| Where are those 31% and better hoarders located? Do they have a disproportionate number of grannies turning in their coin jars? |

Pretty sure the high percentage guys live in Michagan and Maine. But you really wouldn't want to move there just for a higher percentage. Just take the percentage you can get locally and "just sort more!"  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| I'm fairly sure my % is low because this is a tourist area. If that's true, the % should rise slightly during the summer months and then go down again in fall. But I'm thinking I might get away from the Canadian campers and go into the farming area to see if the % is higher there. |

| Between 21-25% around here, if you count the copper 82s. |
