Cool Lincoln Roll Finds (From Bank Rolls) - Post Yours!

Last night I started on the cent boxes we brought home from the bank. I have never received any "Brinks" boxes before. All rolls I have ever searched have been customer rolls. So I opened up 1 box and see they are all shrink wrapped. I took out the first layer (10 rolls), opened them and put them in the container to begin. Out of the 10 rolls (500 coins) we have the following.

32 Canadian cents - 1972 to 1993
2 Roosie dimes - 80p, 93p
186 Lincolns 1982 and older
2 wheat cents
The rest is very well circulated newer ones. This is absolutely not what I expected. In the thousands of rolls I've searched I've never had A.this high a percentage of Copper's and B. This is more Canadian cents than I have ever found total. And that was just on the first 10 rolls. I'm also in Florida so we just don't find many Canadian cents down here. This "copper" find percentage is way higher than any I have found in the past. Anyone ever notice anything with Brinks boxes versus "customer" rolls? We're starting on the rest of the boxes today, I guess after the start, no idea what we'll be finding next. I just thought that Brinks would pull out Canadian but obviously not.

Grancap, those 82's probably arent all copper. 1982 was the transition year. Copper cents will weigh 3.11g, zincs 2.5g

Jedi, I know on the 82's, I just keep all of them until I search and inspect closer later on. I just put each decade in a container, then separate out dates, MM. Then split out what goes back and what we keep. We weigh the 82's after.
Roller, I know there are a lot of Canadians here, we see them on the Interstates I just have never found this high a percentage before.
PS, On the next 4 rolls I already have 9 more Canadians.

Grancap, Do you get a high canadian count on your nickel searching too?

My wife is going through the nickels (but probably will be stopping once her shows start,LOL). She says she can be more "productive" at the mall, that statement always scares me to death.
The nickel rolls are not from "Brinks", customer rolls. She has found 1 Canadian, 42 rolls searched thus far. So the Canadians seem to only apply to the Brinks cent rolls, at least so far.
