Just found a flawless wartime cent.

Postby John_doe » Fri Jun 03, 2011 1:41 am

I know it is worth much, but the ryedale kicked it out. It was literally about to go in the dump banks coinstar machine, when I saw something shiny.

I love finding stuff like this! I'll post some pics.

Edit:

sorry for the low quality I'll try to get some high res pics

Wow... nice! So there really is something other than zinc in that pile. I have found nothing in my zinc pile out of 10 bags so far.

A good case for running coins twice through the Ryedale if you had a zinc as your test coin it would be in with the coppers. Are sorting goes like this first Franklin hand sorts. Then into the Ryedale it go with a zinc test coin and then I had sort that pulling out the nicer coppers, wheats, Ect.
