What have you guys done to me? I just started through my first full box of pennies. :lol:

I'm 3/4 of the way through hand sorting. 8 wheats including a really good 1911 s.

No luck on the copper though. I'm averaging about 10%. Here's hoping my next box turns up better.
Happy Hump day!

I would be really happy with 10% copper if I could find an 11s in each box! Care to put up a pic of the coin? We love pics!

by **jacer333** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 12:00 pm

Sorry for the rough percentage, atleast that 11s sweetens the deal! Enjoy the ride and don't blame us when your family complains about the addiction

1911 S is a wonderful find! :clap:

by **henrysmedford** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 2:02 pm

You should post you find here http://realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19695 as only one 1911-s has been found this year.

by **uthminsta** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 3:32 pm

I've NEVER found an 11S. And I've sorted a few... Way to go!

by **fasteddy** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 3:40 pm

Ah an '11 s? Noobie are you Kirklanding us? Pics or it didn't happen. And welcome to RC, where are you getting those dismal percentages?

by **bman** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 3:44 pm

I would search a box with no copper at all if I knew I would get a 1911-S out of it! :shock:

I'm thinking the majority of members here might have NO idea who that is. But it's still quite funny for those that do.

Props for turning his name into a verb. I was still a trolling N00B when that guy was here.

Pic coming on my lunch. I snapped a few pics last night but got busy helping bubba sort and forgot to upload.

Very nice find. What state are you in? With red rocks i'm guessing Arizona. I've been hand-sorting in New Jersey for about 6 months and averaging about 28% in my boxes so far. I'm sure your % will improve with time.

I'm Utah. First box was 13% copper and 8 wheat. Second box is looking pretty similar. I'm not too worried. Sorting is like running to me, soothing somehow. :thumbup:

I'll pick up from my CU tomorrow and see if that's any better.

by **NJ Sorter** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 4:54 pm

Absolutely. Good luck with the next one!

by **fasteddy** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 4:58 pm

Nice pic

...yep we like pics.

I am so glad you weren't Kirklanding us :thumbup:

Good luck on the CU P/U.

She can be taught! I'm a quick learner. "Pic or it didn't happen" :lol:

You then need to post it here as it might be a year are so before some one else finds one.

by **Romalae** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:42 pm

Not even the seasoned veterans find 1911-S's commonly. That's quite a lucky find for a novice! Congrats. It more than compensates for the pitiable copper percentages...hopefully that improves for you!

by **slickeast** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:43 pm

Handsorters find all the good stuff. When you run 4- 5 Ryedales at once you don't see these gems. Sometimes i sort through my coppers pulling wheats but haven't found anything exciting.

This is also another benefit of being on the west coast. More S mint coins

by **reddirtcoins** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 6:52 pm

That's one nice penny!

by **bman** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 8:28 pm

That 1911-S is worth more than the rest of the box combined :thumbup:

by **everything** » Fri Dec 14, 2012 12:23 am

Congrats, and welcome to RC, I've been handsorting a few years myself, and still get exited about finding anything low mintage. Get one of those little red boxes for storing your good finds in 2*2's, I filled one up, always note the date I found it, etc. Cheap excitement and thrills, it's been fun.

by **Numis Pam** » Fri Dec 14, 2012 3:06 am

Wow! and Welcome! :wave:

You are off to a great start! Keep sorting and sharing! :angel:

by **penny pretty** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 10:33 pm
