Normal 15% Nickel, 35% CuNi and 50% steel for Nickels, and 50%ish for copper pennies. Interesting finds though include:
1943 US Steel Penny in good condition
"20" Swiss CuNi Coin (Nickel like)
10 cent Aussie coin with a neat little hedgehog? on it.
Older nickel sized Thai Baht without a value I can read (maybe 1 baht as same size as new 1 bahts I have)
Entire roll of US Nickels - nicely labeled
5 dimes in penny rolls
entire roll of pennies in a nickel roll (50 cents of value for 2 bucks) and there was one loosy copper in that roll too!

Tried penny sorting today and I'm glad I did-
results-
$5.00 in pennies bought
$1.23 in pre 82 coppers
$0.08 copper 82's
$0.01 copper Canadian
Bonus find
My first Indian Head ever dated 1899 (find was also notated on the Indian Head thread)
26.4% not including the Indian.
I seem to have better luck when I only buy pennies at $5 at a time, but that is only me I guess. |

this is a great hobby, i havent posted a sorting % report in many months partially because copper started to go down. recently it started going back up and my wife picked a pristine 1984 penny so i decided to sort $10 tonight. i went to the bank, got 20 handwrapped rolls. they looked promising and they were. it looked like somebody busted open a piggy bank stashed away in 1989. (people here in maine wondering how the heck we are going to stay warm this coming winter.)
high copper % with many prisine 82's thru 89's
370 copper for 37% including 3 wheats , one a 1917
6 copper canadian
25 1982's
and 1 darned dime |

When my wife got after me it sounded like "Blah,Blah,Blah", but now it sounds like "Clink,Clink,Clink". Its amazing what that Ryedale can do for a hounded husband. |

Picked up $10 face in paper Brinks rolls, 19% copper, plus 33 '82s. Not a bad start to the week, by my standards.
Also got a nicely toned '22-P Peace dollar for just under melt, and a roll of '43-S nickels for 10% under melt.
Also got my first Capped Bust half dollar, although i paid quite a bit over melt for her. Very pretty, tho :) |
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead? |

M83striker, I just saw your signature line. I'm not even married, but that signature is great!

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Buy less coin... find more Indians? |

$55 in Brinks penny-condoms- no copper
$20 in CWRs- 20% copper, 2% 1982, no wheats or Canadians
$10 in nickels- 5 pre-1962s, nothing special
So, 7 of the last 12 Brinks boxes (14 of the last 24) have been duds. While i'm sure they appreciate my business, i think i'm going to have to stop buying them... since i never even hit 20% on the non-sorted boxes, i'm just spending too much time trucking them from bank to bank. |

| Found something in my sorting tonight even tougher than those Indian cents that keep eluding TenBears. I found a very special rare and elusive 1969-S penny. Nope, not the double die.. it was a proof. I have found proof halves and nickels in circulation before, but this was my first proof copper cent. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available. |
