little confused here....why did you distinguish between the 59-62 coppers and the other 307 coppers and why did you single out the 82's? am i missing something when im searching pennies?

Pre 59 are wheats and the 82's CAN be copper or they can be zinc depending on if they were early or late mints for the year.

As far as 59-62 being seperate, that could be due to mintage numbers, etc. but let HIM answer that one for ya.

LOL the one time I dont put an astrick beside them and tell why I keep them seperate lol

For the 59-62 I am setting these back to complete circ rolls of each date and mintmark

For the 82's Some are copper. Around here about 80%. I dont have time to weigh them atm so i just set them back in their own jar. Plus There is a crapload of different varieties. Maybe when I get another 30 years older ill sit around and see what I can find.

Keeping these dates back are just personal preference. Im trying to build a solid date set of circ cents 59-82. The 59-62 are just the hardest to find here. Anyway I hope that clears up the confusion.
