Long time, first time. I thought that I should share my first "they do exist" experience. I have been hand sorting for about 6 months, usually a box a week averaging around 20-25% copper. Yesterday I received my typical weekly your box is in call (my mother in law works at the bank that I get my boxes from) so today I go and get $50 in hand rolled coins and what do you know around 85% copper with multiple all copper rolls and I quadrupled the amount of wheat's in my collection from today haul. So hears to my first post from a long time "lurker".

great score -- I'm still waiting for a few rolls like those but I'm pretty happy with the 25-30% I'm averaging

I started handsorting at the beginning of the year. Now I have far too many coppers. Be persistent, and have fun. Welcome.
