I love how the threads always start like you're introducing your self at an AA meeting!
Admitting you sort is the first step.
Growing your horde is the second step.
Reaping the profits when the melt ban is lifted, and you have 2+ tons is the third step.
3 steps is better than 12!

2 months per roll = 100 months per box.
I roll hunt and put together about a box per week.

I remember the first time I purchased a box to sort. First, I was surprised at the weight and almost dropped it on my foot. Then I was supposed to meet my brother later so I carefully hid the box on the floor of my back seat (just like a junkie). Now I rarely have less than two boxes in my car and I don't care who sees it.

When I lived in American Samoa the precentages on Silver were crazy. The currency never leavs the island. It was common to get Silver dimes and quarters in change. I did some roll searching and got a whole roll of Franklin halfs. I did not start pre 1982 cents until I got back to the states.
