Because it was a Brinks wrap. I get dimes in those all the time. Brinks wraps are also the most common dud rolls and boxes. You probably got them at Bank of America or Wells Fargo.  |
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. |

Somebodies, or maybe even your dump? Give it a little time. Get pennies from somewhere else for now.

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."

| Maybe it's my dump bank. Where in the North East? I have been dumping prior to my move. They are threatening to limit my daily/weekly dumps because of the volume. |

| That's the government and her subsidiaries taking a giant dump on you. Get used to it. It is not I repeat not the work of small fish. One does not get a sealed bank box of plastic-wrapped mixed date zinc with zero copper and call it the work of a small fish. This is what the Canadian government has termed an "Alloy recovery program". And there are no borders when it comes to these crooks. Try different banks. Many will not even ask if you have an account. Often and in many cities, numerous banks will all be located within a block radius. You can pick up one box from each without drawing too much attention, and you will lower your chances of a bad day. It costs them more money to give you an account than you are worth, unless you plan to deposit a substantial amount of money. Happy hunting. |
