Boxes have been weighing 2 ounces lighter lately - 14.7-14.8. lbs.
I have also been getting 75% 2008-D boxes - over 30 in 3 weeks.
They are flooding Houston.

Beer is my currency.

I still don't see a lot of 2008's in my area. Something to be thankful for, I guess.

So long, Realcent 1. Come visit us at Realcent.org!

I just got skunked on about 10 dollars of CWR. It was the first time in a long time that I had seen rolls with no copper. I was wondering if others were still getting skunked because a few months ago there was a lot of talk of people getting skunked on a regular basis. Hopefully your lighter boxes and 2008's are just a temporary thing.

I have been flooded with 2008s as well lately. Traded four boxes today only to get another one. Trade that one too at another bank.

if ya'll want to sell your unopened 2008 boxes let me know. I will pay 120.00 total for four boxes and 10.00 for flat rate shipping. 20.00 extra bucks for you instead of taking them back. the boxes with the holes in the bottem are the ones I prefer

I think you will have to take the pennies out of one of the boxes to get all 4 boxes in one Flat Rate Box. But it should be no problem making weight since they are all zinc.

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.

I will check to see if they will fit in the morning. I have plenty of flat rate boxes at the house. Plus a nice stack of unopen penny boxes too. If I could just get Little Taz ( Ryedale) to act right he could chew threw those boxes in no time.

Interesting... my boxes have actually gotten heavier since the price of copper tanked (I was one of the people routinely getting 100% mixed-zinc boxes)

Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead?

Maybe they are dumping 2008's into circulation to make room for all those new 2009's they have to process...

*Runs to bank where I dumped 4 boxes to ask for them back*

I'll keep that in mind.

To get four boxes in a FLAT RATE BOX you have to use the large flat rate box.

THANKS HCBTT for reminding me that 4 will not fit in a standard flat rate box w/o taking one out of the box.

Just PM me if anyone wants to "unload" their 2008 UNOPENED boxes ( 4 at a time only please)
