Also included 61 canadian pennies, including 1948, 1952, 1954, 1957 and 1959.

27% is very good.. I get 20% around here. Are those Canadians the copper ones? If the Canadians are not copper, I throw them back. It doesn't matter since a Canadian cent is worth the same as a U.S. cent anyhow.

Canadian cents were (at least) 95% copper up through 1996:
