We got 3 boxes of CWR's last week.The first 2 boxes were actually loose rolls and the third a box of re-rolled and then put back in a cent box.
The loose rolls we ended up finding 18 wheats,12 Canadians and 1200 cooper.
The box we got all copper minus 181 zinc,4 rolls had multiple zinc,4 rolls had just one zinc and the remaining rolls were solid copper.
That's 2319 copper cents out of 2500,anyone ever come across anything like this?

I have come across $10.00 of solid copper rolls at one time. Personally I think copper is slightly annoying. I only sell it so I can dump less really and I make a tiny profit. I hunt for varieties and wheats.

About a month ago I found $50 in copper pennies all from the rolls the bank makes themselves. I know that there's probably more I just haven't gone back to get them.

I was given a shoe box full of wheats. I need to figure out if they are worth keeping. Will do a separate post for help

Wheaties are very hoardable.
Yes they are!...I r3emember as a kid (Mid 80's) I would be able to pick up Indian Head pennies from teh flea Market for 5 cents a piece...Now i cant find them for any less than 1 dollar ...im sure the wheats will be more valuable in the next 20+ years!
