Too bad about the war nickels...

Very impressive! 
But, I have one question. How do you have any time for cards?
Continued success in 2013!

Very nice!
I'm brain dead tonight from a thousand mile drive, but I'll make sure to run the numbers tomorrow to see how many ounces you're averaging per box.

Great job! You just motivated me to try and make a list for 13!
Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?
Oh, it looks good on you though.

Great stats! Helps me understand what's out there in some volume and the interesting thing to.me is that the 90% percentage is all more or less in the same percentage of 0.04 to 0.06%, regardless of dimes quarters or halves. It's only the 40% halves that cause the halves to be more worthwhile.

Incredible totals! This is the inspiration I need to keep searching. I left my log journal back home in GA, but I can't wait to pour over the 2012 numbers when I return.

Congrats Nick....incredible $ amount searched in a year...wow
Started wondering how my sorting compared...
You found 484.915 ozt. from $653,515.00 sorted or 1 ozt. per $1,347.69 sorted.
My ratio ended up at 1 ozt. per $1,111.19 sorted.
I don't bother with nickels or quarters, but you sorted six times what I did, so i wonder if my sample size doesn't qualify?
WOW...six times as much...oh boy...
