hey guys,
quick questions: 1) do any of you have a ryedale sorter (apprentice)?
2) if yes, then can you confirm or deny whether the machine can be made to sort dimes?

yeah I know right? think of the possibilities. so I can sort out War Nickels with it too? have you tried it? it really looks like a great product but there doesn't seem to be enough info on it out there. |

I had a buddy that built one of these things and it worked well from what he said http://cgi.ebay.com/Copper-Penny-Si...em2a0da7590f . I ma sure you can find it cheaper so I was just showing the auction as an example to show what he used not to get anyone to buy it from them |

yeah but the ryedale is really where it's at. I've messed around with the one you're talking about bryan, and it's great for small quantities but I have more fish the fry.

yeah as I said I haven't used it myself I just remember him saying he liked it and it seemed to do the job for allot cheaper than the 500.00 the ryedale costs. This is the coolest copper sorter I think I have ever seen but its also slow, but looks cool working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6dYza7E9_c. I have actually seen one of these working before and it was cool to watch but not something you would want to use for efficiency or anything |

i have a ryedale and it works great. but it doesn't do dimes well. it only really does canadian nickels. I find that the us nickels are all over the place.

when you say it doesn't do dimes well, what do you mean? about how often does it miss the silvers?

Does this machine count coins, or sort (sort into what)?

it is a sorter, czar. the comparitor allows you to sort whatever you want. you can have silvers rejected, etc. or you can have coppers rejected. word on the street, though, is that it's not so great with the silvers.
I'm just trying to get a good idea here about exactly HOW bad it is with silvers.

andy the one who owns ryedale does not recommend using the machine to sort dimes b.c it isn't accurate

yeah he mentioned that to me, but he did say it would only miss about half of them, so to me it would still be a vast improvement. I usually get 2-3 per 250.00 in dimes, so if I can do 18,000 dimes in an hour it's an all around win-win. I was hoping someone might have already tried that.

dimes jam the comparitor, the ryedale is perfect for pennies and canadian nickels

Can you replace the comparator or is the issue with the feed mechanism?

the dimes are so thin that the feed mechanism will will feed a slightly worn penny with the dime at the same time, which in turn will jam in the comparitor

well, bill, I'm thinking that I wouldn't be mixing the dimes and pennies, so I'm thinking a penny wouldn't jam anything.
