Hello Everyone!
As you can see I'm a new member here at Realcent, longtime lurker though, and thought I would introduce myself. I was originally introduced to precious metals/copper penny hoarding by my father many years ago, but it wasn't until now that I started to step up my copper game.
I purchased a Ryedale last week and started putting my first pennies through it yesterday and I'm already hooked. I'd like to thank you all for the treasure trove of information you all have provided me, and am looking forward to contributing!
Cheers!
-Garett

Thanks for the welcome!
My supply bank won't have any more for me until Tuesday! What's the best way you all have found to transport boxes from the bank to your vehicle?
When I picked up my first large order they were much much heavier than I was expecting..

After doing this for several months you will find you are getting stronger and can carry more. Usually for anything up to about 140 pounds I just evenly balance it between 2 sturdy canvas tote bags. For for than that it is best to take the advise of others and make a nice cart your next equipment purchase. I recommend a flat dolly with fold down handle for easy and convenient transport. The one I use has a 660 pound capicity and only cost me about 35 dollars on ebay a few years ago. Sure, it is a little bent up now, and has squeeky wheels.. but it still works fine.

That was my line of thinking too, I figure I can carry $200 FV between two bags. I was looking around at carts last night and found one that seems similar to the one you describe, but less weight capacity, and it was $50. I went to Home Depot today and was planning on getting a flat furniture dolly and altering it to hold one of my large 18 gallon totes and adding rope to it as a handle, but while I was there I found one of these -

We will see how it does with a $500 order on Tuesday. For $25 I figured it's worth a shot.
