I was searching through $50 in pennies with my Ryedale when I spotted a 1943 steel penny. I threw it in the Ryedale and it went in the zinc tray. I expected this to happen. But it got me wondering about Indian Head pennies. So I took a 1901 95% copper IH and threw it in the machine..... and to my suprise it ended up in the zinc bin. All 3 of my IH's ended up in the zinc bin I thought copper pennies were separated from the zincs?? Is the IH so different from the Lincoln penny that the Ryedale thinks it's zinc? Or is my Ryedale defective? Or does this happen with all the Ryedale machines? Could someone test this for me please?
