May 2016 Copper Penny Handsorter Tracking

Postby Country » Sat Apr 30, 2016 4:42 pm

Hello Fellow Copper Penny Handsorters:

In May 2016, please post your finds right here.

For those of us who handsort our COPPER, this is the place to report your COPPER treasure. I'll be working up some statistics as the reports flow.

Please report the face value of the pennies searched and the total number of US COPPERs found. Also, list the total number of Wheats, COPPER Canadians, and any wonderful Indian Heads you find. If you find foreign coins in your search for COPPERs, list them too. List the percentage of COPPERs found: the percentage I use is the number of coppers (non-Wheats, non-Canadians) found in the face value of pennies searched. Personally, I breakdown my US COPPERs into 4 categories: Wheats, Clean COPPERS (1959-1981), Ugly Abes (1959-1981), and 1982s (the Ugly 1982s I send them back into the wild); I roll mine up separately and put them into separate $25 boxes for storage.

I'll try to post some graphs of our COPPER finds as 2016 proceeds along by adding data to this initial post. I'll see if I can post some interesting insights into the data here in this initial post for 2016 too. Even though this is a national tabulation of all our finds, I think its fun to know what finds are being made and at what frequentcy.

It might be interesting to see how many Indian Heads, Wheats, and COPPER pennies are found . I'll try to keep track of all of these.

Now, go out and find the COPPER treasure!! :mrgreen:

Those of you who are copper handsorters and are considering becoming RealCent members - Why not join today and stake your COPPER claims right here? Compete with other members in the race to see who is the best COPPER handsorter.

Statistical data includes all posts May 1, 2016 mid-night forum time and later.

Copper non-wheat (5.94%): :thumbdown:
205 - Memorial 1959-1981
92 - Memorial 1982

1 - Canada (1993)

A big part of this batch was someone's dump of pennies from 1982 to 2003. The 1982's had not been separated so at least I got some copper there including a 1982-S proof.
