That seems like a decent yield of nickel. Stupid question, is there a nickel sorting wheel for the Rydale?

Not a stupid question at all. According to the internet, there is a ryedale that sorts nickels. I've got to believe that a few people in Canada used one 15 years ago when nickel was over $20 a pound.

Unfortunately this is an anomaly. I believe that people brought back changes gathered over years for x-mas expenses.

I will keep sorting until the % drops again ... as it did in 2013.

Makes sense, silver seems to show up more often around this time of the year.

$60 face. All 30 rolls were CWR

12 pre 1960, nothing really good, nothing older than 1940. And 2 of the 12 are in poor condition - to be spent.

3 Canadian nickels (all junk)

A 1911 Italy 20c coin in VG-F condition!
NGC says 50 cents. Not bad. This coin is 114 years old.
