That comes to just a little less than one per box. But I sort mostly bags - this $340 was 6 bags and 80 rolls - so yeah... about 2 per bag, or one per box, or .038%. That is sure to vary as I sort the two bags calling my name right now...
2013 totals so far:
$1,331 sorted
43 pre40 Lincolns, 2 Indians, and one 1937 Canadian (George VI's first year) found.
1.73 pre40s per bag
.032% just pre40 Lincolns, or .035% including all pre40s.
