Brandt Coin Counter on Craigslist

Postby Corsair » Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:10 pm

I don't know too much about coin sorters, but the price looks about right to me. I'm only halfway interested - I don't really think I need one. But...

Those just sort the different coin denominations. . . not the different compositions. Depends on your needs.
Soooo... Is it just me or is a chart of US debt looking dangerously parabolic?

slvrbck is correct. This item sorts by denomination. If that is what you are looking for I remember them being a work-horse. A company I worked for replaced this model with a newer coin sorter, so keep in mind that this is not a modern machine but rather loud and clunky.

I understand it doesn't sort the compositions - I have a Ryedale to do that job. I would use it for counting out my coppers and if I could, precounting bags of zincs to go back to the banks.

I would not buy this unit. Its old, bluky, and very very loud. If it breaks you will not be able to find parts for them very easily. I would just spend the extra $100 or so and get a CS-10.
