October 2011 Copper Penny Handsorter Tracking

Postby Country » Fri Sep 30, 2011 3:30 pm

Hello Fellow Copper Penny Handsorters:

In October 2011, 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 2011 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 2011 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 Oct 31, 2011 10:19 pm forum time and earlier.

Now up to 400 rolls, or eight boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 301-400:

* 1942 - 1977: 390, or 7.80%.
* 1978 - 1979: 128, or 2.56%.
* 1980 - 1981: 158, or 3.16%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1103, or 22.06%
* U.S. pre-'82: 132, or 2.64%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 25, or 0.50%. Nine (9) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 1936, or 38.72%.

After some good percentages, I'm going to ground. HIgh thirties is still something to be thankful for, but my beginner's luck is running out.

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 295, or 5.90%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)

I did it. I've been crazy enough to sort through 10,000 rolls of pennies. Almost makes you think, "some people will do anything to build up a coin collection."

Made it past the 500th roll in my 10,000 roll journey, after going through two more boxes. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 401-500:

* 1942 - 1977: 448, or 8.96%.
* 1978 - 1979: 176, or 3.52%.
* 1980 - 1981: 237, or 4.74%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1511, or 30.22%
* U.S. pre-'82: 217, or 4.34%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 20, or 0.40%. Six of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2609, or 52.18%.

I really got lucky with these hundred rolls. It's the first time I cracked 50%. (And what's with not counting Canadian coppers in the searcher scores? :? )

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 404, or 8.08%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)

Yeesh! If I was pulling 50% Canadian copper I'd throw back my '82s, too.
