Wow, that is bs. Keep sorting, obviously your percentages will be better. I just wonder how long until the national average is 1%.

Sounds like you need to buy instead of sort!

It does seem location has a lot to do with percentages. I would guess the population of AZ has increased at a much higher rate than the national average in the last 20 years. Also i would suspect that income per capita in AZ has increased faster than the national average. Here in the rust belt it's a real hotbed for copper. I get 25 to 30%. The population growth is stagnant, and I would guess that 20 years ago we held a higher % of the nations wealth than today.

I hope it's soon. The value of my copper will go through the roof...

i think it has more to do with the ratio of population divided by the number of hoardy types and how long the area has been heavily populated

I know that this was probably covered in the old forum, but why do places like yours have such low copper? I thought I understood Los Angeles in that with so much spending zincs flooded the market. But why your area?

It would not surprise me if copper is/was crossing the border to get melted as well.

Well, I will admit to smuggling some accross the border from AZ to CA.. but I didn't melt them.. honest!
Also, cwgii has shipped a few to me in the past.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more

Seems like I get the highest % of coppers when I ask for rolls in banks located in grocery stores. They never ask if I have an account either. They're just happy to get rid of them.
