyone else ever gotten a dime from a bank roll?

Yes, I have. Always nice to get a bit extra to make up for the many, many rolls that are shorted these days.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

WOULD YOU like the stats from the first of the year????

Not me... I've only been maintaining this thread since September 2010, not before. Just keep posting your new finds though.

I'm only 17 rolls in to a $25 bank box and it seems that every roll has 20+ copper pennies in it (one had 32 out of 50). So far im 347/850 (almost 41%) and 23 of them are wheat (2 of the rolls had 4 wheat each).

I will report back when the box is done with the final tally.

I looked at the stats for November, it looks like my last box is the lightest copper at 17% . I hope they get better.

My percentage is drifting down too. I'm hoping my COPPER percentage does not fall too much from 22%. My last box was 19.9% COPPER.
