I throw all my usa coppers and 96 and under canadians together...anyone else do this? Pretty close to same copper content so why not

I keep them in different bags so that I will have to resort later.

Why would you have to resort? They all melt down the same way id imagine

Nope. Way too type A for that.

I even sort the Canadians by CU content. Who's with me?

Almost. I don't sort by Cu content, but I do sort them by their weight.

Just a thought with the Canadian government planing to melt all the cents they get back from the banks later this year one would think that the Canadian cents might be worth more to collectors that just melt in a few years. We tube by year and type.

nothing state that you will be able to melt both at the same time also there should be a play on selling the Canadians outright once the withdrawning take place.

Back in 2007 when I was in noob mode on Realcent I never sorted Canadians out, kept them with US copper because of A. the higher purity and B. heavier weights in most cases that no one would care when it came to cash in. One factor that also played a important part was the lack of Canadian copper to even be worth separating.

Now its the exact opposite, I sort into these categories:
1980-1996
1965-1979
Young Queens 1964 and Earlier
King George VI
King George V

So yeah its a matter of taste and desire to sort. Some buyers are picky of PURE US copper with no impurities, even if its better like Canadian stuff

Damn....back in the day i use to even throw wheats with copper....that changed....now maybe its time for me to seperate canadians....but how the hell do i go through $1000 fv of pennies lmao

The easy way?

Grab a Ryedale- take care of that in no time

Lance...when I get stuff organized...I'll just trade you CTU for CTU....you can have all pure copper from my stack and I'll take your CTU w/wheats and canadians!

Lol good one....

I seperate now, but when I first started I didn't. I started to seperate after about $50 face.

Add me to that type A list.

It takes to much time for me to seperate them so I throw them all together.

i dont but i just started

i toss them all together, and i know i'm giving up value a bit, but i usually only throw in pre '82 canadian just since i'm in the zone hand-sorting.

If you hand sort I am not sure why you would mix them...

i keep all mine together

Agreed, but I don't see too many in Tennessee

How would i seperate them w a ryedale? Stick a canadian in the compartor?

I thought I was the only one who mixed US and Canadian coppers. I recently started keeping KGV and KGVI Canadians out of the copper bin, though. I see them as the wheaties and Indians of Canada.

Type A here as well.

I've always separated US and Canadian coppers.

I also separate the Canadians by date... I love the old KGV's and KGVI's.

RIP Canadian cents. Today is a sad day for me... and I don't even live in Canada.

I get a lot of canadians in upstate NY. I roll the 80-96 separate as well as the 79 and below till george. higher purity, but lower weight.Ya never know what the ebayers will pay for something.

In my stack there's pre97 only.
