When I saw 1968, I thought at first that was the only date of coppers you got. Strange how that could be visualized.
Very very amazing! Keep on mining that bank of it's copper, and try for silver too. |

Ember, it looks like you are getting your wish. Silver dropped again today to around $15.15/oz. A good buying opportunity! |

As of today I've looked through 4 bags. My goal is to go through 50 bags this year if I find the time and money.
(only 46 to go ) |

I am the smallest scale sorter on here. I sorted 1 penny this week.. I found it in a parking lot at the AM/PM. It was zinc of course.  |

| After looking at that one picture of your unsearched stash, HCBTT, I think it is hard to believe you're a small scale sorter. |

| That was back when I was sorting more. This week I was a small scale sorter.. but I am making up for it this weekend. |

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I have only saved one box for the dormant day of Sunday, when all the banks in my area are closed. I need to make it last or get to the grocery store before 6:30. . .
