So I ordered some. Meanwhile I was racing the clock to get to ANY OTHER BANK to get some coins. I stopped in at one near my house with only 5 minutes to spareI purchased a box and they were hand rolled. about half . well all the handwrapped ones were dated on the roll. 1972, 1980, 1961, 1976, 1970, 1983 1984. there were 24 rolls total that were marked, I wasnt looking forward to this boring dig, well the 76, and 61 were all old looling, but the copper was ok, I guess. I opened up the first of 4 1970 rolls and they were all cleaned, a nasty light pinkish dull color they are, I have to wait til Monday to get to the bank for more rolls. WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THE UGLY CLEAN COPPERS?,

Thats what I figure too, but like the corroded coppers I give them back cause they are contageous. that pink doesn't hold some chemical that could spread to my other coppers. I have them in quaranteen I guess I will just keep them there. How come you can get copper pots and make them shine as if they were new? but pennies not so much...
