Another bad brick

[VAB2013]

Well, Larry J and I seem to be batting 1000 with bad bricks lately. The one I am working on now (and can't wait to get through) is full of extremely dirty, green with age, covered in corrosion, loads of PSD, just bad. I was blessed to find one 2013P Trail Die.

Has anyone ever considered or tried to run an ad in Craigslist to go get someone's penny hoard? What would you do? Pay by weight plus a percentage? No way I'm gonna sit in someone's home and count them.

Please give me some ideas/feedback. Thank you!

At least you got a new trail die out of it... Use the rest as paper weights I have no idea about buying a penny hoard???

Heck I'm gonna try it, what could hurt? I just don't know the best way to pay for it because I doubt the person will want to fool with counting them. I need WILL's math skills. Lets see.. average weight between copper and zinc X "what" equals a pound... then a pound of pennies equals how many dollars... X dollars and X plus Y minus Z and they ya' go!

Hopefully there is no lead in the mix

You know, I could just put a brick on the scales and see when it reaches a pound and then count them... just thought of that!
