2012 sorting recap, thoughts.

Postby penny pretty » Sat Jan 19, 2013 8:02 pm

2012 was my first "calender year" of handsorting. Post what the year was like for you. The biggest suprise for me was that my percentage actually went UP after the 2012 cents came out. I only sort CWRs, and though the 2012s started showing up in them around may, I have not really seen a lot of them. What I have seen is a lot of 100% rolls! In 2011 when I first started, I was a steady 28%. I figure I was at LEAST 32% in 2012(folks rolling the change in a bad economy?) How did YOUR year go? :wave:

I have no point of reference since 2012 was my first year sorting but I did the math and I got 28% searching boxes.

Been raking in a consistent 28-30% through the ~5 years I have been at this.

I had to take about 5 months off due to moving. For the year I averaged 18.5 %

So far this month I am averaging 18.64% vs. 19.54% last year. I am not sure what one is to make of those numbers but it is just something to analyze. I have a goal of stacking over $25 copper per month. I am trying to spend more time stacking silver and from time to time some nickels.
