The latest box of pennies has been searched!
New personal records have been set, for both highs and lows.
Drum roll, please --
Wheaties: 4 (my lowest box count ever) 1920 1944 1955D 1957D;
Copper (1959-1981): 786 (my highest box count ever; included 2 rolls that were 100% copper, and 4 other rolls that were all copper except for a few);
Canadian: 109 (my highest box count ever), of which 101 were copper (including a 1950 King George penny, the Canadian equivalent of a wheatie);
Other foreign: 0;
Error coins - a 1992D with a minor delamination open blister on the obverse.
The 786 additional copper pennies brings my copper penny count up to 13,094, or approximately 87.09 pounds worth. With such a low wheatie count and with 6 rolls that were all or mostly copper pennies, I have a feeling that I was searching someone else's rejects. At least they were not copper collectors!! Some of the pennies in the copper rolls were in AU or BU condition. Nice additions to my Whitman folders!
HH all,
Bob
