<p>[QUOTE="donnyb, post: 550622, member: 6309"]I am a regular roll searcher for many years now. I focus on $500.00 half dollar boxes, Jefferson nickels thru 1967, no 64's and the Lincoln cent up thru 1981. Over the last two years I have watched the number of 95% copper Memorial cents disapearing. When I first started collecting these it was not uncommon to get 40 90% Memorial cents to the bank roll, now as I search daily I see probably less than 10 Lincoln Memorial cents per bank roll. I realize the company in Ohio had learn to process the copper cents from the run of cents, but that's not legal anymore. I am sure their are others out there who are hoarding just a few for later use, but I bet their were in excess of 3b cents minted from 59-81. Where are they going? Is the mint secretly removing them from circulation? Makes me wonder, what is your thoughts? Will these become the next harder to find wheat cents?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
