I used to not care saving the copper, until I had a guy on Ebay tell me he would buy them by the pound. Plus its a good way for me to stash money and forgot about it

How much do you get per pound?

About 6 months ago, I was getting about 80-90 dollars for 5000 pennies, after fees, I was getting about 75 bucks for 50 bucks worth of coins...it wasnt alot, but It paid for my Silver habit..lol... I know its not alot of money, but when I get 500 dollars in Dimes and find 4 bucks worth of Silver...it makes my day...it all adds up

here is a guy doing it now...he was sorta my competition

nice to see some copper finds. I think the collectibles are quite interesting. the 1919 would be one of my oldest, if not the oldest. Great find!
