First $25 in my new Ryedale Sidekick

Postby MatthewsTech » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:20 pm

Got my new Ryedale sidekick today!

Ran a $25 Box of CWR from my local CU.

Ended up with 25% copper, 9 wheats.

Also got a VERY thin 1973 penny, maybe acid washed or something.

Today I ran Zinc Accept first, then double checked the copper with a copper accept.

Only coin that rejected on copper accept was the thin 73.

Had a bunch of copper canadian in with the copper US, is it worth trying to tweak to get the canadian to reject(and keep seperately of course)?

My goal is to run 2 comparitors in series on the reject side so it does zinc accept then copper accept and should leave me with a small little pile of pre 43 wheats on the final reject.

I've noticed a different sound on Canadians as well. I can dump a roll of 50 pennies and there is what seems to be a higher pitch sound with a Canadian coin. (I'm not a sound expert, but that's what it seems like to me)

Also, I'm wondering if someone from Canada would say that when they dump a roll of Canadian coins they hear a noticeably different sound from the U.S. pennies...

It is weird that the coins would have a perceptibly different sound as both are 95% or more copper. Go figure.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

Nice. I wish I would have done that when I started. I started a while back and already have an album almost full, but it would be nice to have all the nice looking ones that have gone in the copper pile.
