60% copper cent box

[atom12]

My son and I probably have gone through 30 brinks and loomis boxes and get a consistent 30% copper out of each box. Today I got a loomis box and when we sorted it tons of cents were pouring into the copper bucket. I thought the comparator was broke, but it wasn't. I'm not sure what's going in but we got a 60% copper box.

I got 12 boxes last month that were 90-100% copper, all Brinks. I think they are leftovers from the $5 million North Carolina contract that was canceled.

I once got a brinks box of cents and had about enough zincolns to fill a roll, the rest was all copper. Then on the flip side I have had a few with only 1 or 2 coppers. My best roll was a CWR that had 3 steel pennies. Found 5 in the batch I had. Good luck out there!

Had a great box like that once.... about 85% copper.... Never a solid copper roll.... had several "49's" though. Thought some crazy dude was collecting Zincolns and re-rolling the copper... lol

We found about 10 wheats. I'd say that's under half of what we usually find per box.

What's the $5 million contract? How's that work out to more copper? That would be nuts to hit a 90+% box

What is done with the copper pennies? I am new to the penny trade.
