| How about keeping the Canadian Coinage and US coinage as seperate topics....Many people in the US, can't get at the Canadian coinage and visa versa. |

Well, I would read them both anyway - I like to keep abreast of preecentage reports regardless of location. In fact, I would love to see sorting reports from other places (eg New Zeeland, which just debased its coinage) to gain a better overstanding of the global psycological trend towards hoarding. Plus, I like bragging in this thread, and have been doing so since its very first incarnation. Has this been bothering anyone else?

I like to think of myself as inspiration to you US guys - proof that the hoarding lifestyle can make you rich slowly by combining comodities investing with discount buying.

right now I think your best buy down there is nickels. Low labour with a big potential upside.

While I like nickels, I still like pennies better. The nickels are just a buy and hold commodity. With the pennies you can sell off part of the hoard and plow the profits back into making the hoard bigger.

Wow! The boss went to the bank today and got a roll of nickels for the float - the entire roll was solid .999 nickel, except for 2 steel war nickels and a rare 1943 "V for Victory" tombac/copper nickel. Needless to say, I went down to the bank and bought the $100 worth of customer rolled nickels they had. I'm going to search it tonight and I'll post what I find.

Well, I had quite a day today. I had $1000 and was on a road trip for work, so I hit up some banks, enough to get $1010.00 face value in canadian nickel rolls - max 2 boxes per bank, many only had 10 or 30 rolls. Several banks had none.
Only one box of hand-rolled coins and one 10-roll bundle of machine rolled coins were skunked. The hand rolled box did yeild up 3 nickels that a hand sorter obviously missed. It also had the guy's bank account number written on the box. The 10 machine rolled skunk rolls worried me a little, since they may be a sign that one of the banks or other big coin handlers is now searching their coin holdings.
Using my RyeDale coin artist and my Glory WR-200, it took me a little under 3 hours from wrapped boxes of unsorted coin to wrapped boxes of sorted coin + a big bucket of pure nickel. Over 2 hours of that time was spent running the sorter, which, while fast, is much slower than the wrapper. That includes a double sort with the Ryedale, because it tends to miss 5 or so coins per box, so I always double sort my holdings to squeeze out every last ounce of pure nickel. In this case, the second sort netted me exactly 1 pound extra (100 coins)
The CoinArtist had the occasional "alignment jam" where nickels in the hopper would allign in such a way as to make them unmovable by the feeder, by those were easily cleared by simply shaking the feeder block. I also had one nickel with sharp gouges in the side that jammed in the feeder block, requiring emptying the hopper and removing it, and two cases of "double nickels" with nickels stuck together - these slow the machine down but you can let the hopper empty itself (at the slower rate) and then just pull out the doubled coins. All in all, I'm quite impressed with this unit as a nickel sorter, especially since it was designed initially for pennies. >20,000 sorts/hour!
As for the WR-200, well, it's just a sweet sweet dream. Coins go in the top, 40 rolls come out the bottom every minute, until you press the button to stop.
So: Here are the numbers for this sort:
4328/20200
=21.43%
Running totals
Nickels
Sorted: 239,280
Found: 56,758
Average: 23.72%
Also: 43lb * $23 = $989
- face ($215) = $774 profit
/ 3 hours = $258/hour!
Hours to pay off my capital costs (wrapper, sorter, paper): 9.7
After that: Profit!

My last bank run yielded:
12500 Zinc (uncirculated 2007)
0 Coppers
The good news is they took me 30 seconds to sort instead of the usual 5+ hours

20 Customer Wrapped Rolls
Ran into some pre-sorted all zinc rolls. I could pick them out and predict these rolls, as these rolls were of same type wrapper - I keep my zincs too, so someone else is also sorting in the area.

4 copper wheat - 1930, 1940, 1945, 1956

Was that charge for buying or returning pennies? Just curious...
