I'm bad at these guessing games....

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."

Work has been crazy for me too, but I still managed to go through around $1150 (a few hours last night, and some today).. You need to get your priorities in order, it's only a $100 bag |

Well stop sorting and start buying and hoarding unsorted bags and rolls now. The Ryedale will catch up real quick and you will no longer be counting exact numbers of coppers etc, just dealing in bulk pennies.
Oh and Go Canadian Copper Pennies !!! You're getting lots of those 98%ers |

I've been buying 2-3 bags week and throwing them in a pile in the garage for a while now. Also, short of counting this bag, I haven't done any real sorting in over a month. Even when I get a Ryedale, I won't be a big time sorter. I can't find a bank with a counter withing 40 miles of my house. The only convenient one that I know of is 90 minutes away and that is where I get my bags for sorting. They are averaging 30-35% and do not want to mess that up. |

Yes, I live in NY about 60 miles from the border. the number of Canadians did not suprise me as i was gueseing about 200. I was suprised that som any of them were copper. Generally, there is a higher % of steel Canadians.
Congradulatins to the winners. |
