That sinking feeling

Postby reddirtcoins » Mon Aug 01, 2011 4:50 pm

So after sorting this weekend ($400fv) I sent the girl and her boyfriend to my good dump bank. Then when I got home I heard, you missed one and she handed my a 43.... I wonder what else I missed.

Can't have em all! When i dump my pennies i usually find a few that i missed. Although i have moved up to a coin comparator and it does mess up a bit more. Out of 5000 coins it missed 30.

it might not have been yours, it could have been in the machine from the previous user.

I run a zinc accept first. Last week I found a 1919 wheat in the zinc bucket. I then grabbed the small handfull of of teen wheats i have and tossed them in. All got rejected as copper besides the original 1919, and two other 1919 that were in the handfull. Not sure...

Ive read similar post on other forums, for some reason certain wheat's will get rejected as zinc over and over. Pretty interesting
