out of $1050 from brinks today $175 contained 10% copper.. yikes!

How have they been running previously?

22%

That is really low - Do you think you have another "miner" in your area that might have contributed to your low numbers . Were any of them whole boxes of newer released coins 2009, 2010 etc?

out of the $1050, $875 was about 25% copper. the other $175 contained 90% 2011s. yes there is another sorter in town.

I'm getting a lot of 2011s in south Texas lately, but my percentages have never averaged much more than 12%.

12% eh? it seems you would have to get 2.3x face to make it worth your time..

I'm not doing this to get anything for them. My holdings in PMs are so low that I'm sorting copper (the poor mans AG) to build some inflation-proof funds. The "cost" of my time is really not the issue either. I work all the time and at varying rates of profitability. I pick up aluminum cans...I pick up pennies in the Wal-Mart parking lot as I walk towards the entrance or back to my car...right now, I am taking a break from editing a paper for a college student from Saudi Arabia. Always hustling.

Edited to say that I also have a regular job, too.

Sounds like you need to find another source for your coins....

Deal

SELL THOSE 2011S ON EBAY WHILE YOU CAN!

Clue the new guy(me) in, why does anyone buy 2011 pennies or any zincs for that matter?

I have not seen a copper in change here in Indy in 6 weeks. I pay with cash so I have a lot of opportunities for coppers.
