Finding Greater Copper Percentages

Though the numbers still seem to hover around 25% copper for sort percentages, there are some places you can look to find some higher copper percentages in your sorts. If you can aquire customer wrapped rolls, or CWR's from your local bank there is a better chance of a higher copper percentage. In these hard times, people are rolling up their coin collections and sending them to the bank. Though it is sad that it has come to this, it does present a unique advantage for those with a little extra capital to invest in copper. I actually found an entire roll of 1943 steel cents from a CWR. Also, ask around. I am sure some of you have a friend who has been keeping their pennies in some sort of jar for no real reason for the past few years. The closer you get to the bottom of this jar, the higher the percentage of copper you will find. Offer to go through the jar and replace what you take with a few extra cents, trust me, it's worth it. The bottom line is, be creative, you can really increase your sort percentages and save time while building your hoard at a much faster pace. Right now time is completely priceless commodity.
