101,383 - Copper Cents
3,399 - Wheat Cents
4 - Indian Head Cents
11 - Silver Washington Quarters
1 - 1871 Seated Liberty Dime
2 - Barber Dimes
91 - Mercury Dimes
961 - Silver Roosevelt Dimes
11 - Silver Canadian Dimes
1 - War Nickel
1 - 1892 Columbian Exposition
2 - 1893 Columbian Exposition
2 - 1952 Booker T. Washington/George W. Carver
51 - Walking Liberty halves
82 - Franklin halves
252 - 1964 Kennedy halves
1,791 - 40% Kennedy halves

Best of luck to everyone in 2013

Very nice. Congrats!

Too bad about the war nickels...

Whoa! Amazing record keeping! Very large amounts searched!
How in the heck do you have time to post anything?? Great Job tho!

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!

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...

hags

Wow!!
May I ask how you are able to acquire that many boxes? How many banks are involved?
