<p>[QUOTE="rush2112, post: 1809827, member: 25570"]Each box, but not all will have it's own surprises. I was buying my boxes when everyone was rolling old collections of pennies and taking them to the bank. Some boxes were badly wrapped while others, like a few boxes I got from the bank that handled all the local Casino coins, were tightly wrapped. Some boxes were all Canadian then I would get the odd box that a u.s. cottager cashed in that were mostly u.s. cents. One box was loaded with 1960's and 1970's u.s. pennies with several that had turned almost purple. As for sorting out the copper from the zinc cents, it was a waste of time as I ended up dumping them into a coinstar machine because no one was willing to pay face value for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
