I agree I sort all my copper twice. I usually run them through the second time in pails of 10,000 and sometimes I find 7 or 8 zincs in 10,000 and sometimes only 1 or 2. And I too always throw in an extra 25 - 30 copper pennies in each bag I sell so I know you won't find any zincers in anything I sell either.

And I don't at all doubt you, but you're sure most of those zincs aren't 1982's fooling someone?Probably not, just throwing it out there.
