I haven't figured out how to quote reply, but I found the 2025 Cent breakdown by n9jig interesting. I handle very few coins in current circulation and hadn't realized the population of Cu Cents is now so low. 14% out of 172 coins.
Mem 80-82 Copper: 5
Mem 70's Copper: 12
Mem 60's Copper: 5
Wheat Copper: 2 (57-D, 56-D)
When I leave this life, someone is probably going to have to lug off more than 100 pounds of the things. The vast majority are circulated, sorted by year and mint, and rolled. I haven't knowingly spent a copper cent since 1982, heh! I know, that's a hoard, not a collection (circulated roll collection?)
Happy New Year 2026 folks!
