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.

It is in the zinc side. Just sift through them and you will spot it. Very easy to spot Indians on a bed of shiny zincs.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

When sorting with an IH, I think it rejects them with the coppers.

Wanna bet? You don't have it do you? Where do you suppose it went? Tests have shown that IH's can go either way when using an IH as a reference coin.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

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 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.

My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.
