So on Wednesday I went back to one of my favorite big box branches to get some half dollars and a box of pennies. No luck with the half’s but got a box of customer rolled pennies. This was a totally boring box. Only a few coppers that could be added to the collection. Six foreign pennies, one from Denmark which was new for me. Just a handful of wheats. But the thing I like about boring boxes is that it is really easy to go through it and move on to the next box.
Stats:
410 total coppers (16.4%)
218 coppers to date sort later (8.7%)
91 coppers non bullion dates to check for errors (3.6%)
101 coppers damaged and into the bullion bag (4.0%)
434 non copper key error dates (17.4%)
5 wheat pennies
5 Canadian
1 Denmark

Another nice run though. I like the Denmark find, have not seen one of those. The most common I find behind Canadians are Bahamas.

Dude that Bahamian starfish is a cool penny. I am thinking about buying a roll and try to accelerate toning on it. I bet it would be a killer coin with purple and orange hues!
