Good luck, idothisforfun.

You're right about coincollector. I live in Ohio, too, and until recently, lived in the same town as coincollector. Good thing I got out when I did. He would've made for some mighty slim pickins.

You'll love the Ryedale. Just make sure you have a plan for buying the pennies and returning the rejects.

I do my teller is my cousin, She knows she will be getting BUNCHS of my pennies, she also makes sure I will be getting my boxes each week

For a total of 38 wheaties so far,

And still more searching to go tonight,

The one box has all my rejects anything 1982 and later, I have a 25 dollar box HEAPING full, and a stainless pan almost full, and my keepers not including my wheaties is another box that is a 25 dollar box that is about 2/3 full,

Will post more finds later, LUCKLY I have only found 2 foreign coins in this hole mess.

<<For a total of 38 wheaties so far, >>

Not bad! 38 wheats in 2 boxes. 19 per box? I'd take that. :-)

I had 25 wheats in FIVE boxes, and then 46 wheats in my next five boxes (better, but still not like yours!) today. total 71 wheats in 10 boxes. 7.1 average, instead of 19!

Congrats. Your wheat ratio is NICE. :-)

LOL guys,

We still have lots of copper still here in Ohio compared to California.
I hear there getting 10% out there Im getting 30%+ but I know that will not last for long.
I need to sort as many as I can before the 08 pennies come out because the %'s will drop when new coins release.
Where Abouts are you idothisforfun?
also idothisforfun save all your 82's to run in the Ryedale if I remember right 75% were copper that year.
If you dont save them your toughing away copper I saved them before I got my machine to run them.

Happy Sorting,
CC

I am near Marietta, I am on the Ohio, WV border, and my town is plum full of banks,
I havent been saving them, and dont expect me to go back threw all them to pull out the 82's

 

[coincollector101]
