1 box yielded:
209 Ni (10.45%)
Amazing. Last box was 211 (10.55%) and this time it's 209 (10.45%) Very similar numbers.
And:
10 U.S., 1 rabbit and 1x42 in good shape.
Keep the Ni coming. Nickel is up 51% this year. It's got nowhere to go but up. |

I was going to stop sorting over the holidays, but I started suffering from withdrawal symptoms so I picked up a small batch (10 rolls of Nickels and 10 rolls of pennies) when I was cashing a cheque today.
10 rolls of Nickels yielded
- 32 x Ni (8%)
- 1 x 1958 Elizabeth
- 1 x multisided Cuban coin, I am seeing a lot of those lately.
- 10 x Americans (post 1963)
The pennies sorting turned to be really good (nothing after 1987) and got 98% copper.
I nearly got a 100% yield, if it wasn't for 10 post 1982 Zincolns |

1945V, I haven't done any pennies at all. I'll try a box.
Like you, I wanted to stop for the holidays, but today I could not resist. I grabbed a box as I was passing a bank. I took a quick quick look at the top coins on 5 of the rolls and I think it's going to be a good one.
Copper box tomorrow... hehe cool.
Wolverine... God bless America! I love your country. Also, when I search any box, nickels, dimes, quarters, I get all kinds of U.S. coinage, giving me an instant profit on the exchange rate. Not to mention, I love American coinage, just for the styles. It's great stuff!  |

Good job on the 98% copper box 1945V,sure makes hand sorting go alot quicker.
I had a box once that had 2 non copper cents in it.
I was going to stop sorting over the holidays as well but they put the discount Ni and Cu stores next to the Christmas present stores. |
