I think moboman is right. Besides, it was Xmas, and highroller seems like a really good guy.. I wanted to share the joy of sorting. I felt the machines were going to a good home.
mobo was right about the old man thing too. Yesterday I stopped by one of my banks for a drive by and they gave me:
200 CWR pennies
100 CWR dimes
50 CWR nickels
20 CWR quarers
plus 4 free canvas bank bags to carry it out in.
Dang, I had a hard time carrying out that little bit of coin and getting it to the back side of the parking lot to put in the car.. seems you never get a good parking spot when you get lots of coins.. guess I must be getting too old for this game.. |
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. |

I am a hand sorter, and I dream of sorting piles of pennies more often than I like to admit. |

Welcome to the forum Chris. Nothing wrong with dreaming of sorting pennies Just hand sort as many as you can and fullfill your dreams |

Didn't have either one of my carts with me. Wasn't expecting to get any coins that day. And I rarely need one of the carts for drivebys. But when it gets up over a hundred pounds it can get a little tricky hauling all your loot out of the bank. Those bank bags don't have any handles on them.
I think I will at least start keeping my little cart in the trunk. It is good for 150 pounds. The big one is good for 660 pounds, so I will only take it for scheduled pickups. |

Ha yeah it is always best to be prepared because you never know when an oppurtunity may present itself! Good idea with keeping the little cart in your truck.
Yeah it gets tricky trying to hold all those bags at once without any handles...let alone trying to hold them and open doors at the same time! |
