I love how the threads always start like you're introducing your self at an AA meeting! :lol:

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. :shock:
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.
