Penny box-good weight vs bad weight

[cdickrun64]

Based on my calculations, boxes of pennies with the following pre 1982 copper penny percentages should approx weigh as follows: (does not include weight of box or wrappers)
0% copper = 13.8 lbs
20% copper = 14.3 lbs
30% copper = 14.55 lbs
40% copper = 14.8 lbs
100% copper = 16.75 lbs

maybe I'll have my tellers start weighing boxes for me... Lol.

That must have taken ALOT of time to calculate! Very interesting as I have 5 unopened boxes at home to go through this weekend. I will weigh them and compare after I am done and post the accuracy of the chart.
