<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PhattyB, post: 1410002, member: 37299&quot;]I run a vending machine route that goes to schools where students can&nbsp; purchase (secondary public schools and a large university).&nbsp; I also hit&nbsp; other machines here and there accessed by the general public.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a 1964 Washington Quarter is what got me into this hobby.&nbsp; I&nbsp; found it in a coin jam inside a mall caused by somebody trying to use&nbsp; some oversized foreign junk coin.&nbsp; I was no coin expert, but I noticed&nbsp; it sticking out like a sore thumb and investigated why it was different.&nbsp; Anyways, I&#039;m really starting to get into coins.&nbsp; I&#039;m reading and&nbsp; learning more everyday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most machines I service are newish, or at least new enough that they&nbsp; probably reject silver quarters from what I&#039;ve learned.&nbsp; They maybe take&nbsp; silver dimes, and will definitely take silver war nickles.&nbsp; I probably&nbsp; have access to hundreds of dollars in coinage everyday that would&nbsp; normally just get bagged and picked up by Brinks.&nbsp; When I come off my&nbsp; vacation, I&#039;m going to take some silver coins and experiment.&nbsp; (Mentally&nbsp; flag machines that will accept them)</p><p><br /></p><p>I get paid by the day but I&#039;m not allowed to come back until a certain&nbsp; time.&nbsp; The earlier I start, the less hassles I see in my day due to&nbsp; traffic, people, etc.&nbsp; So, I&#039;ve been thinking with the hour or two I&nbsp; have spare caused by my choice to work more hassle-free, I&#039;m wanting to&nbsp; sort some coins for hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking of getting a sorter.&nbsp; Then I can rim check quarters and&nbsp; dimes.&nbsp; The simplest and least time consuming.&nbsp; Then if I have more&nbsp; time, I can check nickels looking for Pre-1959, and especially&nbsp; 1942-1945.&nbsp; If I have even more time, I can look for collectable state&nbsp; quarters?&nbsp; (I need to educate myself more here, I know)</p><p><br /></p><p>Any sorter recommendations?&nbsp; Any other ideas I should consider?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
