Now up to 800 rolls, or sixteen boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. Many thanks to the mods for adding the Canadian penny categories.

The pennies listed below are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 701-800:

* 1942 - 1977: 486, or 9.72%.
* 1978 - 1979: 106, or 2.12%.
* 1980 - 1981: 219, or 4.38%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1159, or 23.18%
* U.S. pre-'82: 117, or 2.34%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 56, or 1.12%. Eleven (11) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2143, or 42.86%.

Lucky for me, I'm still in the above-40% zone. Looks like the Canadian pennies haven't been sifted that much.

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 261, or 5.22%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)

I've managed to plow though 900 rolls, or eighteen boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 801-900:

* 1942 - 1977: 432, or 8.64%.
* 1978 - 1979: 104, or 2.08%.
* 1980 - 1981: 186, or 3.72%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1255, or 25.10%
* U.S. pre-'82: 123, or 2.46%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 18, or 0.36%. Five (5) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2118, or 42.36%.

Lucky me - I'm still on the good side of 40%.

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 310, or 6.20%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)

I cheated a little on this box. I weighed all the rolls out of two boxes, and sorted the heaviest ones. Going to do the same on my next two boxes, and return the light rolls to the bank. I'm wondering if this is going to work out well or not.
