Hi all.....
I have not been around here for about 6 months....
I pretty much stopped hoarding ...just a bit here and there for the past half a year. I need to take an inventory...but I guess i'm just over 7 tons now.
I pretty much just ran out of money....
If my job holds out and I close on my refinance....I'll be back at it again.
It's good to be back!

Good to hear from ya... Been wondering where you were. No kidding you ran out of money when you're sitting on 7 tons. |

Welcome back Cessna! It's good to hear from you. There was some concern here on the board since you had fallen off the radar for so long  |

Nice, it is good to hear that you are hanging in there. I was worried for you. I kept thinking the worst since you live Michigan and it has been hit so hard economically.
I have been winding down my penny "operation". I took a couple of months off of sorting and stopped buying pennies. Now I am sorting again, but not buying. I will probably work my reserve of unsorted down to 0 and keep it there.
I won't start buying again until copper inventories start declining or maybe I'll buy just a little to try and get some boxes of 2009 uncirculateds.

| Cessna wasn't entirely out of the game. I think we corresponded some over at GIM. Now, wouldn't it be nice if you had a gold hoard as heavy as your copper hoard?! We can all dream can't we? |

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

Welcome back. We missed you. Remember, you don't have to be seriously sorting to come here and post.. once you are over a few tons you are allowed to coast and sit on your hoard occasionally.  |
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. |

| Wow! 2,000,000 pennies! That has to be some kind record. Congrats! Unless my math is off, that's 40,000 rolls. Is storage an issue? |

As much as I say storage is not a problem....7 tons of copper (2 million+ pennies) do take up some room.....it requires about 7 x 55 gal oil drums. Nearly all my hoard is in smaller 5 gal pails....stacked 3 high on wooden pallets. Each pallet is 2 tons. I have nearly 4 of these pallets...so it is fairly compact. The pallets are made from some pretty stout hard wood. A normal pallet objects to the 2 ton load.
I still have room and want to get to 10 tons. |
