I'm already thinking ahead to my next order....4 boxes of pennies! That will keep me busy for quite a while.....at least a month. :lol:



Started the same way for me 1 or 2 boxes every week or every other week. You will know you are really sick, when you start handsorting 2 to 3 boxes a day

Not exactly sick, but you'll have constant neck strain!

I can sort 1 or 2 boxes a day, that's about it since I have to sort them by hand. Ahhh, just turn on some tunes and start rippin' them open!

Picked up a 1.5 boxes of pennies yesterday afternoon. Sorted 1 box worth and ended up with about 50 percent 2012's. So lots of shiny pennies to look at. However, among the findings were 6 wheaties, a few Canadian pennies...and a sorry looking dime! I'm guessing I acquired about 100 coppers too. I still have the half box left to finish...IN ADDITION TO....the 4 boxes I'm picking up from my CU later on today! Looks like it will be a busy weekend for me..

Next order...one box of nickels, or more pennies. Tough call to make!

Finished 1.5 boxes tonight. Again, many 2012's in the box. Probably about 50 percent. There were quite a few coppers though. I almost have a full tube of wheaties that I've found among all these hand sorted pennies.

I have been getting about 8 boxes per week. Lately, about half of those have been all 2011 or 2012's. :-(
