<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2971275, member: 59737"]Okay, an update on this thread. I've gone through the smallest box, breakdown:</p><p>appx 5,500 cents in total for 15kg or 33lbs. I placed all 1982 cents into the Pre-1982 cents because it makes my estimation more conservative in terms of ratio of pre and post 1982. Pre-1982 Cents: 1,230 or 22.4%. Post 1982-Cents: 4,270 or 77.6%. Price paid per kg: $3.42 cents, or $51.30 for this box. Price realized from dumping at the bank: $52.05. 75 Cents profit! Haha, I need to look through the about 20 cents I pulled aside, but I did find:</p><p><br /></p><p>oldest cent: 1958 wheat cent (first and only one found so far)</p><p>newest cent: 2017-P (with the P on the cent, so weird!)</p><p>1x 2000 WAM</p><p>1x 1995 DDO</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in temporary summary. I've managed to not lose any money, despite the 5% dump fee. It takes a long time to go through a box and there are only a couple keepers. But, it's not costing me anything extra, gives me a little fun on the side, and lets me still be active in coin collecting, despite not being in the US. Hopefully I'll have more success with the coming boxes.
