Steel Cents in MWR

[RedAmos]

Do you guys ever find the steel cents in machine wrapped rolls?

I've hunted about 20 boxes of MWR and haven't found one yet. Do the big sorting machines reject the steel cents?

Given the number minted I'm surprised that I haven't run across one.

Most are picked up. I found 3 in one box, ONCE, those are the only ones I've found in the wild. Most are caught by the magnets, because I've gone through dozens of boxes and that's it.

I've found one in a mwr. Indian head cents are more common.

I have found one in about 200 boxes, but last night I got two in a CWR! That was very cool!

Ive also only found ONE in about $500-$800 worth.

They are a hard find, maybe because they are so easy to notice that a lot of them have been pulled already besides the magnets getting them. I think I have found 5 or 6 and 3 were at one time. I got one in a dime roll one time that I think was a MWR. Keep looking and you will come across one sooner or later. HH

I've searched a little under $2,100 in cents and have never found one. My guess is what most people say, magnets or people catch them.

People thought they were dimes when they came out, it was one reason why they were a 1 year issue.
