JobIII Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 09:24 am VGRX, It depends greatly on where you are located. Like CWS has said, people from the east coast have been reporting large amounts of non-copper boxes. These are almost only brinks boxes. So if you're not getting brinks boxes or from a different part of the US you are probably okay for now. Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 06/30/2012 11:07 am I've found using Craigslist to barter off buffs and such brings in a decent amount of wheats. People may have just a handful, but I tire of pulling 8-10/box. But, strictly copper, I get a solid 25% in Idaho. My g-son's Can. '20-'88 is nearly complete with the '21 coming last week.

hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 07/07/2012 8:28 pm Just for fun I got 10 Brinks wrapped rolls and 10 customer wrapped rolls of cents. Again,not a single copper in the Brinks rolls but a solid 22% copper in the CWR's. I am not going back to banks that have Brinks wrapped rolls. It may be my location,but,the frequency of getting copper skunked is more than just coincidence. I will scour the area for CWR's and hope for the best. As a side note,I have not found a Wheat cent in over 3 weeks. They have gotten very scarce around here. Report this Post to the Staff
