Hey all!
I was thinking about expanding my CRHing into nickles.
Problem is that, it seems to me (and please correct me if I am wrong about this) that nickles are really hard to CRH.
It's not possible to identify the 35% sivler nickles visually from a simple edge inspection right?
You really have to look at the dates, and even then you can't be 100% certian because some years of nickles had multiple compositions.
Does anyone here CRH nickles that could perhapes give me some insight on best practices for sifting nickles?
I also saw this contraption on ebay...it claims to be able to sort silver nickles from normal nickles and copper pennies from zinc. Has anyone ever tried such a contraption before?

Any insight is appreciated. :-)
Thanks for looking, and good hunting!
