| Interesting some of the common characteristics of coin searchers. I also find myself draw to coins shops when I have hit a long dry streak. I buy walking liberty and barber halfs at melt or high quality Morgan/Peace dollars for $16 when I have been on a long dry streak. It reduces my immediately available cash, and therefore reduces my seaching a bit, but it is somehow satisfying. |

That's a lot of searching. Right there with you. Only way sometimes is volume. I filled a lot of proof holes in my albums on recent finds. I wasn't going to cut into boxed proof sets to fill albums anyway. I get more satisfaction finding them.

If I could get high quality Morgan dollars for $16 each I probably wouldn't even have enough money to sort pennies.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

It seems famine season came in early for me this year.  Box #2 was a complete skunk.. not even a NIFC. Fortunately, being a somewhat corpulant hoarder, I can survive a bit of famine. Starting a new streak.. consecutive skunk box streak now stands at 1.
Looks like fasteddy got 10 and 2 silvers on his 2 boxes. Boy, if I could get some boxes like that.. |

I agree with you there Hoard. If I could get high quality Morgans for $16.00 apiece my copper sorting days would be over, and I probably would have a hard time paying the light bill. All money would be going into Morgans. My dealer sold me a roll of higher quality pre 1900 Morgans for $19.00 apiece and I though that was a good buy. |
COPPER - the "poormans" precious metal!!!
SELLING - $100.00 face copper shipped to you for $189.00 machine rolled or bagged - PM me if your interested. |
