Oh Yeah yesterday, I forgot to add my 1970 Bermuda penny I found in one of those boxes

[thunter]

I had to sort something to post to at least get on the board for the month!

Month to date:

600 Total searched
154 CU
2 Canada CU
2 Wheats

158 total CU

First roll of 10,000 and the stats look good. 29/50 regular copper. The thirtieth copper was a 1939 penny in F-VF shape: a "King's Speech" coin. First roll lucky

I need the exact number of non-wheat/non-Canadian/non-82 Copper to include you in the stats. Thanks..

I take the wheats out, so it's under "pre-'82 copper." For the first batch, it's 156. I'll be more explicit next time.

Now up to 300 rolls, or six boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. Here are the (less vague) stats for rolls 201-300:

* 1942 - 1977: 396, or 7.92%.
* 1978 - 1979: 123, or 2.46%.
* 1980 - 1981: 165, or 3.30%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1263, or 25.26%
* U.S. pre-'82: 120, or 2.38%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 19, or 0.38%. Three of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2087, or 41.74%.

My percentage is still sliding, but it's well above 40% still. I hope I don't crack 40 on the next hundred rolls, but the odds say I might.

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 292, or 5.84%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)
