I just hit $500.00 fv/cu! I know some of you are way beyond that, but I've only been at this for a few months. Feels like I finished taking a big step, and now I'm looking towards the next.

Made it to 600 rolls, or twelve boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 501-600:

* 1942 - 1977: 397, or 7.94%.
* 1978 - 1979: 147, or 2.94%.
* 1980 - 1981: 168, or 3.36%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1147, or 22.94%
* U.S. pre-'82: 127, or 2.54%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 26, or 0.52%. Three (3) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2012, or 40.24%.

Although my percentages slipped back, I'm still on the right side of 40%

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 281, or 5.62%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)

I made it to 600 rolls, or twelve boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 501-600:

* 1942 - 1977: 440, or 8.80%.
* 1978 - 1979: 130, or 2.60%.
* 1980 - 1981: 170, or 3.40%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1205, or 24.10%
* U.S. pre-'82: 139, or 2.78%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 29, or 0.58%. Eight (8) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2110, or 42.20%.

Luckily for me, I'm staying on the good side of 40%. Based on what I've seen so far, 40% or so seems to be the rough expected yield.

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 271, or 5.42%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)
