Saving pennies? Pshhhh.....you guys are crazy!

I do 1 or 2 boxes per month looking for wheats. I put the coppers aside to be rolled and boxed up. Why not. It costs almost nothing and maybe in the future copper will really jump up. I also think the cent may dissapear from circulation sometime after the '09 anniversery. If it does I think the ban on melting would fall as well.

I do save the wheat penny's and any from the 60's and earlier that I find MDing.

All I save is wheats....

I separate and save them. Just for the heck of it. Why not? Can't hurt.

Some go for less, just watch when and how you list to be successful. These are the more successful listings.

It surprised me to. I might have to go through rolls pennies instead of halves. I was looking at bigger lots of cents because I just bought 25,000 unsearched wheat cents and have been going through them. I will be putting them into lots and selling them when I am done. Me and my son have gone through 15,000 so far to separate out the steel and pre 1940's. 1 in 10 have fit into the latter category. We have found about 15 indians and a silver dime. No high value coins, but an '09 ans several in the $5 range. I will post a full report when we are done. It will be a while if I check for all the d over s and so forth

COOL.

If they are bidding $121 for $50 of copper pennies now, give it a year or two and that will be even higher.

Witht he new sorter machine I hope to get this week, I might be able to crank out a fair amount of coppers. :-) And I'll keep all the wheats and IHs I find. :-) If I can sell some pre 1982 for this though I can pay off the nahine pretty darn quick. :-)
