Last pennies bag

[kb4iqm]

I just finished running the last of last weeks 3 $50 bags of pennies through the sorter. Yield was lower than the other two. Scored 1165 coppers, 21 wheats, 11 canadians, and a highly abused dime that's been squashed to make it thinner and about the diameter of a penny. I noticed a 1916 wheat in the little pile of wheats.

Nearly 24% coppers, still better than the average I get from the coin service boxes here. I have $100 in penny boxes that I had set aside a few months ago, maybe I'll run them while I'm waiting to pick up more bags this week.

Ran one of the boxes of pennies. Now I remember why I left them unopened and transitioned over to the $50 bags of pennies

The $25 in MWR pennies yielded only 252 coppers, 2 wheats, and 1 un centisimo de balboa from republica de panama. About 10% coppers, the low side of the typical 10-15% these boxes were producing

Not too bad! I am averaging a little more than 17 wheats per box of $25 in pennies... HH
