A box of $24.50 (instead of the usual $25.00) yielded...

303 Pre-1982's
14 Copper 1982's (the other 9 were zinc)
11 Wheaties (that included a 1936-S and 1939)
328 Total Coppers (13.4%)

Also:
3 Canadian pennies
6 Pennies from 2009 (only save BU's)

My copper percentages are very low partly because I am very picky about what I accept. I will not accept lots of coins that others might take for their copper stacks.

Funny story about the box- my daughter had it in her car for probably about 4 years. It was hidden in the back with the spare tire and she didn't see it until just a few weeks ago. She said, "Dad, I think this is yours." I said, "Geez, how in the world did you guess it would be mine?" :)
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.
