    the grade is irrelevant unless you are talking like MS-67 level. Either keep all or none of them. I don't bother with them.

    Sounds like you do it for the hobby aspect of it.

    If copper cents could be sold for 3 cents and wheats for 5 cents....could you make even $5/ hour sorting cents ?

    Exactly right. Just for the fun of it and gets the kids involved. Probably would not be a good business model but I have read that people actually do this for a living. I'm doing it as a fun way to save $$$ and gets the kids interested in coins

    I have $40.00 in the machine & about $3.00 in wood for a stand I threw together. They make consumer machines that cost $400 & $500 (Ryedales) but mine does what it needs to.

    It's one that is basically the same. May actually have the same mechanical compariter, not sure. Bought it off Ebay
