No offense but this is a really poorly designed poll.
Probably 95% of members here have over $1,000 face value hoarded. Less than that isn't a hoard it's a couple trips to the bank :) |

How much money do you have in the bank and under the mattress ?
Whats that you say...?
None of my business...?
Well, that's how I feel about your poll, as I'm sure others do also...

Barrytrot that is simply not true.
If you take a look at some of the similar polls like "what is the face value of your hoard" more than half answered between 0 and 200 dollars.
So why don't you leave it to the poll to answer the question.
p.s.
For future reference though, this is a GREAT way to put off new members. |

| Ok, I stand corrected. I do agree this is generally a "put off" though. |

I might have a couple or three.
*Sorts pennies every day*
Can anyone who does not sort pennies every day be a serious hoarder?  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| HBCTT, I sort every day, just not as many as you. 8 boxes are sorted every other Friday. All other days, just a couple of cents in loose change. Now if you are actually acquiring boxes every day, I salute you. |
Just my two cents! |

| Perhaps a better poll would be to ask how much one wants to hoard as a goal. Of course the obvious answer is "as much as one can get his or her hands on," but I realistically would like to someday have 55 gallons, enough to fill an industrial strength garbage canister. I would love to see somebody try to steal that many loose pennies. It would take a shovel, a lot of buckets, and probably more time than a thief would want to spend on such a task. |

| I don't think anyone at all would even try to steal that many pennies, they'd go for the silver instead. They'd get caught cuz it would be too noisy and get caught |

lol at the numbers. 100000 pennies or 1000.00fv.
with those numbers the question should be 'how many to u sort a day?
I am with HCBTT...if u aren't sorting everyday you are not hoarding. and it takes a lot to keep several ryedales running at one time.
that is all I am going to say |
You don't have to be the BEST you just have to be.......SLICK

I'd like to get my hands on 10 tons , but w/o a ryedale or a high-paying job (still in high school) it doesn't seem like it is going to happen. |

It can happen, "ONE PENNY AT A TIME". You are young if you keep working at it you will be surprised at how fast you will get that first ton. |

I hope you have no where near 10 tons if you are still in high school. Unless you already have your own place, think it through. I would hate to have leave my hoard at my parents because 10 tons would not be fun to try to move. |
Just my two cents! |

I posted a similar pole about four months ago with a higher range (10k to 1 million) and I was told that I was aiming too low. Apparantly several members here count their copper in tons.

Although I don't think Barry is correct, I do believe that most here have more than 10,000 pennies. A fast handsorter can gather that much in a couple weeks.
Finally, I think these polls are helpful in matching your progress with that of others. If you feel that its too invasive then don't respond. |

From an economic standpoint, that stuff is probably a better long-term bet than copper pennies. Just look at the percent increase over the last couple years. And its much more liquid if you live in a state with shows. |

You'd wear your arm out in this forum. No Joke.
Some unnamed individuals do pickups in the 50 box range. |
