While I was helping my wife cook dinner my 5 yesr old daughter was unrolling pennies. "Hey daddy...look at this silver penny I found"
I asked her to read the date (I didn't have my glasses),
"one..nine..four...three"
I grabbed a refrigerator magnet and sure enough it stuck!
A few minutes later we found the second. I hadn't found one 1943 after sorting 250k and then we find 2 in one box!
Silver..poor mans gold
Copper..peasant silver

Congrats.

Where were the boxes from? Brinks? I have only found one steel canadian penny in a brinks box. I have found plenty of them in CWR's though. And I have only found steel pennies in CWR's.

I hate those plastic rolls. I guess that's why you had the kid doing it :D.

Me too! You throw the wrapper in a trash box and it floats back out or clings to your hand.

I love those plastic rolls! They are the easiest to open. Also you can reuse them by packing them in a bag and sealing it.. making great packing pillows for when you ship things like pennies. I feel so Green!
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.

They are my favourite as well for that exact reason. Tear and squeeze....

Plain and simple.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I've only gotten plastic wrapped pennies once, on maybe half-a-dozen rolls.

I'm guess I'm growing my carbon footprint by all the paper wraps I throw away, but at least they are biodegradable.

As for the magnet, I have one hanging down from the metal frame above the aluminum reject chute.

It's caught three steel wheaties for me so far, one pretty far gone from corrosion but the other two in decent shape. Worn, but decent.

I embarrassed my wife the other day with a bunch of empty plastic rolls. I had been sitting in traffic, so I took the time to open a bunch of pennies for later sorting. I threw the empty wrappers in the back of the van. Later when one of my wife's friends got in she did not know what to make of them. They do kind of look like condoms.
