Full Brinks box - unopened until this morning.
ZERO COPPER
1 Wheat - 1919 - beat up.
8 rolls of WAM/CAMs to search.
7 - 1982 - all zinc.
11 - 2009s, type 1-3, all P mints.
No foreign.
How in the world do I end up with a full box of coin that has clearly been someone else's dump who is keeping copper as well. WOW.
I'm not sure I even want to bother searching the WAMS/CAMS.
Again - not one coin before 1982 other than the wheat that someone tossed out of their collection.

I don't understand how you can have a 1919 and then say you got Zero Copper cause thats 1 copper there

Ouch...bad luck I guess. Hopefully the next one will be 40% copper and 20 wheats to make up for it. :P

afcop,
Thats pretty weird, I bought a box a week ago and there were only 12 cents above the 1982 date, no wheats and 1 complete roll of 1959's
Odd, the coins were all placed in the roll the same (all heads up)
(WEIRD)

Its weird. I decided to head to the local coin shop for some supplies and while there got a nice deal on a 1927s SLQ to upgrade over the one I currently have, so not a totally lost day.
Then hit McD's drive thru, and got 2 pennies back in change, 1960s and 1977d - so more copper from McD's than a full box today. LOL - just weird.

I know dude. It was a WEIRD box. Eventually I'll go sort thru the variations - maybe I'll get my first WAM or CAM.....that would make up for it. |
