600g is fine for roll weights, but you need one of the larger scales like terminal99 got or my 72 pounder to check an entire box weight for dud boxes. This really saves a lot of time when you get a run of dud boxes. It is also handy for estimating counts of entire bags of zinc or copper cents if you don't have a counter.

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

While you're waiting on the Ryedale, buy some boxes of pennies and have them ready to go once it arrives. I went thru 6 boxes at one time when mine came.



Ditto - blew through a Large Flat Rate box full of loose pennies (don't try and lift that loose, push across the floor), a monster jar, several tyvek bags, a big mixing bowl, and several $25 loose boxes, and then I ran out of loose coin! I wish I'd spent more time opening rolls and completely stopped handsorting nickels. I have more coin purchased in reserve to run, but now I see how Hoard can have standing orders for 24 boxes at a time. This machine gets hungrey!

I'm also going to get very serious about finding a place I can dump loose coin at in bulk - otherwise it will take weeks to roll up all this steel - and I'm getting 50% Cu here in Canada so it could be a LOT worse if I was at 15% Cu.

I fabricated a couple of customized penny boxes to receive the coins, including a flap that the divider holds up to stop coin from bouncing from one box to the other. I need to make two more now so I can switch them out on the fly without stopping the machine.
