Finding Wheat Penny Hoards

Bought this $25 box of pennies and which had close to twenty dollars worth of wheat cents in it. Only 2 cents of this box was the zinc clad. I have had the best luck with finding copper hoards in the hand rolled pennies.

Cool video. I thought I was lucky when I recently got 19 rolls of 1966 pennies (the twentieth roll was the usual 12 coppers out of 50). Good times!

@thecoinman112 More like around 80% of pre-1982 pennies are copper. Therefore, I don't have much of a problem hoarding every 1982 penny found and assuming it's copper. It is not very cost efficient for me to compare the 1982 ones, having sorted the coins by hand.
