| Last box of pennies sorted yielded about 45% copper. Most of these coins are approaching 3 cents in melt value up here in Canada. |

GASP! The best I have done so far was 18% and most boxes run 15%. I was told to expect 30% by the people who enticed me into this hobby.
As for sorting more, I just bought a hand truck for hauling them, since I can only carry $50 at a time on my shoulder. The hand truck was $17 at Big Lots. The dollar store also had some, but they were lousy quality and cost $60. |
A penny sorted is a penny earned!

| See Saul Mine.. It's all about location. Ny next week you will be looking for a bigger hand truck. I like the flat panel cart for hauling pennies in and out of the bank.. 660 pound capacity and I'm not holding the weight up like I would have to with a hand truck. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
