To dirtyrob,
You may be right, but KT just looks at the time it would take to sort all those pennies by hand, and the fellow does not have a mechanical sorter.
Time is money as they say....if you have fun with it, then have at it. but it could turn into a lot of work AND time.
As for the copper pennies...ok, maybe he lives close to one of your buyers, but maybe he doesn't. CA is a big state! Gas cost might just eat him up unless the buyers would be passing through on their way and pick them up.
Errors are a possibility that KT had not thought of, granted, but to get familar with the better common ones will take time and some education. He will have to spend some time learning all that....fun of the hobby of course!
There are just some pros and cons to this situation, but since he has them, and is in no rush, he can take plenty of time when he is not doing anything else...like a filler job or project you come back to again and again when other things slack off a bit! That is the way KT would do it, perhaps a couple handfuls at a time every evening or so! That way he can loupe every coin!
And BTW, don't bust that bottle! Someone will give ya a $10.00 bill! That's profit!
