Someones collection was in a $50 bag,
Indians 1887, 1900, 1903 IH pennies. Sneaky little guys were trying to hide in the zinc. Oh Well, I got em. I re-ran my zinc once more to be sure, thats where the 1887 was. The other two were split between the zinc and copper on a High Sensitivity zinc pass. I've yet to try the IH standard test.
Also got a couple pounds of wheats, including two bright 1943 steel pennies. Love it.

Nice.

Not a great pic, but they seem to be in pretty good cond.
The other two coins are a 1932 George V penny from Canada,
and an 1878 Netherlands One Cent.

I really like the Indian Head standard.
I left the machine on your stock setting, and it puts all the zinc in the accept and everything else in the reject.
I have missed one wheat (a very worn 1919-p), that I know of since the switch. I still have yet to find an Indian Head. |

Well if anyone deserves to hit the motherload it's you Andy.
Great find, and I'm glad you made some time to do some sorting for a change.
At the rate you're selling the Ryedales, there won't be any copper left by the end of this decade :) |

Looks like you still can see at least one diamond on the ribbon on Liberty's neck on the 1903. Good finds all.

I found my second indian today. 1905 .
I can (and did) thank my wife. She took pity on me and stopped at a bank and told me to get out and get some pennies.
The reason pity was needed was my source bank accidentally ordered new dollar coins instead of my halves . I was only going to get $10 worth, but when they started to open a full brick I said I would take it all. I'm glad that I did. It was in the bottom of the box.
This makes two for me since I began the sorting in the last week of Jan. I have probably gone through $1000 total. |

Wow!
Nice bag.
I have never found a steel cent in a bag or a box.
I catch the steel in reject trays every once in a while. |
