$1000 halfs - 1 90%, 16 40%, 1 gold plated 1971, and a 1967 copper penny the size of a half dollar that has a seated trojan on one side, and Elizabeth on the other. What country is this from? Sorry, I left my camera overseas, so no pic for now
Also picked up $325 in cents. 12 boxes from one bank and 1 box from another. So far, 3/12 are 100% zincs from brinks, the other bank box was a good mix.
What are the weights of the zinc boxes, plastic wrapped? I don't want to sort the rest if they are all zincs  so I was going to weigh them first. |

About 15-16 pounds if I remember correctly. Im sure that someone else here can tell you exact weight. |

Just went through 2 boxes ($1000) of Half Dollars.
Total Silver Count:
11x90% (5x Franklin, 1x Liberty, 5x 1964 Kennedy)
30x40%
Totals were very evenly split between both boxes.
Time to start dumping! |

Standard zinc dud Brinks boxes are 14.06-14.10 pounds.
The copper coin sounds like it might be a British large cent.
$100 Quarters - skunk - 70 cents short
$450 dimes - skunk - 3 dimes short

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. |

$500 halves = SKUNK
Also stood up again by a pickup bank that is apparently soon to become a dump bank.
I'm counting Wizard1 in for 3 boxes since it was just reported.

WINDAgE: your 3/19 post -
What is "last night 2 boxes Brinks, again "stinks""
