<p>[QUOTE=&quot;White Ger. Shep. Lover, post: 3868333, member: 108450&quot;]I agree with many of the above posts.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been hoarding (mostly)copper pennies for nearly 20 years.&nbsp; I do it for the pure love of copper pennies.&nbsp; At the risk of coming across bumptious, I do not hoard them for any future financial gain, as I already have enough &quot;coin&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Gold and silver coins do absolutely nothing for me.......but I melt at the sight of a bright glistening copper penny.&nbsp;&nbsp; My bank gives me $300 (twelve&nbsp; $25 boxes) in pennies every Monday .&nbsp;&nbsp; Having maintained&nbsp; a business account with them for many years,&nbsp; I meet no resistance with this weekly request.&nbsp;&nbsp; January is the only month where I do not search through my pennies while watching tv at night, as I put 50 unopened boxes in storage every year..... since 2001.&nbsp; All of my pennies are kept in a locked room in my basement.&nbsp; I have no idea as to how much money in pennies(face value) I have, other than it is in excess of 100K.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I could carry on in great length here in regards to my hobby (addiction), but will spare you the details......other than the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>- I find approximately 20% in copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Approximately 16 wheats per $25 box.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Approximately 1 IH per 60 boxes, but had one box with 458 of them a few years ago.&nbsp; No MS or rare dates unfortunately.</p><p><br /></p><p>-&nbsp; I can pretty much tell what I&#039;m going to get ( heavy copper or many wheats etc.) after inspecting only the first 2 rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>-It takes me approximately 2 hours to polish off a box, while also following tv programs .</p><p><br /></p><p>- Error coins are not my bag, so I most likely have let a few nice ones slip through my fingertips over the years.&nbsp; I separate and keep my circulated copper pennies in one box, bu &#039;59 - &#039;82 pennies in another, &#039;83 - &#039;89 bu in another, unc nicely toned in another, Canadian in another and oddities in another box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
