Hello everyone, newbie here from GA. I've been collecting silver coins for years, and now i've decided to try the pre-82 copper cent hoarding gig. I can see already that it can be more "addictive" than I thought..lol

welcome aboard! Are you hand sorting? It is so addictive it has become my second job (the same with a lot of the others).

Welcome to realcent. Glad you decided to make the plunge and hope you'll share your silver wisdom for our mutual benefit.

Welcome to the board. Copper rocks and can be had for pennies. Happy hunting.

Welcome to the board! Where are you located in GA? I'm in GA too, the "old state capital" of Georgia.

I am hand sorting as well. What percentage of coppers have you been finding. Here in Milledgeville it runs between 10% to 14%. The highest I ever obtained was 17.8%. The copper % tends to be lower in GA relative to other regions of the country.

You are off to a good start posting this at 12:29 AM. I read it the other day at 3:00 AM.

What kind of percentage are you getting on your pennies in Macon?

about 17-18 percent

Wow, that is encouraging. I had been hand sorting and pulling 10 - 14%, but my recent batch was 17.8% (which I thought was a fluke). I'm thinking of buying a Ryedale. It is good to hear of higher percentages in GA. Ed in WI is pulling 30% or more copper.

welcome to the forum. there is a lot of knowledge here

Welcome.

Deal

Welcome to the madness.......welcome to the fun!!!

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

Same here Beamer. The very first batch I sorted was a $25 dollar bag of CWR, it was 19% The string boxes that i've been getting are about 16-17%. When I do manage to get $10.00 worth of CWR here and there, it's usually about 18%.

Another Georgia welcome from Warner Robins!

12-13% in ATL

Wow, pretty consistent Cu % in GA. I guess GA is just not a good area for getting high yeilds on Cu. My Ryedale is on the way. With it being so hot, I guess I will be inside firing up the Ryedale working double time to acquire Cu. The guys up North are quite lucky to be pulling 20 - 30%.

Please make sure you fine tune your hopper
Else you may lose out on some copper

I was just flippantly adding to PreservingThePast's epic rhyme.

okay cool

Hello everyone this is my first post here at realcent. I am from a small town called Aragon, Ga

I have been buying/selling/collecting pm's for the past 2 years

Im a silver bug at heart and just recently got into the copper penny idea. I already have a ryedale and I guess you can say im hooked already after my first batch was ran thru yesterday.

You can find me on bullion stacker that is were i buy sale and trade most of my items at. I go by the same name over there as i do here.So if we strike a deal here you can check my 200+ feedbacks over there for reference.

Thanks and im looking forward to the knowledge i will learn here at real cent.
