Copper Pennies?

[crhstreetwalker]

Anyone do this? I think I've read about it on here, I can't remember. Last year I decided to put together a $25 FV box of the things for the hell of it when they were $0.03 each, took me $200 in pennies to do so. It's still just sitting in my closet. Oldest wheat I've ever found was a 1937 in terrible, scratched up condition.

I sort pennies using a couple homemade Rube Goldbergs. Also sort halves.

Pennies are steady producers at 28% pre-82's. Halves are like the carrot hangin' on a stick in front of the horse...keep ploddin' after it but never get it. Now that I think about it, kind of like the definition of insanity; repeatedly doing the same thing hoping for a different outcome.

I have a 1958-D wheat like that. My oldest is a 1912 next to a donation box at school. Glad that one didn't go in the box. I did get some other wheats from the person that coordinated the donation, along with some foreign coins.
