Quick Question For Copper/Wheatie Hunting

If the 59-62 has the same composition as wheaties, then I will definitely have to do hand sorting. When it arrives and I set it up, I will make a video for you. Those analyzers are highly accurate. The cheap model I bought, I ran the comparator coin as a zinc, a copper, and a wheatie. I finally had to run it during sorting with a zinc in the comparator. I started with a copper, but noticed the wheaties were dumping with the zincs. When you run a coin through it has a reject side, and anything that doesn't match the comparator coin, goes out that side.

If you look at my post history, you will see the hand fed model I created. The Ryedale is just that, on steroids, with a automated feeding system.

Kritler, If you are approaching this as a business or investment, I would advise against pulling certain varieties of wheat's before you sell. How would you advertise this? I imagine your write up on ebay: "I have unsearched wheat pennies...well sort of. I pulled this one, this one, this one, and this one, but all the other great ones could be there". Plus, it would be cost prohibitive to take the time to search every Wheat penny but only pull 3 to 5 varieties when there are many more worth pulling. Either sort them or don't, but don't play around with partial sorting. Just my advice.

Referencing the article Doom1692 linked in the above post, whoever wrote that article has sanity issues. First of all, he uses way too many exclamation points(!) If you scroll to the bottom of the article to where people post comments, somebody got him to admit that there are "146 copper pennies in a pound of copper". Copper is currently $3.61 per pound. Whether or not it's legal to melt it into bars or not, I'll take a $3.61 per pound of copper in the form of $1.46 ANY DAY. Maybe somebody can point out something positive that this article is trying to convey, but I have to admit that article had me laughing out loud.

Picked up 3 boxes yesterday, one box was entirely hand wrapped, I was pretty excited until I realized these were hand wrapped by someone culling copper!

My impression from the Banks out here in AZ, is there are not many active CRHers. Whenever I do a pickup, tellers are so curious, and have no idea why I would be getting so much coin.
