Oh the Pennys

[tmjones550]

I have a question on pennies.I collect mainly halves for the silver and because they're so darn beautiful but I have noticed I have alot of pennies sitting around the house.I know wheat pennies are ones you want to pull to the side but are there any other ones I need to hold onto?Any ones before a date I need to hold onto?I have been coin roll hunting for a few years but just recently have gained more interest in other types of coins other than Pre-64 and halves and ww2 nickles.I love this hobby and I want to preserve any coins that I can pass down to my kids.Thanks for your help.

A lot of us on here save all of the pre-1982 copper pennies. There are also a lot of errors.

I sell the copper pennies and buy silver with the profits.

Who do you sell the coins to,or how do you go about selling the copper pennies?

On the 1982s, you will have to weigh them to determine which ones are copper and which ones are zincs. I picked up a nice jewelry scale online for less than 20 bucks.
