Nice score! Here's a bigger version of the picture. Are those unsorted cents?

| The question I must ask is how did you get so many cents to go through? |

Thanks for the photos. Congrats on the great finds. I was just posting about not finding a single steel penny lately and you seem to have cornered the market on them. Awesome!!!
Continued success. |

Great pic and congrats on the finds. I have two questions.
How are you going to get rid of all the zincs?
Why only 1 Ryedale?  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| 1 could do it.. but if a guy can get the pennies loose in bags there is a real benefit to running multiple machines. |

198 steel is a nice haul. The Wheat's are off the charts too. All in one bag.
HCBTT, bags have their problems too. You have to run them through a coin counter first. All the nasty ones are in bags. Boxes have the clean coins since the machines that wrapped them cleared the junk out for you. |

This is hardly a true statement. I only get boxes, and I get some terrible coins in them. My last $100 order was one of the worst I have ever seen, there had to have been at least 300 within the 4 boxes that looked like they were either from a fountain or from metal detecting. |

In my experiences, bags have all kinds of junk in them. Bent , stuck together , bubble gum covered, nickels, elongated pennies, cut, mutilated , foreign , glass, paper clips, washers, buttons,and other odd things. 75 % of the "junk" I find in the bags is stuff that you would NEVER find in a roll in a box.
CWR's are 2nd worst when its comes to "junk" being in them.
Did the pennies that were in the boxes jam the Ryedale? I don't care if they look bad, I just care if they jam the Ryedale.
Snappy, where did you get so many bags? Did you stock pile for a few weeks? |

| Slick.. the plastic ones sure jammed up the Ryedale. Still a mystery to me how plastic pennies ended up in a machine rolled box. When the machine is set that loose all kinds of nasty ones could be in there. I would take the bags any day. I have plenty of high speed counters I could run them through first to remove the bent ones. |
