My hand sorting strategy

Figured I'd so something productive while taking a bathroom break, so I've installed a box of pennies to sort through for coppers.
Now that I started though doing it manually w/o use of a machine I'm finding just about 1 wheat per 200 pennies. Most interesting to me that just today while going through 8 rolls i found a 1940 in great shape and a 1927 in about F12 condition. By far that's the nicest I've found so far (Although I did find a 1957 MS62 red a while ago). Now I have something productive to do!

Never use your dump site to pick up pennies

The question is if you drop a copper cent and it makes a "splash" do you retrieve it..??

How many "rolls" do you go through?

That's actually a very good idea because of copper's antimicrobial properties.

May I suggest a little Raisin Bran and more fruit to speed things along.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Can you pass me a roll? "

I sit with my laptop and "realcent". Why "facebook" when you can "realcent"? Becoming more wise while becoming less full.

I've found a few local coin guys via facebook, so I do both
Hoping to get a ryedale in the next month or so and put things on warp drive.
