Look at it this way.. you get almost all your money back. For less than a nickel you can buy a whole new box!  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

5 boxes sourced from three different branches, all Brinks plastic.
2 100% mixed zinc (2 different branches)
1 box at 4% Cu
1 box at 17% Cu
1 box at 18% Cu
$10 face in CWRs, 12% Cu
Oh, and my gram scale died after about 2 hours of use... useless overpriced lithium coin batteries.
On the upside, one of the good boxes got me a copper planchet. Also one 1988 cent in high-AU condition that looks like the planchet actually cracked under pressure.
Also-
4 pounds of "unsearched wheats"- about 60 "keepers" from the batch, including five common-date Indians. A couple with mintages < 5mil
$150 in nickels- about 20 1940s-1950s in G-VG condition. No 30s, no silver. One almost prooflike 2005D buffalo.
1 "bank roll" of buffalo nickels- lots of 36Ps, but several in nice shape, only 4 dateless wonders.
Edit to add- $10 in CWR, newest coins being 1987s, about 60% Cu (+/- another 8% 1982 coins). Man, the mint used some lousy dies in the 80's. Need to get a working scale to put together some 1982 variant sets. |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

| I did not count today, but it looked like about a 20% copper haul in today's sort. A 35 and a 37 for older wheats found. No Feathers. |

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

1 $50 Gold Eagle
Set of Lion coins from Singapore including 1/4th, 1/10th and 1/20th oz gold coins.
and yes, I actually did buy a small baggie of copper cents.. included mostly early wheats (2 32-D and a 15-D) and 17 Indian cents.. many in VF-XF. |

So far this week...
$5 in Mercury dimes (purchase, just under melt)- all 40's
$5 in Peace dollars (paid a bit of a premium, all <2mil mintage)
$10 in halves- all 2000-Ps. Shouldn't have opened the roll.
$10 in nickels- was astonished to find a 1937-P (Buffalo) in VF condition, otherwise just spending money.
$10 in pennies, Brinks paper wrappers- about 15% copper
2 $25 Brinks plastic-wrapped boxes- mixed zincs  . i think i'm at something like 7 for 13 now.
$40 in nickels- a half-dozen '40-'59s, none especially nice
$150 in Brinks plastic pennies, split between two branches- got a total of 4 in the 14lb 10oz range, and two at 14lb even, so at least i'll get SOME copper this week... |
