I am pretty busy most of the time (work 60 -75 hours a week most weeks) and do a lot of CRH is short spurts. Just did a spurt of Cents (pennies for most of us). I don't normally track per box averages or anything like that, since I do so many boxes per month or year, but for this batch I decided to keep some individual records. Here's what I found:
655 wheat cents (Average of 9.36 per box. Best box had 15. Lowest was 3.)
34,000 copper cents (Average 485 +/- per box. I don't have an exact number on the copper, as I fill $25 cent boxes and know where the line is for "About 2,000" per box. I'm normally within 50 of that number either direction when I do a spot check to verify. I just keep filling boxes and putting them in the garage. I added 17 boxes to the pile with this batch. I now have ... well a LOT of them. LOL. About a ton and a half of copper cents in the garae right now)
That 485 per box is about 19.43% copper. Which is HIGHER than my average over the last few years. In fact, both are higher. I don't know if I hit a small vein or what, because I've been averagaing 16% - 18% on copper for a few YEARS and aout 6 - 7 wheats per box.
I don't have dates on the wheats yet, as they are in the box with prior wheats that are not sorted yet. I just sorted a large amount, but still have maybe 1,600 to sort and date yet. I'll do that in November, and post my wheat year by year totals again with the update when I am done.
19.43% copper and 9.36 wheats per box. A good batch. :-)
