lizzyjo Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 9:07 pm I had a semi-stressful day today at school, so I bought a box of cents and some chips and adult beverages to have some relaxing time by myself. Instead of getting the normal sealed box, the bank gave a box that you mail things in with 50 customer-wrapped rolls in it. The box has a shipping address on it, and it also has "$56.00" written on it. I'm guessing someone had $56 in change and they put it all in the box to bring it to the bank. Anyway, I thought the worst-case scenario would be if all the cents were zincolns... I've unwrapped two rolls so far and I have 87% COPPER!! Report this Post to the Staff

lizzyjo Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 11:22 pm 10 rolls down...I've only come across 2 wheaties, but I still have the same percentage of coppers. I'm pretty sure this group of cents is from someone's piggy bank. My dream is finding a '55 doubled-die and a 1909-S VDB in the same roll. Wouldn't that be a treat?! (So much for planning on spending the evening doing my chemistry homework.) Report this Post to the Staff
