One fine day, I was going along, sorting pennies, and what did I see? Two empty yogurt cups! Normally I only have one empty cup for scooping pennies, and another for my foreign coins and IHs, so I realized that sometime I had dumped the other cup with my second Indian Head (first was my reference so I still have it) into the unsorted buckets! I thought it would come out with the coppers in the reject slot but it apparently didn't. The one I still have is in better condition though.
I'm thinking you want to get yourself a new piece of equipment Luke - a good used glass jar - to put your IH and international coins in. Too confusing to have a "keeper" cup and scoop cup that look the same. Hope you find it soon.

I did something similarly stupid.I hand sort and put the S's into a baggy, well one morning I couldn't remember what the bagged ones were so dumped em into the copper bucket.DUUUHHHHH, got a couple of handfuls back but no way was I resorting the bucket.
I have done something like that too. I sort by hand and accidentally scooped my coppers into the zinc reject pile. Not a big deal, but it did slow down the process.
