I stopped at a CU today to see if I could pick up some pennies. My regular bank is supposed to be saving CWR pennies for me but had only $2.50 worth...WOW.... Well the CU didn't have boxes but one teller had $50.00 CWR. I said I'll take them. As she went to get a bag I scanned her quartes and dimes. Got a 1953 dime. So I thought this is my day. Got home and started dumping rolls in to the Ryedale. I kept pulling out pennies that were stuck/ super glued together. Did this about 10-12 times. One time there where 3 stuck together. There was also one zinc that was cut and bent. And the Ryedale jamed with almost every roll. Man was I irritated. After I finally got through the mess I reran the coppers cause I knew I was dropping everything in the bucket clearing the jams. I found a 1943 "steel" penny. There are coppers in the zinc bucket I am sure but I am ready to "dump" these suckers. 1 Silver Dime and 1 Steel penny for my troubles. Was it worth it? I don't know. Gonna search the coppers tommorrow for wheats after I get a good nights sleep to let the fustration fade away.

| I don't own a Ryedale, but maybe this could help out a bit. Do you folks open the penny rolls and do a quick search for wheat pennies by naked eye inspection? It adds some time to the sort, but you would avoid the machine sending the wheat-backs into the zinc pile. |

When I don't get bags, I do a quick check of the rolls looking for bent, sticky, glued, wrong denomination, etc. I do not sort for wheats. Trash (zinc) pile and a pile with everything. All depends on the target coin, and your machine settings on what goes in what pile. Works out well for me.

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."

| I have a zinc in my Ryedale so it accepts zinc and rejects everything else. That is why the steel was in the copper bucket. I put the coppers (rejects)in a penny box after the Ryedale sorts them. I go through them later at my leisure to get out the wheats and canadians and whatever else was rejected. I guess the 1919 and 1916 wheats were the "finds" in this batch. Usually a beat up/ chewed up zinc is in the pile. When I am done the final sort goes into a 5 Gal bucket w/ a lid. |
