That is really low - Do you think you have another "miner" in your area that might have contributed to your low numbers . Were any of them whole boxes of newer released coins 2009, 2010 etc?

I'm getting a lot of 2011s in south Texas lately, but my percentages have never averaged much more than 12%.

I'm not doing this to get anything for them. My holdings in PMs are so low that I'm sorting copper (the poor mans AG) to build some inflation-proof funds. The "cost" of my time is really not the issue either. I work all the time and at varying rates of profitability. I pick up aluminum cans...I pick up pennies in the Wal-Mart parking lot as I walk towards the entrance or back to my car...right now, I am taking a break from editing a paper for a college student from Saudi Arabia. Always hustling.

Edited to say that I also have a regular job, too.

I have not seen a copper in change here in Indy in 6 weeks. I pay with cash so I have a lot of opportunities for coppers.
