Cent Find Rates @ 25,000 Coins

Soooo ... part time cent roll searcher here ... just finished my 10th box and am writing to report my find rates.

Keep in mind that I live outside Baltimore, MD ... so the majority of my cents are Philly mint (more on that ratio later) ... good news I suppose for those in search of varieties.

Overall Find Rates:

I have pulled 6,401 copper ... a find rate of 25.60%

I have pulled 95 Wheaties ... a find rate of 0.38%

1982 Copper versus Zinc:

I weigh all my 1982 (and my 1983 as well ) ... and report the following:

665 of 758 total 1982 LMC have been copper ... a copper ratio of 87.7%.

682 of those 758 total 1982 coins have been Philly mint ... so using that date as a proxy I am finding approx 90% Philly coins and 10% combined branch mint coins here in Maryland USA.

Wheaties:

The 95 total Wheatie finds are distributed by decade as follows:

Teens - 1
1920's - 1
1930's - 8
1940's - 35
1950's - 50

Other Fun Finds:

Pulled a single impaired proof .... in this case a 1985-S

Found an 1895 IHC with old PMD ... shared a photo here:

Found four total 1998 WAM. We had some fun when I sponsored a freebie to give away three of them:

Alas ... have not heard from harrison2 ... hoping his WAM finally made it to Mexico?

Soooo ... there you are. I'm enjoying my occasional cent roll searches and extend to all best of luck in your individual roll search endeavours.
