Quote:Also, some one down south contracted coinstar for 5 million face LMC's over a two year period. Where is this info coming from? Other coin forums or urban legend? My guess is that even if it is true, the "someone" or Coinstar wouldn't be talking about it. |

I had the exact opposite thing happen to me in my last two boxes. I was shocked to see between 70% and 80% copper cents in all of the rolls. A couple of the rolls even got up near 90% copper. Luck of the draw I guess! Sure don't see this very often!

I'll see if I can find anything else on the 5 million face copper, I tried..
Kyle Bass ordered 1 million in nickels straight from the mint last year.

It's all over realcent, and that's where the ABC story came from , a well respected member over there . The "coinstar " contract story came directly from the moderator there too

I don't know "realcent" and a quick look there reveals nothing.  |

There's other threads here where I linked it
Realcent Is basicly a BULLION/penny hoarder forum, must of its members have 1 or 2 ryedales. They support Mr. Ryedale who is a member there .It's The $500 sort machine . Therefore most are biased, unfortunatley ignorant and its like a "special club" .However there is lots of information there and not all of the members are cocky arseholes.

Just trying to find actual, factual information not based on hearsay, like from a newspaper article or coin related publication.

chuckster,I've been pulling coppers and selling them on ebay for a little over a year...so, yes, some of us are pullling or hoarding the coppers. I did get one $50 bag that had no coppers, but that was out of 90 bags total I searched last year. |

Big bunches of paranoid hearsay. I'm not seeing it, believing it or buying into it. Still lots of copper here in Ohio and lots of other locations across the U.S. (see the Lincoln cents roll searching thread). Seems the numismatic publications or other news media would be all over this if it was true.

To date I think there has been 1 news report on the portlandmint and that was the same video that involved the realcenter. Most people don't even know about Canadas Alloy Recovery Program(which only brings in cough cough 8 million a year cough cough ) , the news is flooded with the crap they want you to focus on , like what celebs are doing. But you are right there will still be lots of copper out there, as the order is rather small if you think about it. Also take into account that people are dumping their zinc loads to coinstar https://goccf.com/t/107443&whichpag...hTerms=centsEdited by Coppertop
