I had to go and buy a gallon jug of Carlo Rossi wine to get a bottle to put my coppers in a few weeks ago. I hadn't drunk that stuff since high school. And the price has doubled in the last 15 years So far I have 20lbs from casually sorting over the last few years. I guess I better step my game up if I want to compete with the pros.




Funny, as I was thinking something similar. But with whisky.
Rest in Peace

cd-

you're better off using plastic or metal containers. A gallon jug is designed to hold 8# of liquid, not #65 of metal, as many have found out when they lift one and the bottom stays put. Cleaning broken glass from a pile of coins is no fun at all.

I would like to stress what biggfredd said. I personally became a victim of this when someone with an old 5G water jug half full of change asked me to help lift it.

Bottom dropped out on my foot. Luckily had boots on and there was minimal damage (to me).

Phillies Blunt boxes work quite well for storing them also. I have obtained a small collection of these.
