Ryedale is here!!!

So sweet and FAST. It will make short work of my stockpiled coin.

I want to sort out to "accept" only the plated steel nickels and pennies for return to bank. I want to "reject" all the nickel, CuNi, copper and zinc and (we can hope) silver war nickels for my hoard (to be seperated later).

A test with a shiny plated penny gave mixed unreliable results. I'm assuming I need to adjust the sensitivity screw... Anyone else sorted using plated steel as the standard?

Oh and early tests from a big bucket of mixed pennies from various boxes showed pretty much a 50% Cu/50% "Other" mix here in BC. With a 1979 US Cu penny as the referance all Cdn and US Cu is going in the Cu pile together quite nicely.

Followup... this works just slick after some adjustments. Sort out the steel amd get it back into circulation. Worry about sorting the CuNi and Ni coins you are going to keep later, which the Ryedale does a fantastic job on as well.

The only steel I've sorted with the Ryedale are the rare steel wheats and the occasional foreign steel coin like those newer Canadian pennies.

Sounds like it's working for you though.

Isn't the Ryedale great?!

Glad to hear it's working well for you. I wish I had more Canadian nickels to sort. I think I may have a few hundred I can run through it this weekend. I just have no place to dump any steel I get, and I refuse to mix it in with my regular nickel rolls. To sort our the steel did you just do a steel accept and adjust the sensitivity to the sweet spot?

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

your supposed to hoard the steel and throw back the rest. Or send them to me...

I've been playing with my coins through the Ryedale. I've managed to seperate, with the appropriate referance coin, successfully from any raw or presorted mix:

1. Cdn Steel Nickels (to dump)
2. CuNi Nickels (US/Cdn mix) (to keep)
3. Cdn Ni Nickels (to keep)
4. All Cdn Nickel Plated Steel+Pure Nickel from all US/Cdn CuNi (not too useful a sort - did this while trying to get just Ni)

5. US Zinc Pennies (sending Canadian zinc to reject!) (to dump in the USA)
6. Cu Mix Cdn/US (to keep)
7. UK Pennies (jams the machine every time a UK penny shows up)

I'm particularly pleased/surprised to see I can sort Canadian from US Zinc as I thought those coins were pretty similar.

I have not tried yet, but am sure it can be done:

1. Cdn 98% Cu from US 95% Cu pennies
2. Cdn CuNi from US CuNi (been handsorting these out for now)
