26 and only about 50 lbs of hand sorted copper pennies. At work less than 6 months.
1 ton? 4 tons? that is $3000 and $12000 face tied up in pennies, am I right? WoW!!!
I guess that pays for the Rydel, eh? |

CoinHunter.. I think you got the first part of the hoardcode right. Looks fine up through the pennies. I think the numbers are supposed to be # of coins rather than face value though. If you have 17,600 silver dollars at over $13 melt value each that would really be a chunk of change!
I got it wrong!
HoardCode0.1:M37/1USWI:US1Cu5471:US1Zi7340:US5Ni556:US10Ag826:US25Ag387:US50Ag292:US100Ag176
Ok that is the updated code with raw numbers of coins. I wish I had 17,600 silver dollars! Maybe someday :) |
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.

| 176 is a heck of a lot more than most folks have! Looks great now. Just put it in your signiture and change your profile as your hoard grows bigger. |
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!

I am 41 and I running about 33 Oz of silver, $100 face of US 90%, $100 face Canadian 80%. I have about $5 face in .999 Ni Canadian 5 cents, about 500 wheats, $75 face in either Canadian or US copper pennies. Maybe 5 oz AU if I melt all the jewelry and coins.
Then I also have my coin collection. All the stuff above is my chaff. I had more silver but sold some at $14 an OZ.
Oh well back to buying at $17.00.
In now for the long hawl.

| Got my AARP card (but hardly a geezer) and a zinc-hating Golden Retriever. I prefer to think of him as a 90 lb COPPER Retriever. |
Here in Wisconsin, we have some of the highest property and gasoline taxes in the US. We're squeezed so much, I have to make my daughter wear penny boxes for shoes. At least she has an endless supply. |

Yeah, I saw the same thing. Freudian slip
Gosh, I feel like the old timer here at 49. Heck, I even have an AARP card.. does that stand for American Alloy Recovery Program?
Got you beat. I'm pushing 52.
Fortunately, only 51 of those were without hoarding copper. |

| 51 and still counting. Ignoring AARP because they have no discounts for copper hoarders. |

33 with a growing sorted and about to be sorted Canadian nickels in the collection. Also have nearly a box of sorted out American nickels as a byproduct though I don't enjoy paying 5 cents Canadian for that US coin.
You all inspired me to start doing the penny thing, so last night I rounded up about 4 bucks of unsorted, mixed CDN & US pennies from around the house and stuck them in one jar. It is a start LOL. The zincs are nearly worth face, so not sure I'll bother sorting pennies (just hold them all) and focus on nickel acquisition and turnover of the 2000+ ones. |

Pennies are a pain to do anything with. they are heavy, require work. hard to package. And many more things |

| I'm 64. I've been sorting a couple of months and I'm up to 93 lbs of copper. I could have done more, but I keep spending my money on things like fixing the car. |
A penny sorted is a penny earned!
