Anyways the machine was used this weekend, since I now had $500 in unsorted pennies that i was telling myself i would hand sort over the winter. 
And would you believe i found a G+ 1902 indian head cent, 1984 die cud, 198? penny ~15% off-strike, a 1998Wide AM, and a VF or better 1909 VDB. So far that is to say since there's a good amount not looked through in both the coppers and zinc piles.
Anyways i'm thinking this is a sign not to sell the machine. It works great, and even if i could get $600 or more for the pair that's only 1.2 half boxes...
Hope you all have nice stories and good % finds in 2011!
