Ryedale Coin machines

[Weasel_Loader]

Anyone use these? I saw the youtube video on that and it seems to do an incredible job separating the copper and zincs. I can see a great advantage to using it as you'd be able to go through boxes so much faster, but then I wonder if it will ruin all the fun?

If you just want copper, then it is a lot better i think. If you want to search for errors and the like, then it isn't so good.

Wonderful machine. I separate wheats and IHs too, but do that mostly after the copper zinc separation.

I watch the zinc side to see if any old coins come out (It has trouble with 1935 - 1945 wheats, not recognizing them as copper) and then I sort all the copper side to get the majority of the wheats.

I am close to 1,000 wheats and over 40,000 copper pennies since January. And it's been a busy time so I don't use it very often.

To put it in plain words - I like my Ryedale more than my White's DFX. Period. Does that say something?

Awesome machine.
I've put 900,000 through mine so far.
Vey efficient.

I'm up to 512,000, so you are well ahead of me. And you got yours after I got mine.

good job. You're spending the time to do it.

So, with 900,000 at 18% copper (A guess, but close?) that puts you at .... 162,000 in coppers?

:-)

NOt bad. At 150 per pound, that is over 1000 pounds of copper.

GOOD JOB.
