Do any of you get that adreneline rush before you pick up a box of pennies at the bank?

Geeze, I got one just asking for some halves even though the teller didn't have any.

all I can say is that I love that feeling, even if I don't get anything that I'm after

A bit the same, but I like better the X-MAs feeling of opening the box. Are the rolls machine wrapped, or hand-rolled, old wrappers etc...

Cheers.

I find the rush occurs sometime after 10 or so minutes when sorting. The constant findings increase the buzz, levelling off so thereafter.

You been too close to these coins?

I like when the Cu sort pile is bigger than the zinc pile. I hand sort and was doing a $25 machine wrapped box yesterday and hit a 62% Cu roll, then a 70%, then a 72%! Ended up with 8 rolls 50% or better. The box was 33.6% (817 Cu, 15 Wheat, 8 Cu Canadian), not counting the '82's that I don't keep.

I got my arenaline rush last year when I found a 1909S VDB in a brinks box. Now that just makes you want to sort more. I made a profit of $499.99 and the hits just keep on coming.

That is an outstanding percentage and I think you are missing a great opportunity with the 82's but still I would kill for that percentage. The 82's have account for 2.1% of the 19.06% average I get in Western Tennessee.
