| highly unusual for me. as i think i may have the lowest cu% in the country. i avg around 15% of 59-81. as i dont count the 82s which would add about 1.4% |

| That's about the same percentage I get. Every once in a while, I'll get lucky just like you just did. |

| That is correct, dakota1955. I just found a 1935 wheat penny in a roll with 15 coppers! May everyone's luck continue! |

I think you guys that go to the effort of asking for CWR's have better results than us box guys, but I just don't have the time to ask for them. I'm lucky to have the chance to pick up $500 a week from one location. 
Great find, btw |
Hoard now and hold on!

| Yes, CWR's are much better in most cases. However, I've found several CWR's that almost skunked me. Still, the majority of them have better turnouts than Fed Rolls or what others call Bank Wrapped Rolls. |

| I love CWRs. They usually come from people collecting coins in a jar for years and then at some point decide to deposit everything at the bank. |

| I got my first lot of CWRs yesterday. I love them! Congrats on the copper turn out. |
