$25 CWR box from a "newbie" bank. A newbie bank in my terms is simply a bank that I have never been to before.
This box was purchased ten days ago, and finally sorted yesterday.

487 American copper
20 Canadian copper
7 wheats
514 TOTAL COPPER for an average of 10.3 per roll or 20.6 percent.

$50 bank boxes

10.50 cu
33 wheat, oldest '17 & a poor man's '55 dd
1 indian 1906
14 Canada cu

I'm not presently tracking 1982. Too much work. I have a separate pail for ALL '82, but it's just as likely I'll haul them back on a dump run one of these days. I'd never put the '82 coppers in with my '59 - '81 anyway. :thumbdown:

That's a good way to do it. Might as well keep them all in their own sub-stacks since your already examining them the first time around.

I guess I'll keep my pail. Some week when there are no cent boxes to be had it'll give me something to do.

$100 report All 200 rolls were CWR. Sort began about a week ago and finished this morning

1307 American copper
67 Canadian copper
37 wheats

1411 TOTAL COPPER for an average of only 7.05 per roll or 14.1 percent

ODDS: 14 cad zincs and only one dime (very disappointing!)

NOTE: there were 27 skunk rolls and three other rolls with only one CU. This explains the low percentage
