Since all copper abes (ugly or not) are going to eventually be melted down - why go to the trouble to separate them out?

If you intend to melt ok but if your selling the flat rate box for $130 to $145 but stackers prefer nice coppers as we may Sell rolls in the future.

I have my au's separate an hope to see action for hole fillers at least 5 cents in future

The ugly will be melted down. The ones with numismatic value will not. I have separate rolls marked BU/AU + in anticipation. Also, do not be surprised if "junk copper" trades like "junk silver" does now at some point in the future.

Mostly this reason.

And if you're already sorting anyway how difficult is it to weed them out...? Answer: none difficult.
