For newbies lurking, this is basically the "perfect sort", 10 wheats, 6 canadian, roughly 20-25% copper, a log cabin, and a small pile of 59-62s. By perfect I mean the best you can reasonably hope for from a typical box - the real perfect sort would be solid wheats, haha.

| And the stuff closest to my knees are the 1982s. |

| Neat photo! Ag, do you hand sort or do you have a Ryedale? I think CU searching is neat, but pennies, like dimes, are just too small for my old eyes. |

| Fairly new to this. I'm curious why you separate the 59-62 pennies from the 63-82 pennies? |

I am really getting good at barely getting by |

I think it is because they have lower mintages and he believes that they will have numismatic potential later on. |

This, and from 59-62 there was a tiny amount of tin in the coins (look in Red Book). So I am sorting by composition as well. |
