Ok, it's not a drop in the bucket compared to most of you guys, but I just hit the 5-lb. mark on Cu pennies.
Well, i'm new and you have to start somewhere. Well, that's where i'm at.
Not worth much I realize, but what the hay.

Sure does, only 95 more pounds to go. I figured that I would set a goal of 100-lbs.
I can always set a new goal when the first one is reached, but we'll see.
I guess I need to start buying boxes.

Eventually you'll be eyeballing 55-gallon drums for storage. Just remember I told you that.

Nice job. I'm a hand sorter who just started about a year ago. I had a couple of empty glass half-gallon milk bottles that I figured would be good for coppers. I thought I would never fill them both up. One year and 6 full half-gallon bottles later (along with half of another huge glass jar), and I'm looking to "upgrade" my storage situation.

Congrats on the first 5 pounds! I remember my first 5 pounds.. it kind of snowballs after that. Next goal should be to double your holdings.. 10 pounds.. then 20. Careful, this copper hoarding thing is rumoured to be addictive.
