Every box I search for copper has at least several BU or close to BU pennies...many older ones, 1964, 1968, etc...

Im wondering how do those nice coins get in them rolls?

People that were holding them before dumping them?

Or just lucky coins that went untouched for tens of years?

Desperate times call for desperate measures....

Deal

Live free or die.
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."
- Samuel Adams

I've seen some "fresh" coins dating back about 5 years in a batch I bought directly off a customer at a RBC. He said he just throws all his coin in jars and then rolls it up every few years. So I'm thinking he got new coin in the past, and it has sat until he sold it to me in rolls.

Two weeks ago I picked up a box of pennies and came up with about 21 BU 1959Ps. Last week, I picked up box and came up with 1.5 rolls of BU 1964Ps. Today I picked up a box and am finishing off the second roll of 1964Ps. Must be bad times if people are parting with this stuff. I hope they let the indians loose!
