I learn so much from this site. I never even heard of a copper sorter before reading this thread. Here is a youtube video about one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM9RnDJo9D0

CoinHunter53562..Well put on the original topic! And thanks for the links! I have been pondering buying a copper sorter, but I just can't see forking out $400-$900 for one..and my eyes haven't went crossed yet as my fiance swears.


Yeah I hear ya. I have thought about buying one of those Ryedale machines, but then I think it will feel more like a job versus a hobby at that point. Plus it's already awkward dumping thousands of zinc cents at a time. To pay for the Ryedale, you would have sort and sell thousands upon thousands of copper and zinc cents. And of course the Ryedale will sort your wheats or other error varieties for you.

Dont get me wrong, the Ryedale is an awesome sounding machine if your goal is to hoard as much copper as possible, or to resell it for a profit. I just dont have the space or time or desire though to go to that level.

Oh and when I found my first Indian Head cent in a box of pennies, it was surreal. At first I thought it was a foreign coin (it was face down) so I grabbed it and said to myself "hmm...what is this?". When I turned it over and realized it was an IHC, it was quite the rush. I still get excited each time I find a Wheat cent or the occasional foreign coin, so I think I would miss that by doing machine sorting.
