<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman_Ben, post: 642540, member: 9923&quot;]wow, have you really gotten a box that was 85 to 95 percent copper?&nbsp; That&#039;s alot of copper when you consider that only 25% of the pennies in circulation are copper (based on an estimation I did where I picked out random rolls of pennies and separated the copper from the zincs and found that 25% of those randomly picked rolls of pennies were copper and 75% were zinc).&nbsp; I can&#039;t remember how many rolls of pennies I picked out for that experiment, but I know that for every roll of copper pennies there were about 3 rolls of zincs.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking I should do that experiment again the next time I get a box of pennies (or maybe I should get two boxes of pennies for the experiment, that way I can take use 10 rolls from each box so it&#039;ll be a truly random mix).&nbsp; But than again, I&#039;m more interested in finding silver dimes (which I found one after searching through $250 worth of dimes within the past couple weeks, which is why I haven&#039;t been here in a while, it&#039;s because I&#039;ve been so busy roll searching).&nbsp; I&#039;ll post pictures of my 1963 dime later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
