I was going through a box of pennies just recently that had been Ryedale sorted perhaps 4-5 years ago or so. Now I'm pretty picky about pulling out anything that is a cull or ugly for any reason.
I kept finding some pretty bad looking coppers in there and wondered if I was having a bad day that day or what was going on. Then I saw a little paper note I put in the box saying that those coins were Ryedale sorted. That explained it!
Now I don't want this to appear that I have negative feelings about Ryedales. They are such a time saver that they definitely serve a purpose. And to only have to go through, say, 20-25% of a box by hand (the ones that the Ryedale sorted as coppers) was a LOT better than having to go through 100%.
Now if I can just get some of that Dry Lube stuff. My bottle dried out for some reason and my machine won't run properly till it is lubed. Anyone know where I can get some at a reasonable price?
