Picked up a brick of nickels today.
So far, I haven't sorted any of my nickels. I'm keeping them all sealed for now.

After hitting an older accumulation of nickels at the bank that time forgot, I went after dimes and quarters
4 rolls Canadian dimes - 3 in the same wrappers as Friday's nickels - 123 Ni, (61.5%), almost all of which came from the three older rolls
1 silver (1967 - not sure if its high or low silver) - also from the older set
I also recognized many similar tool marks on the older dimes - whoever previously owned them liked to torture coins. Some of the nickels last week had been actually deformed. Oh the humanity.
2 rolls Canadian quarters - neither from the old collection (why won't they let me into the vault to pick my own?)
32 Ni (40%) - highest percentage (by far) in a year. Must have been a couple of rolls missed by the Mint.
Also 10 rolls of nickels - 92 Ni (23%)

Sorted $225 in Brinks boxes. $57.21 in Copper and 107 wheats with 2 being 1918 which was the oldest. I have about $265 in zincs to dump now so I can get more boxes.
Why are you guys weighing the Brinks boxes? |

Speed. Saves wear & tear on machines & eyeballs.
2500 pennies in a box times 2.5 grams per zinc penny divided by 453.593 grams in a pound = 13.77 pounds for a completely zinc box - plus a little for the box.
2500 pennies times 3.11 grams per copper penny divided by 453.593 = 17.14 pounds for a completely copper box.
15 pounds is a common weight for the average circulating mix now. |

Ah, every Brinks box I've gotten here has been a steady mix from 25-40% copper.
I went in a National City branch Monday and they had about 30 kennedy halves sitting in the tray. The teller let me look at them and I got 3 40% halves for .50 each.  |

Only started weighing the Brinks boxes after I got my first dud. It has saved a lot of time since then. I don't even have to break the seal. If the box weighs between 6385 and 6400 grams it is a solid zinc dud. I just walk it over and put it in the zinc return stack. Dropped off 10 of those at a few of my banks today. The advantage of doing box weights is it allows for quick returns to free up your capital to buy more pennies with.

Hoard -
You need to change your name to Gigaton or something.
Maybe not - sounds too much like Gigolo.
What's the Japan Olympics set...1964? |

El Dee.. hey, maybe that way I could fund more penny purchases.. LOL
Yes, the Japan Olympics set was 1964 in Tokyo. The coins are common.. I already have a couple of sets.. it is the original issue case that is tough to find. I wish I had never sold off my Russian 1980 Moscow 150 ruble and 100 ruble sets.
The silver tiger tongues from Siam were used between 1591 and 1705.
Denominations are 2 tamlung - 120 grams
and 1.5 tamlung - about 92.4 grams
Really cool looking pieces of money - I haven't been able to buy any at a show in several years. |

Hand sorted about $1,200 worth of Halfs (I was off recovering from some dental work, so I needed something to do):
19 40% halfs
2 90% Kennedy's
1 2006 S proof (it is a little scratched up, but it still looks cool!)
1 Quarter (?)
I had about 10 rolls to do when I got home after picking up our little guy, and he had a good time unwrapping the rolls, looking at the edges to see if they were silver or "coppery", and then finding shiny ones for his half-dollar collection.

10 rolls Canadian nickels
Skunked again! Another ten rolls of shrink-wrapped 2008s! And this was from one of my best banks. They tell me they are swamped with them. I may have to wait a few weeks for them to clear. |

Just bought $10 from a new bank, the teller said that it was an unusual day because several people had been buying more pennies than usual. I hope it's not related to the article that came out today about metal prices driving the price of coins up!
Anyway I sorted these by eye and got about 17% copper. So it's still out there...for now.
But how much longer before it's all gone? |
