[Gilmore Happy]

The race to hoard 50,000 copper pennies continues.
TOTAL COPPERS in HOARDATION (it's a word now) since Oct 9, 2011: 765

Box #2:
4 wheats
2 CAD
457 Copper.


Although many banks were closed, I picked up 2 boxes from WF with clear wrap, and they look JUICY. Tore into box #3 and its producing well so far.

Stay tuned to the madness.

I say you get to your goal by box 117. :-)

 

[BuffaloBoy]

is this goal going to be done by the end of the year?

 

[AGBlex]

I'm sayin 119

Good question. I forecasted conservatively to hit this with 125 boxes. So 2 boxes/day was 63 days to hit (Mid December). However, two boxes a day is proving to be more tedious than I thought especially bc I can only hunt about an hour a day, sometimes more. I am handsorting as of now...

I have invited Mr Ryedale to stop by within the month. I heard he is a hard worker....Hopefully he is. Then we might hit the goal together twofold as I can see us doing 4 boxes a night. Fortunately, my bankroll is rather large for this task so we may not stop at 50K if I like the way its going, and I'm not burned out yet....

You will never hand sort another box of cents. That thing is beyond awesome.



Trust me.

This expedition for hoardation has me feeling like I need to step my own hunting up, lol. Glad to see the second box produce better numbers for you.

Play that funky music white boy! HH

 

[BuffaloBoy]

sounds like you'll be having so much dumping to do, as you don't have coin counters in your area?

 

[yonico]

nice finds
are these numbers considered average in your area?
when i was doing pennies here in NY, a box with less than 19% copper would disappoint me.
my average was 23.4%
i guess it's different in other areas..
nice finds though!

From what I have seen this is going to be about average for PHX. It is low compared to other regions but I'll have an accurate average after 100 boxes?? My guess is that averages will be declining everywhere with the invention of the copper sorters such as Rydale.

 

[GimmeSomeSilver]

Put me down for 111!
