Almost...
One of two boxes wasn't sealed and had actually already been sorted for copper, something I certainly hadn't expected in my area.
Box 1
8 - Wheaties 1938 and various 50's
1 - 44 King George Canadian
12 - 1980 - 96 Canadian cents ~ melt $.024
30 - 1942 - 79 Canadian cents ~ melt $.03
$6.73 face value in 95% copper american cents
_______
I was pretty pumped with my new Canadian "keepers" record and after dumping at my local grocery coinstar I decided to grab a couple more rolls.
Coinstar -
1994 Chuck E Cheese token
1984 Canadian dime
1984 1$ Mexican Coin
$15 CWR Cents
1- 1996 "cud" Die Error? (looks like extra copper was allowed to flow)
6 - Wheaties a 42 and various 50's
1 - 1967 Bicentennial Canadian cent
10 - 1980 - 96 Canadian cents ~ melt $.024
8 - 1942 - 79 Canadian cents ~ melt $.03
$4.13 face value in 95% copper american cents
All told I did very well on cents, I found that in sorting out the copper containing cents it was much easier to spot the commonly error checked 1972's/69 s's and Canadian rarities. I think I may pick up a few more boxes while waiting on my halves order, copper just might be the next big play.
