Thanks again for the huge job you have been committed to as keeper of the stats.

Without your work I wouldn't have but the slightest idea of how my searching compares.

You always surprise me.

It gives us all a wood stove to gather around and share our passions.

Glad to see you have been finding some silver.

I have been busy collecting since I took a break from halves and the break was well worth it mentally.

Now I am back in with one foot anyway and it's fun again.

Cheers!

Gotta admit that I have no idea where he gets the time to track all of it or the energy. He has my thanks.

On a side note. Now, I have never seen Country, but get the image of a little old guy (at least in his 90's), bald and with thick glasses hunched over a desk with his computer and abacus with his hands moving at an amazing speed adding up all our post. :lol:

I'm not 90, but I am retired with some time on my hands. It's kind of a balance with me, I love to sort coins, but my mathematical nature loves to collect data. Gotta have time to sort too; and give the COPPER AND SILVER in the wild a new home with me. :mrgreen:

I've optimized most of the stats with Excel spreadsheets with multiple array formulas to sum data from multiple worksheets. With a simple data entry worksheet to enter each person's data, the output is automatically created. If I had to update everything by hand, I would have lost track of things long ago. :)

Excel is a nice product.

I use it to keep track of types, totals, weights and prices.

I can see how you could have refined your process.

Great job none the less!

I echo the thanks also to Country. I know he has automated a lot of it but its still a heck of a lot of work to consistantly keep it updated, let alone setting up the spreadsheets. I always look forward to seeing the stats, a great way to measure your performance to others accross the states. Thanks Country!

For some reason when I envision country I think of a guy about 6' 6" with hands bigger than bear grizzly paws.
