Picked up an interesting box of cents the other day.
At first look it was apparently an older box- been on the shelf a while.
Youngest coin in the box was 1991- none newer.
Got to sorting and ended with at least 80-85% copper pre 83's.
(Big pile is copper, little pile is 82's, and those in the tray are zinc 83'+.)
Then sorted out the 82's for copper / zinc varieties and found that of the whole pile- only 8 were zinc (btw the one on the scale was a more recent zinc-just to check the scale- did'nt think about it until after I took the pic...)
