Epic box of CWR's?

Postby GGerrands » Fri May 16, 2014 1:48 am

I mystery shop at my credit union once a month, and use the $10 for gas money to finance my penny pickups and dropoffs about town.

Usually I go in and buy whatever pennies they have to spare out of the vault. Yeah, they know me.

I got $25 this go round, and just went through the first roll of the box.
Yield: 49 coppers (2 Cu 82's, 4 "s" mints, 2 59's, 1 36 wheat). 1 2001 zincoln!

I better go back over there tomorrow and see what else they have. Just felt like sharing the striking of a "mini copper lode." :D

Edit/update: Finished the box, around $12.50 (50%) copper. There were some rolls that were mediocre, but around 18 rolls the same color wrapper as that first one that were 90% copper or above.

If the rest of the box is even close to those results, you really nailed one!
