No matter how you think of it, a dirty discolored coin requiring further processing before spending is a loss leader...(12% Coinstar fee makes a Q worth 22c)...Even dumping them for 'free' if your bank has this feature, you are paying for something along the way in a hidden, on their schedule too, so no Sunday or afterhour dumps when a guy simply wants to buy some beer...Tumbling and shining them all up to max your profit? Rolling them? Work the math on that one!
All things considered, the more economical Clad strategy would be hunting for fresh shiny 'ready to spend' shallow drops...Following the sporting events and seasonal herds, running a fleet of totters on the weekly, eyeballing for bills, cans, anything of value, in a very fuel efficient vehicle...
Requires no kneepads, no digging implements besides a screwdriver, no pinpointer either....Or, popping and pulling a vast amount of dirtys, giving them a quick wipe off, and dumping them into the nearest Coinstar!
When it comes down to it, this Sport is the ONLY one I've ever been involved in that throws off immediate ready to spend money!...A fellow can leave the house before Sun-up, without a dollar to their name, have a half tank of gas, a simple detector, and a screwdriver, and by noon, be fully tanked! Without dinking around inside a bank, going home to tumble, or talking to anybody!
Thanks to the Coinstar! Thats worth 12% to me in the peaceful factor alone!! Not having your tires properly inflated, not establishing the most efficient ROI travel route, having a dirty MAF sensor is costing a Hunter a hell of a lot more in profit than a piddly CS fee!
A guy does not want to go too far down the rabbit hole figuring out ROI's or Hourly Payback on this Sport or on about anything else for that matter, especially not for a fishing boat or being married with kids!
...
Just be happy and snatch up some errant coins and dont worry about it...if you go too far thinking greedy profit, taking a hard look at all the other expenses..(Believe me, I have)..you will be hunting for cans and looking for free food to eat!!
Is that what you want? You are talking yourself right into it buddy!
