Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 11:20 pm Hi, I am known as WildBill and what I do is roll search American pennies and Canadian pennies and nickels. I have started to keep track of what I search to help me stay focused. What I'm tracking is Canadian .999 nickel vs cupronickel/nickel plated steel and the break-down by composition and basic designs. I hope someone else can get some value out of my time and feel free to use the information any way you see fit. I will make the full spread sheet available upon request, just ask with the dancing banana. Column "D" is latest data entry date and column "C" will be all data collected to date.

Your efforts documented here should faithfully chart the progress of their activity in this regard. Report this Post to the Staff
Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 03/05/2011 01:19 am Yes, it should chart their efforts long term but, I'm not throwing my .999 back in the wild.....see if I can race them to it ! I'm not going to let them get them all. Edited by Wild Bill 03/05/2011 01:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 03/05/2011 11:38 pm I wish I could afford to keep all the .999 I get in each box. My last 2 boxes were higher .999 then average per box. One was 23.5% and the other was around 30%. Unfortunately for me...I had to release them back to the wild. CRH on a fixed budget makes it hard to hoard copper & nickel to play the waiting game. My returns to the bank go to my next box to search. Keeping $20 - 25 out of a box of nickels really cuts into the budget. Not to mention the wife already likes to complain that my coins are scattered about. Maybe some day I will be able to hoard for the heck of it. Until I win the Lotto...I will stick with the system I have been using. :) Happy Hunting All! Report this Post to the Staff
