I'm looking into buying one of these and have a few question if anyone here can answer them.
1. Is it accurate and reliable? 2. Does it drop the coins into the shotgun tubes without them hitting the edge and going all over the place 3. Are the penny tubes long enough to hold 50 coppers without going past the top lip?
The wrapper I have now will hold 50 zincs in the tube fine but since coppers are thicker only 49 coppers fit in the tube. Also it doesn't drop the pennies in the shotgun tube all that great so about every 3rd roll I get a jam.
I think I saw another thread where someone said Sam's Club had the 4 row Royal Sovereigns for under $90. Anyone know if that's true?
I have one, although since I return loose I rarely use it anymore. Just for rolling gas rolls....They are slow when compared to the Ryedale, but it does making counting/rolling easier. Sometimes there are jams but it is to be expected. Never had a problem with the tube over flowing. Worth the money.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
I still use my Royal Sovereign to do my hand rolls though. The tubes are long enough for 50 coppers and it rarely overshoots a tube. It is a decent machine for the price and mych better than many other low end machines. You can sometimes get a pretty good deal on one on eBay.

I have one. I have found if you are sorting multiple denominations it works great. One type of coin and the machine can't keep up with the coin going in the same slot. It's just not trouble free for me. I would not recommend for our purposes of sorting only pennies.
