CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12847 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 11:24 pm Yeah, felt weird to me too, walking out with boxes of metal, when in years past (before I was a collector), it was the other way around (me bringing tons of change to the bank). And you're right - 50 (100, 150, 200...) rolls of pennies aren't exactly liquid. The danger is hoarding the silly things and not getting them back to the bank before inflation depreciates the face value of your metal. Kyle Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12847 Posts	Posted 07/30/2011 12:45 am Jayman, I did find a few decent ones from '82-89, but nothing terribly special. Here are a few pics. Sorry for the poor quality -- my camera is not great for this kind of thing. But then again, the cents aren't really all that great. Here are a couple other finds that I'm pretty happy with. The 68 is a bit tarnished on the reverse but the obverse is nice. Report this Post to the Staff

gilpo New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 5:41 pm Wow, I must live in a pretty good area. A typical box for me goes something like: 1768 zinc, 700 copper, 9 wheats, 8 canadian, and 15 2009's. I keep all 2009's since they are pretty scarce here. I don't think I've ever gotten less than 25% copper (except for those 4 boxes of 2011's that Chase just stuck me with). Report this Post to the Staff
