When my wife got after me it sounded like "Blah,Blah,Blah", but now it sounds like "Clink,Clink,Clink". Its amazing what that Ryedale can do for a hounded husband. |

Got some great CWR in last night's sort. Several rolls with nothing newer than 1963! Almost all Wheat cents.. and the majority of those were S mint.. even the ones in the 20's and 30's. They weren't solid copper though.. there were Steel cents mixed in.. 7 or them.. 1 P, 1 D, and 5 S mints!  |

1 box finished today:
796 1959-82 Cu 31.84%
12 Wheat cents
7 Canadian cents
That's now 12 boxes in a row that have fallen below my average copper yield of 32.79% this year. It's a small decrease and nothing to worry about really, but just thought it was interesting to note that there was a small downward trend of about 2% less overall on those last 12 boxes. |
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.

| Actually make that a trend over the last 16 boxes, and also 18 out of the last 20. It's ok though, I have a modest hoarding goal of hitting 50K-75K of copper cents by the end of the year, so I am well on my way to making it. |

Hello all
I posted to the indian head cent thread the other day when I finally found my first indian cent. Today I picked up $20 customer rolled pennies and found several full copper rolls. Only nine wheaties in the total but I found my second indian head cent (1898 good condition) just three days after finding the first. Copper was over $10 in this $20 sort by far my best %. I usually average 20-22%. They say things happen in three's so maybe next week I will pull a third indian. |

| Today's sort of $100. 21.25% copper (a little better than usual) with 34 wheat and 5 copper Canadians. Oldest wheat was 1911. Also found a 27, 29 and a 39. No Feathered Liberty. |

Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

Well I didn't find any Indians yet today.. sorry tex. But I did find something even more elusive than the much vaunted and sometimes doubted feathered liberty.
Those of you that play craps are familiar with "Hard Ways"
Well, I found 2 silver dimes today.. 1 the easy way by sorting 12 bank wrapped rolls of dimes and 1 the hard way.. in a Brinks wrapped roll of pennies. These are much tougher to find than Indian cents or steel cents. It was a bent up/beat up 1956.. but it was silver! I have a heavy duy vise bolted to the work bench that can straighten it right out.
This makes a total of 3 silver dimes I have found in penny rolls so far. I think fiatboy has also found a silver dime.. anybody else? |

Struck Silver in my pennies again tonight! This time it was a 1930 Silver Sixpence of George V. That is the second one of those I have found so far.
I also found a 1914-S in VF! |
