November 2011 Copper Penny Handsorter Tracking

[Country]

Hello Fellow Copper Penny Handsorters:

In November 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!!

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 Nov 30, 2011 9:51 pm forum time and earlier.

Another month, another slew of pennies. I'm now up to 1,500 rolls, or thirty boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 1,401-1,500:

* 1942 - 1977: 388, or 7.76%.
* 1978 - 1979: 115, or 2.30%.
* 1980 - 1981: 156, or 3.12%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1172, or 23.44%
* U.S. pre-'82: 136, or 2.72%. 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%. Thirteen (13) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 1992, or 39.84%.

I lucked out in the wheatie department, but almost all of the wheaties are common dates that I've already blogged about. I'm actually starting to scramble in the blogging department....

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 321, or 6.42%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)

Again, I couldn't make 40% and I'm still slumped in the "keepers" department. Maybe next box...

I'm reached 1,700 rolls, or thirty-four boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 1,601-1,700:

Currently burning the midnight oil for a particularly crazy reason. I'm now up to 1,800 rolls, or thirty-six boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 1,701-1,800:

My luck has certainly taken a turn for the better. Good consolation for the bumped Nightline special.

Now up to 1,900 rolls, or thirty-eight boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 1,801-1,900:

Good percentage, but the number of "keepers" is still low. Not very much to blog about these days.

This post makes for a milestone and acceleration. Because I'm subjecting myself to a kind of endurance test, I'm going to be cranking the boxes out quickly for the next several days. At least, I hope I will be.

I'm now up to 2,000 rolls, or forty boxes, in my 10,000 roll journey. The pennies are Canadian unless otherwise identified. Here are the stats for rolls 1,901-2,000:

* 1942 - 1977: 450, or 9.00%.
* 1978 - 1979: 121, or 2.42%.
* 1980 - 1981: 229, or 4.58%.
* 1982 - 1996: 1377, or 27.54%
* U.S. pre-'82: 121, or 2.42%. These are all non-wheat, non-'82 coppers.
* "Keepers," or semi-numismatic coppers that a naive or sentimental collector would keep: 11, or 0.22%. Seven (7) of them are wheaties.
------------------------------------
Total coppers: 2309, or 46.18%.

This batch was particularly lucky, thanks to the first box which yielded more than 50% coppers. Unsurprisingly, my luck fell to ground on the second box. Still seeing a dearth of keepers...

Another tracking category of interest:
* U.S. pennies, '82 and after: 296, or 5.92%. (I dump away all '82s, so I have zero '82 coppers.)
