canadacoinguy Valued Member Canada 146 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 9:57 pm Wow. that's an impressive amount of copper in a $10 box. Out of curiousity, were they paper or plastic rolls DrDon? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

canadacoinguy Valued Member Canada 146 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 10:34 pm Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing with the paper rolled ones that I got. They even had letters on them in permanent marker which made me think that it was a fellow picker marking the searched coins so he would know that he wasn't getting the same coins the next time that he came in. If so, he left alot behind in his rolls. Edited by canadacoinguy 01/12/2012 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mrlexmark Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 12:54 am I just started collection coins and one place I've had a lot of luck is the Brinks Sealed Boxes. I have gone through about 10 Sealed boxes of Brinks Pennies and have found roughly 3 rolls of Wheat cents. I have also gone through about 10 boxes of Brinks Nickels and have found a Liberty Head Nickel, 3 Buffalo nickel, and I have a almost complete book of Jefferson nickels. I just started doing dimes have gone through 2 boxes and have found 2 silver dimes so far. The first box I got nothing the second one was better :) Report this Post to the Staff
canadacoinguy Valued Member Canada 146 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 04:14 am Welcome to the coin community. Wow, it sounds like you've been pretty lucky so far. What dates are you searching for when going through the boxes of pennies? Do you save all of the DD dates, wheaties and then go through them or just go through everything all at once? Thanks for your response to this post. Edited by canadacoinguy 02/28/2012 04:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 11:19 am Here in Central KY I have had no trouble finding copper in Brinks boxes. On average about 15-20% copper yield. There is somebody in a town about 50 miles south of here that sells copper cent lots on ebay by the hundreds of thousands of pieces. And there was a criminal investigation in a town not far from here a few months back (drug related) where police found in the guy's closet close to 10k in copper cents. So there are definitely people around here culling copper. But I still find some! Report this Post to the Staff
phazon Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 03/09/2012 12:10 am Man I get tons of them out of 150& Ill get about $40.00 in coppers but here is a suggestion there may be someone using that bank as a dump bank. I have one of those here and I never go and get coins from there cause even just me going into a bank going threw maybe 50/100 a month sure would be a lot of those non copper coins back out there.

A lot further off than that. Those were production figures for 2009. The 2009 cent production was only 2.34 billion. So 16.5 billion would still be close to 8 times too much. (1.6 trillion is probably about right for the cent from 1909 to 2009, but the other figures are clearly just those of 2009. Report this Post to the Staff
