Yesterday's results were mixed.. kind of like the stock market. Things started off good with my second preorder of the week coming through for 12 boxes.. so I was now 2 for 2 on this week's orders. But then the bank manager cornered me. I think they are onto me. They figured out they aren't making any money off me. Be careful how you answer questions from your bank managers. You guys know how those greedy bankers are.. it's all about making money.
She asked me "So, you aren't using our bank as your primary checking account?"
Me "No, you don't have a branch in my town yet."
Her "You know it doesn't matter where your account is, you can just use your debit card"
(Remember, your bank gets a percentage from the merchant whenever you use your card)
Me "I only use my PayPal debit card.. I get 1% cash back on every transaction"
(What was I thinking dashing her hopes of high profits like this?)
Her "Will you be needing to order more coins in the future?"
Me "Sure"
Her "We can only order coin for you once per quarter"
Me "I would like to put my order in for November then"
Her "We can't remember that, you will just have to wait and do it then"
I almost took out my $10 and closed my account. But I thought.. hey, I hardly order from this bank anymore so it is not a huge loss to my coin acquisition plan, but they might just open that branch in my home town in about a year and that manager might be nicer to me.
Question.. Should I double or triple my order in November? <G>
Went through the 12 boxes I got there last night and 8 of them were 2007.
Got a call from the coin lady at the bank for Friday's pickup.
"They screwed up on your coin order this week" "They got confused about the denomination being $25 instead of $50, so they delivered 48 boxes instead of 24."
Me "No problem, I'll take them.. but I will have to do it in 2 trips, I don't want to break an axle on my Camry" (Now I had to scramble to scare up an extra $600)
Went in and picked up the first 24 boxes first thing this morning and told her I would be right back to pick up the other 24 to clear out her vault right after I drop those off.
Her "I love you"
Me "I love you too"
A much more positive experience at this bank. Put in my order for next Friday. Told her I only need a single order next week, not a double order. <G>
Took a peek at 2 of the boxes and they were both brand new shiny 2007 boxes. God, I hope they aren't all shiny like that or I will only have the 15 boxes left over from Wednesday's shipment and the 24 I am picking up tomorrow plus whatever I can pick up on drive bys today and tomorrow to last me through the holiday weekend.

I did my weekly zinc return today so I can calculate last weeks numbers.
8 boxes sorted
13,901 zinc returned
6,099 coppers kept
30.5%
All the boxes were pretty much the same. I consider them average to slightly above average for around here. Wheat numbers were about average too coiming in at around 8 per box. Only thing not average was the Indian that I mentioned in an earlier post.
Also I was all exited this weekend because I was suppose to pick up and sort some halves for the first time. I've heard people averaging 3 silver halves per box. First bank said they tried, but couldn't get them. Second bank was able to get my 2 box order.
I sorted them all this morning. And the big result is that they were a waste of time...I should have spent the time sorting pennies. The only thing that I kept out of 2,000 coins was a 1976 S worth that might sell for $1 or $2 on E-Bay. I got one more order to pick up next week and if no better that will be it for my half dollar sorting experiment.

"1 Darn Dime"
You find way more dimes than me in your bank wrapped rolls. It must be that the coin sorter in my area works better than yours. Only luck I had this week was on my return. On this weeks return, the machine counted 2 of my pennies as nickels (go figure) and 1 as a dime. |

Maybe I just sort a lot more boxes..  Of course with the percentages I am getting I have to sort more. Most of the dimes come out of the plastic Brinks wraps rolls I get from my dump bank. I know I am not getting my own coins back from my dump bank cause I never put any dimes in there. I think I find lots of dimes because I have really good sorting and counting equipment.
I get the bonuses on the front end and you get them on the back end. I have no chance of ever getting a bonus on the back end since I bag my own coin. The advantage is I never have to wait for the bank's machine.
Well, it's off to the bank for me to dump a bunch more bags of coin and pick up today's shipment of 24 boxes.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more.

Inspired by c140cessna I decided to ramp it up a notch this week. Picked up my 4th shipment (24 Boxes.. no shiny ones) of the week so I went 4 for 4 on preordered shipments.. technically I went 5 for 4 since they doubled my shipment yeasterday. Boy, that was a lot of work hauling all those pennies.. next time I am going to call Penny Express and have them delivered. I probably shouldn't have taken in a 4th dump load for the week when I went to pick up today's shipment. Got cornered by another bank manager. Kind of hard to sneak past those bank managers when they hang out in the lobby and you are trundling in a cart with 400 pounds of coins on it.. LOL. I am just not having good luck with bank managers this week. This encounter was much more critical than Thursday's little deal.. since this is my dump bank. After I dropped off my load and picked up my 24 boxes the coin lady told me the bank manager wanted to talk with me. Darn! I hate when bank managers want to talk.. it is hardly ever anything good. I hoped it was that they wanted to give me a really low interest loan.. Nope.. Alas, that was not what he wanted to talk about. I asked if I was buying too much coin. He said "No, we will order you as much coin as you want" He probably shouldn't have told me that.. <EG> He said.. Yep, you guys guessed it.. "It's about the amount of coin you are bringing in" "You are getting for free what we charge our merchant customers for.. we have them on analysis" We agreed to talk later about how maybe I can help their bottom line by providing a rolling service or something at a discounted rate so they never have to ship anything out. Maybe I will end up getting all their customer deposited coin. So I guess I might have to come up with a better dumping strategy. Darn, that one stop shopping was just sooooo convenient. I know lots of you guys advocate spreading your dumps around so as to stay under the radar. Good advice.. Learn from the mistakes of others, nobody lives long enough to make them all himself. It is more of a challenge to dispose of your zinc when you get a little ambitious with your sorting. At the $1000 level per week I have to dispose of $800 in zinc. If I do $2500 a week, that means I have to unload $2000 in zinc to free up my operating capital. This week was a little tough.. with the purchase of 114 boxes of pennies (a new weekly record for me), a box of dollars and a box of nickels.. it kind of put the stretch on the available play money. I am still going to have a big pile of zinc at the end of the holiday weekend that I would like to convert back into folding money, but I am almost afraid to show up at my dump bank right away and have the manager start using the "F" word. What's a poor guy with too many zinc pennies to do? I guess nothing really good lasts forever.. kind of like the way nickels used to be in Canada.

I'm not a mega sorter like a lot of you, but I will tell you some of my experiences.
Over the last few months I have been working on Canadian nickels. I am hoarding in the Toronto area.
Warning--sample size is probably insufficient to draw many conclusions.
I have found generally poor returns from my home bank in Mississauga. It is in a relatively recently built-up area. Ten rolls yielded only 65 pre-1982 nickels, and over 120 steel nickels (rest cupronickel). This is the only purchase of this size or larger I have ever had where the steel nickels outnumbered the pre-1982s by such a margin. One problem is that there is a large commercial alloy-recovery operation in the neighbourhood (now enjoying a respite) which may have used this bank as a dumping ground for its sorted rolls (I know they did their other banking there). However, although the results were poor, there was at least one real nickel in each roll.
I expected better results in Streetsville (an older part of Mississauga), with a lot of people who have been living in the same houses for over 20 years. In other neighbourhoods, such a population breakdown has led to some very high percentages. But the area has really undergone a lot of development over the last decade, and the results here were below average, but better than in the bank above, coming in at just under 20%.
My best results have been in the Leaside area (in Toronto), which is an old middle-class neighbourhood. There has been very little new development in the area around these banks, and many of the homes have been in the same families for decades. The results here have been fantastic. In now close to 200 rolls, I have had many rolls with no steel nickels at all (except for Korean War era nickels) and have even got some of the old design (mid-1920s). I have had four rolls with over 30 pre-1982 nickels, with a high of 36. At one bank I got a pile of rolls where the paper was so old it crumbled at a touch.
This seems to be the ideal type of neighbourhood to focus on. People have been in place for a long time, and although they are house-wealthy now, forty years ago this was a lower-class neighbourhood--just the sort where people were poor enough to keep their change in jars. My thinking is that as some of the elders die off, their heirs find all these bottles of change (or even rolls of coins) and they just turn them in to the bank. A neighbourhood like Rosedale, which is probably even older than Leaside, but much wealthier, may not be as good, as the people there were wealthy enough to simply spend their change.
Recently I went to a bank in a poor neighbourhood in Mississauga, and also had good returns - about 25%. But I had to wait in line a long time.
Not all who wander are lost. |

Went to the bank today for my bags and again there was only 1 waiting for me kind of sad but I did find out why a couple months ago they went over their contract so they limited me to ordering 1 bag ($50) a week plus I get all their full bags. Better then being cut off. I think I may have pulled to many copper pennies out of circulation as my % are dropping faster then bushes aproval rating.
this weeks bag
1606 copper
71 canada (I only list copper Canadian)
1 king
11 wheat.
32%

Damn, I better get busy.. he's closin' hard!!!
With the low yeld %'s, the zinc disposal problems, and the massive amounts of 2007 boxes in my shipments, it's pretty rough going out here. Wish I could get percentages like Snappy's bags, or even some loose bags. I gotta get out and join some Credit Unions.

Been busy at work all week, but still managed to sneak in a little sorting last night.
Sorting report for yesterday:
6 boxes bank wrapped pennies

-A few more than I had before.

Yesterday was roll sorting only.. no real sorting. Had a pretty good day at coin buying.
I was a little concerned about the first stop of the day to pick up my preorder of 24 Boxes. Last Friday I picked up 48 boxes from this bank and it seems they were all 2007 zincers. Talk about the skunk of the week.. might be the all time worst skunk on this board. I have only opened 7 of those 48 boxes so far but all have been solid 2007 boxes. So I was sweating this pickup.. figuring I would get more of the same. Had a little better luck this week. There were regular circ rolls mixed in with the new rolls.. seems I must have run them out of the solid new boxes last week. The new mix looked like a 60/40 mix heavy on the zinc, but at least I got some coins to sort. I remembered c140cessna's tip here about swapping boxes so I did some quick roll sorting in the trunk of the car to create some solid boxes of shiny ones to trade so I could come home with a higher percentage of unsorted boxes at the end of the day. Went to my Wells Fargo bank next door and they were happy to swap me 2 boxes of pennies for those nasty, shiny 2007 pennies.
Later in the day I stopped by Washington Mutual in Richmond and was able to buy 45 rolls of customer wrapped nickels and 17 rolls of cuatomer wrapped pennies. Then it was off to Bank of America next door to that one to try to swap off some more zinc. Took in 4 boxes and loaded them in the little plastic bullet proof box so the teller could get them. She says, do you just want cash for these? I say yes, I would like to swap them for 4 boxes of your pennies. She says she doesn't think she can do that and runs off to find the boss. So here she comes back with the bank manager. Those of you that read my posts regularly know I haven't been having good luck with bank managers lately. The manager looks at the 4 boxes of pennies and says "What's wrong with them?" I reply "They're shiny" She says "We can't use these, you opened the boxes" I say "You can see that all 50 bank wrapped rolls are in each box" She says "We can't use them because they have been opened and it would be a violation of our audit procedures, we have to ship all coins from customers back to the central vault." So I say "Fine, just deposit them in my account and ship them to the central vault" So they won't swap pennies with me because it would run them out of pennies and my shiny ones are no good.. LOL. I talk them into selling me a box of customer wrapped pennies and a box of bank wrapped nickels. Now it's off to the final bank of the day at Wells Fargo in Pinole where I get to drop off a big deposit for the company and then try to swap a couple of more boxes of pennies. They won't give me any more pennies but they will take me 2 boxes of pennies and let me parlay them into a fresh box of nickels by throwing in another $50 in cash. Darn, should have brought in 4 boxes of pennies. Overall it was a pretty good day of coin buying.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more.

It's a shame about Zincs not counting, cause I picked up a bunch more in yesterday's shipment that aren't even included in my hoard. Those just go into the zinc pile for return without much sorting effort. Now I just gotta figure out how to unload all this zinc without really upset me to the point of seeing yellowing off another bank manager.. LOL. I kinda figured c140cessna couldn't keep up this pace. I gotta hope he runs out of funds before I do. Of course I still have 60 boxes of zinc that I am not overly attached to if I decide to convert those in the future.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more.

HCBTT,
Can't you just go to enough banks that will trade your brand new zincs for good 'ol customer wrap or other bank boxes that are not new? I've trained a lot of banks in my town and I can trade any time with them. I'm currently concentrating of Credit Union loose....not doing much trading these days.
Having a second Ryedale machine is a real time saver when you get north of $500 in a week....and I'm doing the "Zinc Resort" to find the "Wheat Diamonds" that are not selected as Copper on the first pass. That increase the sort load by a factor of 1.7X .....but it is worth it....have found a lot of nice wheats that wold have just been returned to the bank with the zincs....most are from the 20's and 30's...with a few of the teens here and there.
I'm trying to get ahead of the game a bit in my copper hoard...Deer Season is getting close and I'll be in the woods...and not sorting....

I have been able to trade a few, but many banks won't trade. They say they can't take mine because the box has been opened and it violates their audit procedure or something if they don't give out boxes with the seal from their coin supplier.
Got semi-skunked on Friday's load. Of the 24 boxes I picked up at the one bank, after I resorted the rolls it came out to 15 boxes of 2007 and 9 boxes of circ. Was able to swap a few of them before getting home.
I need to get some of that loose stuff from the credit unions.
Sorting Report for today:
12 Boxes pennies
6740 Copper
22.47%
-A few more than I had before.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more.
