Today as a roll searcher for Cents, I pull all the copper I find. Since I look at every coin anyway, it doesn't take any more time to toss them into my sort cups rather than the dump jar. Once ina while I find a real goodie like the 1988 D RDV-006 I got this year. It makes it well worth it to me to spend my time on this facet of the hobby.
