Thogey, Thanks for the tip. I made mine from stiff cardboard and a tip from a felt tip pen. Accurate, fast, and cheap. I put it on the edge of the table and drop the coppers into my stash and flick the zinc into a bucket. I just started collecting copper pennies and silver coins. Hyperinflation NE1?
I just bounce them flat side down against the wooden table like you're playing a game of quarters. The coppers make a ringing sound that the zincs don't. Canadian coppers do it too with a little more brilliant ring to them, probably from the higher copper content. It's quicker that using the scales. Turn off the Rydale first so you can hear it.
is there a way to tell if they are copper or not
