Well, I haven't had much time for sorting, but I have been doing a little buying.
Went to Phoenix Saturday and snuck $35 in pennies out of a couple of banks in Charlie's backyard and through the airport to get them back to the penny processing center. I know percentages are lower in AZ.. but I just can't go into a bank and not try to score some pennies.
Picked up 2 boxes from one of my dump banks today.
Got $54 CWR from another of my banks today on a drive-by.
Ordered 24 boxes from each of a couple of my supply banks for Tuesday and Thursday pickup.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available. |

Highest box % for me yet 752 coppers (30%) 13 Wheat including 2 pre 1940 9 Canadian including two early 40's
Pretty cool box, two rolls right in the center had most of the wheats, the two early 40 canadians, and about 30 super shiny near unc pennies from the early 70's. Kind of odd but nice. |
