When I go to the bank and get Lincoln cents that look like this. I know the coins have come from jars and piggy banks. Also when you open a box of pennies and about 75% have dark chocolate toned coins looking up at you. Chances of finding a lot of copper in this box is very good.  daffy

Yes Coinlover, this has been one of the best boxes I have searched so far. I found 23 Wheaties in this box dating from 1944-1957. $11.22 was pre 1982 copper. I have never found so many copper cents in a box so far as this one. I have a bunch to search later on tonight with the scope. I'm just amazed at the number of coins still out there that is over 50 years old and looks just like they rolled off the mints production lines. I just scanned a few I had pulled out. Look at the 1955 D. These would go BU anywhere. daffy
