Kinda dissapointed though...i sorted all my handsorted coppers with the ryedale and bagged them outta the tub so i could weigh them...just seems like i woulda had more...a total of $611.46 APPROX. I guess i just gotta think positive and realize i have over $1200 worth of copper...gonna keep stacking and not worry about weight so much...just stack stack stack

As a small-time hand-sorter, I'm in awe at what you've got.

Serious.

Appreciate it...ive been handsorting for a little bit less than 6 months...but now with this ryedale hopefully i can make my way to the 1 ton club by this summer

So just curious - did the Ryedale have any rejects from your hand-sorting, and if so, how many and of what type?

Yah...i didnt count but id say approx between 50-100 1982s....i thought i could tell the difference but i guess not....also got some 70s in the mix...not a whole lot though...id rerun them and if they got spit out again i just threw them into the dump pile to be safe..

Gee...only 1200 worth of copper...I feel SO bad for you! I sure wish I had that amount.

I do agree though, keep on stacking!

Man that's a lot to go through in 2 days!..

Way to use that Ryedale though, think of all the screwing around hand sorting is when you can just hand sort the copper if you want. Let the machine pay for itself and hope your percentages are always good.

Have you found enough to keep the Ryedale happy!

Have you found a good bag source yet????

You'll find some from the 70s that ARE copper, just a little different alloy than your standard penny. No reason to toss them from the hoard.

I noticed in my last $300 or so, 70's Canadians are being kicked out as well. Did the US mint any pennies for Canada?

Ive been too busy with work lately to grab any bags...but i plan on grabbing some real soon...im tempted to invest all $ into silver lately since its low..

my first copper was a CTU bought from feebay(rydale sorted). I opened the box and saw wheats, so handsorted the whole thing. now i handsort and stack. just strikes me funny that some machine sort already handsorted pennies and vice-versa.

No. Similar alloy variances though in Canada.
