Penny Project Article

I ran across this article and thought it was pretty neat and worth posting, they give stats on a 5000 cent search.

40% copper? Jeeze.

 

That is my coin blog.

Still today I get about 25%-40% copper I thought this was normal what percentage of pre-1982 cents are you getting?

 

I've never gotten above 25%. Usually closer to 20%.

 

Getting about 18% here after searching about 30 rolls.

 

I've pulled out just under $200 since August. I'm thinking of turning it in and buying some ASE's with it. It's just too much space for the value I think.

 

I run just over 20% with 20+ boxes.

 

I have to be clear that my 25%-40% is just pulling from change. I do not roll hunt.
