Copper pennies

[pristinelove89]

Does anyone hold onto copper pennies for melt value? Is it even worth it? Or should i just treat them as zinc pennies and just spend them? I feel stupid for asking.

Some have had success selling them over face value. I've been saving them and have so many I need to start trying to move them.

Any recommended reading for that?

Do you well on eBay coin town? And how many pennies would be in each lot?

All my copper memorials go into a big glass water bottle.

Interesting minds what to know how many u sell in a lot?

I have about $600 in copper saved up. I used to sell them for 2x face. I'm just waiting for another chance to sell again.

Are these pennies all pre 81 or just clad?

The poster said they were copper, so yes.

Nice usaandthem! I think I'm gonna start holding onto them! Might be worth something someday.

They're worth something now if you can find the right buyer.

Well, I only have a couple dollars in copper saved up compared to your 600.

I used to get boxes from the bank. That got old real quick! The first two were fun to search. I couldn't image doing boxes a week! I think the oldest I forums was a 1936.

I have been doing 5-6 boxes every 2 weeks. I have $100 in rolled copper ready to sell on eBay, and about $100 ready to be rolled. I am wanting to sell them soon so I can get some of my coin roll hunting funds back to be able to get a nickel box every 2 weeks also.

Was just surfing Ebay for prices on Pre 82 pennies and I don't see anybody getting bids on their bulk pennies.


Just really curious if it really is worth saving any pre 82 pennies?

 

[Hunter612]

I was going to split mine up into $20 lots. Then I will see if I can make at least a small profit. I am only doing it to up my funds. I am also wanting to save up for a new metal detector.

You might be surprised how fast it builds up. My main interest is silver but I do one cent box every week. Was doing four for a while. Just toss them aside and week after week I build my hoard. I've got a half gallon or so of wheaties and almost a gallon of Canadian copper.

I figured that every $1.50 is one lb and sold it on eBay
